Do not make changes to the electro tool or use it
for purposes other that those described in the
"Intended Use" Section. Any modification is a mis
use and can lead to serious injuries.
Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that
may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous
when used on another tool.
Provide for adequate room lighting at your workplace
or for adequate lighting of the immediate work area.
If the power cable is damaged or cut through while
working, do not touch the cable but pull the power
plug immediately. Never use the machine with a dam
aged cable.
Wear protective glasses and hearing protection.
Dust is generated while working that can be detrimen
tal to health, inflammable or explosive. Suitable protec
tive measure are required.
For example: Some types of dust are considered to be
carcinogenic. Use suitable dust vacuuming and wear
a dust protection mask.
Connect machines that are used outdoors by means
of a fault current circuit breaker (FI) with a maximum
triggering current of 30 mA. Use only an extension ca
ble that is approved for outdoor use.
Always lead the cable to the rear away from the ma
chine.
Before using, mount the electro tool on a flat and sta
bile work surface, e.g., workbench.
Never stand on the electro tool. Serious injuries could
occur when the electro tool tips over or when coming
in contact with the saw blade.
Saw only materials for which the electro tool is ap
proved by the manufacturer.
Ensure that during operation, the swinging guard func
tions properly. It must move freely and be able to
close by itself. It should never be jammed in the open
position.
Put the electro tool in operation only when the working
surface is free of all adjustment tools, wood chips, etc.
and only the piece to be worked is present. Small
pieces of wood or other objects that come in contact
with the rotating saw blade can strike the operator with
high speed.

2 SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

FOR COMPOUND MITER SAWS
Always firmly clamp the piece to be worked. The free
ends of long work pieces must be supported. Do not
work with pieces that are to small to clamp.
Never allow another person to hold or support the
work piece while working. Always use a suitable saw
table extension or a work piece attachment.
Do not work with material containing asbestos.
Take hold of the electric tool only by the insulated han
dle when the cutting tool used could come in contact
with hidden wiring or its own power cable. Contact
with voltage carrying wiring can place the metal parts
of the machine also under voltage and lead to an elec
trical shock.
The saw blade must have reached its full rotational
speed before advancing to the work piece.
Keep fingers, hands and arms away from the rotating
saw blade.
Do not reach behind the fence in the area of the saw
blade to hold the work piece, to remove chips or for
any other reason. The distance from your hand to the
rotating saw blade is in this case too small.
Always saw only a single work piece. Work pieces
place one on the other or next to each other cannot be
properly clamped and can cause saw blade blockage
or slip with respect to each other during sawing.
The cutting path must be free from obstacles above
and below.
screws, etc.
If the saw blade becomes blocked, switch off the elec
tro tool immediately and pull the power plug. Only
then remove the wedged work piece.
Do not ram the saw blade with force into the work
piece or apply too much pressure when using the
electro tool. Especially avoid catching the saw blade
when working on corners, edges, etc.
