The crosscut, drag and mitre saw is designed to cross- cut wood and plastic respective of the machine’s size. The saw is not designed for cutting rewood. Warning! Do not use the saw to cut materials other than those specied described in manual. Warning! The supplied saw blade is only intended for the saw- ing of wood! Do not use this blade for the sawing of rewood! The equipment is to be used only for its prescribed pur- pose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user / operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries of any kind caused as a result of this.www.scheppach.com

Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non- skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce per- sonal injuries. c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the o󰀨-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger 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, ensure 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 ig- nore 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 o󰀨. Any power tool that can- not 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 detachable, from the power tool before making any adjust- ments, changing accessories, or storing pow- er tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil- dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

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 am- mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c. Keep children and bystanders away while op- erating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

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. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded 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 in- crease 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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or med- ication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.www.scheppach.com

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 workpiece without cutting, start the mo- tor, 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 violently throw the blade assembly towards the operator. 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. hold- ing 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 with either hand closer than 100 mm from either side of the saw blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other reason while the blade is spinning. 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 workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain that there is no gap be- tween 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 workpiece. h) Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the work- piece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with high speed.

i) Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked mul-

tiple 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, rm work surface before use. A level and rm work surface reduces the risk of the mitre saw becoming unstable. k) Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or mitre angle setting, make sure the ad- justable 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 cutting the fence. e. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may a󰀨ect the power tool’s operation. If dam- aged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. 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 di󰀨erent 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 situations.

a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Safety instructions for mitre saws a) Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood- like products, they cannot be used with abra- sive cut-o󰀨 wheels for cutting ferrous material such as bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive 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. Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown at high speeds, caus- ing injury.www.scheppach.com

5. Make sure that a suitable saw blade for the materi-

al to be cut is selected.

6. Only use saw blades recommended by the man-

ufacturer. Saw blades designed to cut wood and similar materials must comply with EN 847-1.

7. Do not use saw blades made of high-speed alloy

8. Only use saw blades for which the maximum per-

missible speed is not lower than the maximum spindle speed of the crosscut, drag and mitre saw and which are suitable for the material to be cut.

9. Observe the saw blade direction of rotation.

10. Only insertion the saw blade if you have mastered

11. Observe the maximum speed. The maximum

speed specied on the insertion tool may not be exceeded. If specied, observe the speed range.

12. Clean grease, oil and water o󰀨 of the clamping

13. Do not use any loose reducing rings or bushes for

the reducing of holes on saw blades.

14. Make sure that xed reducer rings for securing the

insertion tool have the same diameter and have at least 1/3 of the cutting diameter.

15. Make sure that xed reducer rings are parallel to

16. Handle insertion tool with caution. They are ideally

stored in the originally package or special contain- ers. Wear protective gloves in order to improve grip and to further reduce the risk of injury.

17. Prior to the use of insertion tools, make sure that

all protective devices are properly fastened.

18. Prior to use, make sure that the insertion tool

meets the technical requirements of this electric tool and is properly fastened.

19. Only use the supplied saw blade for cutting wood,

never for the processing of metals.

20. Only use saw blade diameters in accordance with

the markings on the saw.

21. Use additional workpiece supports, if required for

workpiece stability.

22. Workpiece support extensions must always be se-

cured and used during work.

23. Replace table inserts when worn!

24. Avoid overheating of the saw teeth.

25. When sawing plastic, avoid melting of the plastic.

Use the appropriate saw blades for this purpose. Replace damaged or worn saw blades immediately. When the saw blade overheats, stop the machine. Allow the saw blade to cool down before using the machine again. l) Provide adequate support such as table exten- sions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or longer than the table top. Workpiec- es longer or wider than the mitre saw table can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-o󰀨 piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade. m) Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as additional support. Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling you and the helper into the spinning blade. n) The cut-o󰀨 piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the spinning saw blade. If conned, i.e. using length stops, the cut-o󰀨 piece could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently. o) Always use a clamp or a xture designed to properly support round material such as rods or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while be- ing cut, causing the blade to “bite” and pull the work with your hand into the blade. p) Let the blade reach full speed before contact- ing the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being thrown. q) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the mitre saw o󰀨. Wait for all moving parts to stop and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack. Then work to free the jammed material. Contin- ued sawing with a jammed workpiece could cause loss of control or damage to the mitre saw. r) After nishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head down and wait for the blade to stop before removing the cut-o󰀨 piece. Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous. s) Hold the handle rmly when making an incom- plete cut or when releasing the switch before the saw head is completely in the down posi- tion. The braking action of the saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward, caus- ing a risk of injury. Safety Instructions for the handling of saw blades

1. Do not use damaged or deformed saw blades.

2. Do not use any insertion tools with cracks. Sort out

cracked insertion tools. Repairs are not permitted.
