General Power Tool SafetyWarnings

WARNING

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow

the warnings and instructions 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.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable 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.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never 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 grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. 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 conditions. 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 and 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.

3) Personal safety

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 inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as 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, 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 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, clothing and gloves 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.

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 re-paired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing 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 dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect 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 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.

5) Service

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

Machine-specific SafetyWarnings

• Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
• Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or explode.
• Never leave the machine before it has come to a complete stop. Cutting tools that are still running can cause injuries.
• Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug when the cable is damaged while working. Damaged cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
• Never make warning signs on the machine unrecognisable.
• Never stand on the power tool. Serious injuries can occur when the power tool tips over or when inadvertently coming into contact with the saw blade.
  Make sure that the guard operates properly and that it can move freely. Never lock the guard in place when opened.
• Keep hands away from the cutting area while the machine is running. Danger of injury when coming in contact with the saw blade.
• Never remove cutting remainders, wood chips, etc. from the sawing area while the machine is running. Always guide the tool arm back to the neutral position first and then switch the machine off.

34 | English

Guide the saw blade against the workpiece only when the machine is switched on. Otherwise there is damage of kickback, when the saw blade becomes wedged in the workpiece.
Operate the power tool only when the work area to the workpiece is clear of any adjusting tools, wood chips, etc. Small pieces of wood or other objects that come in contact with the rotating saw blade can strike the operator with high speed.
Always firmly clamp the piece to be worked. Do not saw workpieces that are too small to clamp. Otherwise, the clearance of your hand to the rotating saw blade is too small.
Operate the machine only for materials mentioned under "Intended Use". Otherwise, the machine can be subject to overload.
Do not use dull, cracked, bent or damaged saw blades. Unsharpened or improperly set saw blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.

Always use saw blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor holes. Saw blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw blades. Such saw blades can easily break.
Do not touch the saw blade after working before it has cooled. The saw blade becomes very hot while working.
- Never operate the machine without the insert plate. Replace a defective insert plate. Without flawless insert plates, injuries are possible from the saw blade.
Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals and do not stare into the laser beam yourself, not even from a distance. This power tool produces laser class 2 laser radiation according to EN 60825-1. Other persons could be blinded unintentionally.
Do not allow children unsupervised use of the power tool with laser. They could blind other people.
Do not replace the installed laser with another laser type. A laser that does not fit to this power tool could pose dangers for other persons.

Working Advice

General Sawing Instructions

For all cuts, it must first be ensured that the saw blade at no time can come in contact with the fence, screw clamps or other machine parts. Remove possibly mounted auxiliary stops or adjust them accordingly.

Protect the saw blade against impact and shock. Do not subject the saw blade to lateral pressure.

Do not saw warped/bent workpieces. The workpiece must always have a straight edge to face against the fence.

Illuminating the Work Area (Power Light)

(see figure O)

Provide for sufficient lighting of the direct working area.

• For this, switch on the lighting unit 55 with the switch 32.

Marking the Cutting Line

(see figure P)

A laser beam indicates the cutting line of the saw blade. This allows for exact positioning of the workpiece for sawing, without having to open the retracting blade guard.

• For this, switch the laser beam on with the switch 33.
• Align the cutting mark on your workpiece with reference to the right-hand edge of the laser line.

Before sawing, check if the cutting line is still indicated correctly (see "Adjusting the Laser", page 44). The laser beam, as an example, can misadjust due to vibrations after intensive use.

Hand Positioning

(see figure Q)

Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the rotating saw blade.

Do not cross your arms when operating the tool arm.

Maximum Workpiece Dimensions

Mitre/Bevel Angle		Height x Width [mm]
Horizon-tal	Vertical	at max. height	at max. width
90°	90°	80 x 125	60 x 140
45°	90°	80 x 90	60 x 100
90°	45°	45 x 125	45 x 140

Cutting Off

• Firmly clamp the workpiece as appropriate for its dimensions.
• Adjust the requested horizontal and/or vertical metre/bevel angle.
• Switch on the machine.
• Press button 1 and guide the tool arm slowly downward with handle 2.
• Saw through the workpiece applying uniform feed.
• Switch off the machine and wait until the saw blade has come to a complete stop.
• Guide the tool arm slowly upward.

Sawing Workpieces of the Same Length

(see figure R)

The length stop 38 can be used for easily sawing workpieces to the same length.

• Loosen wing nut 56 and position the length stop to the requested distance to the saw blade.
• Tighten the wing nut again.
• Position the workpiece against the stop. Check again with the cutting line marked by the laser if the length stop is positioned correctly.
• Now saw this and the additional workpieces to the same length in accordance with the work steps in Section "Cutting Off".

Special Workpieces

When sawing curved or round workpieces, these must be especially secured against slipping. At the cutting line, no gap may exist between workpiece, fence and saw table.

Provide for special fixtures, if required.

Replacing the Insert Plate

(see figure S)

The red insert plate 9 can become worn after long use of the power tool.

Replace defective insert plates.

Bring the power tool into the working position.
- Unscrew the screws 57 using the provided Phillips screwdriver and remove the old insert plate.
- Insert the new insert plate and and screw all screws 57 in again.

Sawing Profile Strips/Mouldings (Floor and Ceiling Strips)

Profile strips/mouldings can be sawn in two different ways:

• Placed against the fence
• Lying flat on the saw table.

Always make trial cuts with the mitre angle setting first on scrap wood.
