While operating
Keep third parties away from the power tool's
area of operation. Never work while animals or
people, especially children, are in the danger zone.
Keep the work area clean, organized and well lit (250 to
300 lux light), thus decreasing the risk of accidents.
Always wear personal protective equipment and
clothing. Wearing a visor or goggles, dust mask, hearing
protection, anti-slip safety shoes, long-sleeved clothing,
gloves and helmet properly reduces the risk of injury.
Clothing worn during the appliance operation must be
adequate, tight and closed, for example, a work boiler
suit. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair,
clothing and gloves away from rotating parts.
The following precautions and procedures should also
be followed to avoid accidents:
▪ Always keep the base firmly secured to a workbench,
by tightening the bolts;
▪ To avoid displacements or projections use clamping
devices to ensure a safe performance; Place/keep the
workpiece in a correct and stable position;
▪ Always fit the blade guard in place and in good
working condition. The blade guard should move
freely and close instantly. Never operate the power
tool without the blade guard installed;
▪ In case the saw blade gets stuck, immediately release
the trigger switch and reduce the pressure applied on
the handle;
▪ When using the sliding miter saw, adopt a stable
position and always keep your balance. Hold the
power tool firmly to ensure continuous operation
and withstand unexpected situations;
▪ The saw blade may become too hot while cutting.
Avoid touching it, it can cause severe burns;
▪ Do not look directly at the laser beam for a long time;
▪ Make sure that the ventilation slots are not clogged.
Do not place any objects over the ventilation slots;
▪ Avoid using the power tool on wood coated with
paint containing lead or other materials that are
harmful to health. There are certain types of powder
(oak and beech) which are classified as carcinogenic
substances when they have additives for wood
preservation. Any contact or inhalation of dust may
cause allergic reactions and/or breathing disorders.
