6. Safety information

General power tool safety warnings m WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instruc- tions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to observe safety informa- tion and instructions can result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injuries. Save all warnings and instructions for future ref- erence. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains- operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive at- mospheres, such as in the presence of flam- mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.5GB/IE/NI/CY/MT

2. Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Nev- er modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or ground- ed surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec- tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con- ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of carelessness when us- ing electrical tools can result in serious injuries. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, pick- ing up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, en- sure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards. h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

4. Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detacha- ble, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or stor- ing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are danger- ous in the hands of untrained users. e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check whether moving parts function properly and do not get stuck and whether parts are broken or are damaged and thus adversely affect the electric tool function. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly main- tained power tools.6 GB/IE/NI/CY/MT f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situa- tions.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replace- ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Safety instructions for chop and mitre saws a) Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or woodlike products, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous material such as bars, rods, studs, etc. Abra- sive dust causes moving parts such as the lower guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts. b) Use clamps to support the workpiece when- ever possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand, you must always keep your hand at least 100 mm from either side of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are too small to be securely clamped or held by hand. If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there is an increased risk of injury from blade contact. c) The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or held against both the fence and the table. Do not feed the workpiece into the blade or cut “freehand” in any way. Unre- strained or moving workpieces could be thrown at high speeds, causing injury. d) Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting either in front or behind the saw blade. Supporting the workpiece “cross handed” i.e. holding the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa is very dangerous. e) Do not reach behind the fence while the blade is spinning. Observe the 100 mm safety distance between hands and the rotating saw blade (this applies to both sides of the saw blade, e.g. also when removing waste pieces of wood). The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured. f) Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain that there is no gap between the workpiece, fence and table along the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift and may cause binding on the spinning saw blade while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign objects in the work- piece. g) Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the workpiece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with high speed. h) Only cut one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.

i) Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on

a level, firm work surface before use. A level and firm work surface reduces the risk of the mitre saw becoming unstable. j) Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or mitre angle setting, make sure the adjustable fence is set correctly to support the workpiece and will not interfere with the blade or the guarding system. Without turning the tool “ON” and with no workpiece on the table, move the saw blade through a complete simulated cut to assure there will be no interference or danger of cut- ting the fence.7GB/IE/NI/CY/MT k) Provide adequate support such as table ex- tensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces that are longer or wider than the table of the chop and mitre saw can tip if they are not properly supported. If the cut-off piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade. l) Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as additional support. Unstable support of the workpiece can lead to the blade becoming jammed. Also, the workpiece could shift dur- ing the cutting process, pulling you or your assistant into the rotating blade. m) The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the spinning saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently. n) Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly support round material such as rods or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to “bite” and pull the work with your hand into the blade. o) Let the blade reach full speed before contact- ing the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being thrown. p) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the mitre saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack. Then, remove the jammed material. If you continue sawing with such jamming this can result in a loss of control or to the chop and mitre saw being damaged. q) After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head down and wait for the blade to stop before removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous. Safety instructions for the handling of saw blades

• Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use of im- proper electrical connection cables.

• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been met, some non-obvious residual risks may still remain.9GB/IE/NI/CY/MT

• Residual risks can be minimised if the “Safety instructions” and “Proper use” are observed along with the whole of the operating instructions.

• Do not load the machine unnecessarily: excessive pres- sure when sawing will quickly damage the saw blade, which results in reduced output of the machine in the pro- cessing and in cut precision.

• When cutting plastic material, please always use clamps: the parts which should be cut must always be fixed be- tween the clamps.

• Avoid accidental starting of the machine: the start button may not be pressed when inserting the plug in an outlet.

• Use the tool that is recommended in this manual. This is how to ensure that your machine provides optimum per- formance.

• Keep your hands away from the work area, when the ma- chine is in operation.

• Before performing setting or maintenance work, release the start button and pull out the power plug. Warning! This power tool generates an electromagnetic field during operation. This field can impair active or passive medical im- plants under certain conditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with medical implants consult with their physician and the manu- facturer of the medical implant prior to operating the power tool.

• Operating mode S6, uninterrupted, periodic operation. The mode comprises of a start-up period, a time with constant load and an idle time. The operating time is 10 mins, the duty cycle is 25% of the operating time. The workpiece must have a minimum height of 3mm and a minimum width of 10 mm. Make sure that the workpiece is always secured with the clamping device. Noise The noise values have been determined in accordance with EN 62841. Sound pressure level L

................................................................... 3 dB Wear hearing protection. Excessive noise can result in a loss of hearing. The specified noise emission values have been measured in accordance with a standardised test procedure and can be used to compare one power tool with another. The specified noise emission values can also be used for an initial estimation of the exposure.

• The noise emission values can vary from the specified val- ues during the actual use of the power tool, depending on the type and the manner in which the power tool is used, and in particular the type of workpiece being processed.

• Try to keep the stress as low as possible. For example: Limit working time. In doing so, all parts of the operating cycle must be taken into account (such as times in which the elec- tric tool is switched off or times in which it is switched on, but is not running under a load).

9.7 Mitre cut between 0° and 45° and rotary ta-

ble between 0° and 45° (fig. 1/2/3/6) Tool required: - Allen key 3 mm (D) The mitre saw can be used to make mitre cuts to the left of 0°- 45° in relation to the work face and, at the same time, 0° - 45° to the left or 0° - 45° to the right in relation to the stop rail (double mitre cut). Attention! For mitre cuts (inclined saw head), the adjustable stop rail (8a) must be fixed in the outer position. With a cross-cut saw tilted to 31.6° and a unit tilt of 33.9°, isosceles triangular strips and profiles such as stucco edge profiles can be mitred with the profile side down. This is particularly advantageous for large profiles that ex- ceed the maximum cutting height with normal insertion. It also makes it easy to solve problems with the angle at the corners, which is often not right-angled. Attention! For mitre cuts between 0° and 45°, mount the clamping device (workpiece clamp) (15) only on the right side.

• Loosen the locking screw (8b) on the moveable stop rails (8a) and push the moveable stop rails (8a) outwards.13GB/IE/NI/CY/MT
