Safety information

General power tool safety warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and speciﬁcations provided with this power tool. 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.

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 atmos-pheres, 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 op-erating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

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 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 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.

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 medica-tion. 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 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 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 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 ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

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 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 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 chil-dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to oper-ate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may aﬀect 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 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, tak-ing 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 con-trol of the tool in unexpected situations.

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.

Safety instructions for mitre saws

a) Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like products and cold metal when they are set at diﬀerent running speed. 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 in-creased 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, 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 workpiece 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 work-piece 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. 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 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 proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be obvi-ous 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. Al-ways 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 ob-jects that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with high speed.
i) Cut only 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 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 cutting the fence.
l) Provide adequate support such as table exten-sions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces longer or wider than the mitre saw table can tip if not se-curely supported. If the cut-oﬀ 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. Unsta-ble support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pull-ing you and the helper into the spinning 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 violently.
o) 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.
p) Let the blade reach full speed before contact-ing the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the work-piece being thrown.
q) 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 work to free the jammed material. Continued sawing 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 before 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 posi-tion. The braking action of the saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury. (only applies to saws with braking systems)

Safety Instructions for the handling of saw blades

Do not use damaged or deformed saw blades.
Do not use any insertion tools with cracks. Sort out cracked insertion tools. Repairs are not permitted.

Residual risks
The machine has been built according to the state of the art and the recognised technical safety requirements. However, individual residual risks can arise during operation.

Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use of improper electrical connection cables.
Furthermore, despite all precautions having been met, some non-obvious residual risks may still remain.
Residual risks can be minimised if the „safety instructions“ and the „Proper use“ are observed along with the whole of the operating instructions.
Do not load the machine unnecessarily: excessive pressure when sawing will quickly damage the saw blade, which results in reduced output of the machine in the processing and in cut precision.
When cutting plastic material, please always use clamps: the parts which should be cut must always be ﬁxed between the clamps.
Avoid accidental starting of the machine: the operating button may not be pressed when inserting the plug in an outlet.
Use the tool that is recommended in this manual. In doing so, your machine provides optimal performance.
Hands may never enter the processing zone when the machine is in operation.
Release the handle button and switch oﬀ the machine prior to any operations.
