top of the workpiece and violently throw the blade
assembly towards the operator.
Never cross your hand over the intended line
e)
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 dan-
gerous.
Do not reach behind the fence with either
f)
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 obvious and you may be seri-
ously injured.
Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the
g)
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.
Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all
h)
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.
Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked mul-
i)
tiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped
or braced and may bind on the blade or shift dur-
ing cutting.
Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on
j)
a level, firm work surface before use. A level
and firm work surface reduces the risk of the mitre
saw becoming unstable.
Plan your work. Every time you change the
k)
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.
Provide adequate support such as table ex-
l)
tensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece
that is wider or longer than the table top.
Workpieces longer or wider than the mitre saw ta-
ble can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-off
piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard
or be thrown by the spinning blade.
Do not use another person as a substitute for
m)
a table extension or as additional support. Un-
stable 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.
The cut-off piece must not be jammed or
n)
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.
Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to
o)
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.
Let the blade reach full speed before contact-
p)
ing the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the
workpiece being thrown.
If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed,
q)
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 control or damage to the mitre saw.
After finishing the cut, release the switch,
r)
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.
Hold the handle firmly when making an incom-
s)
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.
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 per-
mitted.
3 Do not use saw blades made of high speed steel.
4 Check the condition of the saw blades before us-
ing the sliding compound mitre saw.
5 Make sure that a suitable saw blade for the mate-
rial to be cut is selected.
6 Only use saw blades recommended by the manu-
facturer.
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
steel (HSS steel).
8 Only use saw blades for which the maximum per-
missible speed is not lower than the maximum
spindle speed of the sliding compound 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
their use.
11 Observe the maximum speed. The maximum
speed specified on the insertion tool may not be
exceeded. If specified, observe the speed range.
12 Clean grease, oil and water off of the clamping
surfaces.
