Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

a) Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo- spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq- uids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operat- ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapt- er plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Un- modified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur- faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig- erators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi- tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for car- rying, 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 ex- tension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of elec- tric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is un- avoidable, 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 com- mon 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 mo- ment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing pro- tection used for appropriate conditions will reduce per- sonal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking 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 turn- ing the power tool on. A wrench or a key left at- tached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal- ance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew- ellery. 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, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust col- lection 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 con- trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be re- paired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such precautionary measures reduce the risk of start- ing the power tool accidentally. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the pow- er tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of un- trained users. 26 | GB www.scheppach.come) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, break- age of parts and any other condition that may af- fect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main- tained 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 hazard- ous 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 situations.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified re- pair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

5.1 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. Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as the lower protective cover to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the lower pro- tective cover, the kerf insert and other plastic parts. b) Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever 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 in- jury 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 saw blade or cut “free- hand” in any way. Unrestrained or moving workpiec- es could be thrown at high speeds, causing injury. d) Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the saw through the workpiece. To make a cut, raise the saw head and pull it out over the work- piece without cutting. Start the motor, press the saw head down and push the saw through the workpiece. Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on top of the workpiece and vi- olently throw the blade assembly towards the opera- tor. e) 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. f) Do not reach behind the fence while the saw 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 prox- imity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured. g) Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the work- piece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the out- side bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain that there is no gap between the work- piece, 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 workpiece. h) 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.

i) 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. j) 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 becom- ing unstable. k) Plan your work. Every time you adjust 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 protec- tive cover. Without turning the machine “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 cutting the fence. l) Provide adequate support such as table exten- sions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wid- er 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 pro- tective cover or be thrown by the spinning blade. m) Do not use another person as a substitute for a ta- ble extension or as additional support. Unstable support of the workpiece can lead to the blade becom- ing jammed. Also, the workpiece could shift during the cutting process, pulling you or your assistant into the rotating blade. n) 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 vio- lently. o) Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to prop- erly support round material such as rods or tub- ing. Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to “bite” and pull the work with your hand into the blade. p) Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the work- piece being thrown. GB | 27www.scheppach.comq) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the mitre saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop and disconnect the mains plug from the power source and/or remove the rechargeable battery. Then, remove the jammed material. Continued saw- ing with a jammed workpiece could cause loss of con- trol or damage to the mitre saw. r) After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head down and wait for the blade to stop be- fore removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous. s) Hold the handle firmly when making an incom- plete cut or when releasing the switch before the saw head is completely in the down position. The braking action of the saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.
