Handles and gripping surfaces must be dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and gripping surfaces do
not allow for safe operation and control of the tool in dangerous situations.
Repairs
Repair the power tool only in authorized facilities using only original spare parts. This ensures proper operation safety of
the power tool.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITRE SAWS

Mitre saws are intended for cutting wood and wood-like materials and may not be used with grinding wheels for cutting
iron materials such as bars, rods, posts, etc. The dust generated by the grinding wheel causes jamming of moving parts, such
as the lower part of the blade guard. Sparks from cutting with a grinding wheel will burn the lower part of the blade guard, the work
table insert and other plastic parts.
Use clamps to fi x the workpiece whenever possible. If the workpiece is hand-held, always keep the hands at a distance of
least 100 mm from the circular saw on each side. Do not use this saw to cut workpieces which are too small to be secure-
ly fi xed or hand-held. If your hand is too close to the circular saw, the risk of injury from contact with the circular saw increases.
The workpiece must be stationary and fi xed or held by both the retaining plate and the work table. Under no circumstances
should the workpiece be fed or cut "freehand". An unfi xed or moving workpiece can be ejected at high speed, causing injury.
Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the saw through the workpiece. To carry out the cut, lift the saw head
and pull it over the workpiece without cutting, start the motor, lower the head and push the saw through the workpiece.
Cutting while pulling the saw is likely to cause the saw blade to escape to the top of the workpiece and suddenly eject the blade
assembly in the direction of the operator.
Never cross your hands with the intended cutting line or at the front or back of the circular saw. It is very dangerous to
hold the workpiece by "crossing your hand", e.g. to hold the workpiece on the right side of the circular saw with your left hand or
vice versa.
Never reach behind the retaining plate, allowing either hand closer than 100 mm from either side of the circular saw,
in order to remove residual wood or for any other reason while the circular saw is spinning. The distance of the spinning
circular saw from your hand may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.
Inspect the workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is curved or rolled up, fi x it so that the outer curved surface faces
the retaining plate. Always make sure there is no gap between the workpiece, the retaining plate and the work table along
the cutting line. Bent or curved workpieces may twist or shift and may cause the clamping of the saw blade during cutting. The
workpiece should not contain nails or foreign objects.
Do not use the saw until the work table has been cleaned of all tools, wood trimmings, etc. except for the workpiece. Small
chips or loose pieces of wood or other objects which come into contact with a spinning circular saw can be ejected at high speed.
Cut only one workpiece at a time. Many workpieces arranged in layers cannot be properly secured or clasped and may jam the
circular saw or move during operation.
Before use, make sure that the mitre saw is fi xed or placed on a level, hard work surface. A level and hard work surface
reduces the risk of the mitre saw becoming unstable.
Plan your work. Whenever you change the bevel or bevel angle, make sure that the adjustable retaining plate is set cor-
rectly to support the workpiece and will not come into contact with the circular saw or guard system. Without switching
the tool on and without the workpiece on the table, move the circular saw in a full cut simulation to make sure there is no contact
with or danger of cutting the retaining plate.
Use appropriate support such as table extensions, work stands, etc., if the workpiece is wider or longer than the top of
the work table. Material which is longer or wider than the mitre saw's work table can tilt if it is not securely fastened. If the cut part
or the workpiece tilts, it can lift the lower circular saw guard or be ejected by the spinning rotating blade.
Do not use another person as a replacement for work table extensions or as an additional support. An unstable support of
the workpiece can cause jamming of the circular saw or movement of the workpiece during cutting, pulling you and the assistant
towards the spinning blade.
The workpiece must not be cut or pressed against the spinning circular saw using other means. When squeezed e.g. by
means of length stops, the workpiece can be wedged by the blade and ejected rapidly.
Always use clamps or accessories designed to hold round workpieces such as rods or pipes. Rods tend to rotate during
cutting, causing the blade to "bite" and pull the workpiece together with your hands towards the blade.
Allow the blade to reach its full speed before applying the workpiece to it. This reduces the risk of ejection of the workpiece.
If the workpiece or blade gets jammed, turn off the saw. Wait until all moving parts have come to a standstill, then discon-
nect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery. Only then can you take care of unjamming the workpiece.
Continuing to cut with a jammed workpiece may result in loss of control or damage to the saw.
After cutting, release the switch, hold the cutting head down and wait for the blade to stop before removing the work-
piece. It is dangerous to reach into the vicinity of the spinning blade.
Hold the handle fi rmly when plunge-cutting or releasing the switch before the cutting head is fully lowered. Attempting the
stop the cutting head can cause it to be pulled downwards rapidly, creating the risk of injury.
