While operating power tools, you should take into
account basic safety precautions to avoid the risk
of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
Always
read
maintenance instructions before you start using
your power tool. Keep the instruction manual for future
reference.
General
It is your responsibility to follow these preventive
measures in order to ensure your own safety. Always
operate the sliding miter saw carefully and responsibly.
In using the appliance, you accept full responsibility for
any accidents caused to third parties or their goods
during its use.
The power tool may only be used by people who have
read the instruction manual and are familiar with its
handling. Before operating the sliding miter saw for the
first time, users should be instructed by the seller or any
other qualified person on how to use it. Users must
ensure they are instructed adequately and practically.
The instruction manual is considered an integral part of
the sliding miter saw and must always be made
available alongside the product.
Familiarize yourself with the control devices and use of
the power tool. In particular, the user must know how
to quickly stop the appliance.
Stay alert and use common sense while operating a
power tool. A moment of inattention can result in
serious injury.
Do not use the sliding miter saw if you are not both
physically and mentally well. Do not operate it while you
are tired or under the influence of medication, drugs or
alcohol. If you have a health problem, ask your doctor if
it is safe for you to use the sliding miter saw before
doing so.

children, individuals with limited physical, sensory or
mental abilities, individuals with lack of experience and

the
safety,
operating
The sliding miter saw may only be used as stated
in this instruction manual. Any other use, which
may be dangerous and may cause injury to the user or
damage to the power tool, is not permitted.
Do not overload the power tool and use appropriate
and
work tools. The use of the power tool for purposes
other than those intended and the improper use of
accessories can result in hazardous situations.
For safety reasons, any alteration to the sliding miter
saw other than installing blades specifically authorized
by the manufacturer, is prohibited. The warranty on
your sliding miter saw will be voided if you alter it in any
way.
You may get information on authorized blades from
your official VITO dealer.
Electrical safety instructions
The power tool has double insulation, which
means that all external metal parts are insulated
from the electrical components. Therefore, in
accordance with EN 60745 standard, no grounding is
required. However, double insulation does not replace
normal safety precautions, which must be observed
when using the power tool.
Only hold the power tool by its insulated surfaces,
which prevent electric shock if the power tool comes
into contact with hidden wires or power cord during
operation.
Do not use power tools in explosive environments,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks that can ignite
liquids, gases, or dust.
The supply voltage must match the technical
specifications of the power tool. Keep the voltage
between ± 5% of the rated value. Do not operate the
power tool in places where the supply voltage is not
stable.
The power cord must be plugged into a socket with
differential protection and grounding.
