instruction manual and understand the risks and
hazards.
The slide compound mitre saw is designed to be
fixed at the base to a solid bench top. If the base is
not securely fixed, the whole machine may move
during cutting operations, which increases the possi-
bility of serious personal injury.
Stock having a round or irregular cross section
(such as firewood) must not be cut, as it can not be
securely held during cutting.
Please observe that the cutting of bevels/wedges
and complex covered cutting procedures are not
permitted.
The slide compound mitre saw is designed make be-
vel and mitre cuts. The capacities for the various cuts
are provided in the technical data in this manual.
The slide compound mitre saw is to be used in dry
conditions, with excellent ambient lighting and
adequate ventilation.
The slide compound mitre saw is intended for consu-
mer use and should only be used as described above
and is not intended for any other purpose.
Requirements for operating staff
The operating staff must carefully read the
Operating Instructions before using the appliance.
Since the use of the device if handled incorrectly
can entail considerable risks, only knowledgeable
persons may be entrusted with the use of it.
The operator must be appropriately trained in
setting up, operating and using the machine.
Qualification: Apart from the detailed
instructions by a professional, no special
qualification is necessary for appliance using.
Minimum age: Persons over 16 years of age
can only work on the appliance. An exception
includes youngsters trained in order to
reach knowledge under supervision of the trainer
during occupational education.
Training: Using the appliance only requires
corresponding training by a professional or the
Operating Instructions. No special training is
necessary. The operator is responsible for accidents
or risks to third parties.

Residual Risk

Despite the observance of the operating instructions
there still may be some hidden residual risks.
Even when the slide compound mitre saw is used
as prescribed, it is still impossible to completely
eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise and the operator should pay
special attention to avoid the following:
• Risk of contact with uncovered parts of the rota-
ting saw blade.
• Kick-back of work pieces or parts of work pieces
due to improper adjustment or handling.
• Catapulting of faulty carbide tips from the saw
blade.
• Damage to the respiratory system.
NOTE: Wear respiratory protection masks
containing filters appropriate to the materials
being worked.
Ensure adequate workplace ventilation. Do not
eat, drink or smoke in the work area.
Damage to hearing if effective hearing protec-
tion is not worn.
Warning
Dust from certain paintsm coatings and mate-
rials maycause irritation or allergic reactions to
the respiratory system. Dust from wood such as
oak, beech, MDF and others are carcinogenic.
Material containing asbestos should only ever
be worked or processed by qualified specialist
operators.
Warning
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by
prolonged use of a tool. When using any tool
for prolonged periods, ensure you take regular
breaks.

Emergency procedure

Conduct a first-aid procedure adequate to the injury
and summon qualified medical attendance as quickly
as possible. Protect the injured person from further
harm and calm them down.
If you seek help, state the following pieces of infor-
mation
1. Accident site,
2. Accident type,
3. Number of injured persons,
4. Injury type(s)

Mains Connection

Connect only to single-phase AC system voltage as
indicated on the rating plate. It is also possible to
connect to sockets without an earthing contact as
the design conforms to safety class II.
Appliances used at many different locations inclu-
ding wet room and open air must be connected via
a residual current device (FI, RCD, PRCD) of 30mA or
less.
Only plug-in when machine is switched off.
Keep mains lead clear from working range of the
machine. Always lead the cable away behind you.
Before use check machine, cable, and plug for any
damages or material fatigue. Repairs should only be
carried out by authorised Service Agents.
A power spike causes voltage fluctuations and may
affect other electrical products in the same power
line. Connect the product to a power supply with an
impedance equal to 0.233 Ω to minimize voltage
fluctuations.
Contact your electric power supplier for further
clarification.
