Additional Safety Rules for Table Top Mitre Saws
• Never use the saw without the guards in position, especially after a mode change. Ensure the
guards are in good working order and properly maintained.
• Before work, ensure the machine is placed on an even surface with sufficient stability and all
guards are in correct position.
• Never cut light alloy. The machine is not designed for this application.
• Do not use abrasive or diamond discs.
• Never use saw blades which are damaged or deformed.
• Do not use saw blades manufactured from high speed steel (HSS).
• Wear suitable gloves when handling saw blade and rough materials. Recommendation: Saw
blades should be carried and stored in a holder whenever practicable.
• In case of an accident or machine failure immediately switch the machine off and pull
the plug.
Report the failure and mark the machine in suitable form which prevents that other persons
use the defective machine.
• When the saw blade is blocked due to abnormal feed force while cutting, switch the machine
off and disconnect from the power supply. Remove the workpiece and ensure that the saw
blade runs free. Turn machine back on and start a new cutting operation with reduced
feed force.
• Ensure that your body position is always to the left or right of the cutting line.
• Always provide adequate general or localized lighting.
• Switch the machine off when unattended.
• Ensure the operator is adequately trained in use, adjustment and operation of the machine.
• Connect the saw to a dust collection when sawing wood. Always consider factors influencing
exposure of dust such as:
- Type of material to be machined (Chip board produces more dust than wood)
- Correct adjustment of saw blade
• Ensure that the local extraction as well as hoods, baffles and chutes are
properly adjusted.
• Dust extractor with air velocity not less than 20 m/s.
• This machine is of Class I construction; therefore earthed (grounded) connection is required.
• Do not force the tool. The tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was intended.
• Use the appropriate tool. The intended use is described in this instruction manual. Do not
force small tools or attachments to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Do not use tools for
purposes not intended.
• Keep the blade sharp.
• The max. allowable speed of the saw blade must always be equal to or greater than the
no-load speed of the tool specified on the nameplate.
• Do not use any spacers or spindle rings to make a blade fit onto the spindle.
• Do not use the saw for cutting any material other than wood and plastics.
• Always keep the floor area free of loose material as chips and cut-offs.
• For your own safety mount the tool to a bench or the like using bolts with a diameter of 6 mm
and 80 mm in length.
Additional Safety Rules for Sawing in Table Saw Mode
• Never cut when riving knife and/or top guard are removed or adjusted incorrectly.

WARNING! The design does not allow the use as bench saw as long as the U-shaped
guard 18 is not mounted (Fig. I2).
• Always use the push stick. Never cut workpiece smaller than 30 mm.
• Without additional support the machine is designed to accept the maximum workpiece size
of:
- Height 50 mm by width 400 mm by length 500 mm.
- Greater workpiece needs to be supported by suitable additional table.
• Always adjust the sliding fence correctly to avoid contact with the lower guard.
• The riving knife shall not be thicker than the width of the groove cut by the saw blade and not
thinner than the body of the saw blade.
• Ensure that the table is securely fixed at the chosen height.
• Always keep the push stick 58 in its place when not in use (Fig. A2).
• Replace the table insert when worn.
• Slotting, rebating or grooving is not allowed.
• During transportation make sure that the upper part of the saw blade is covered by the guard
or the saw blade is adjusted to the lowest position.
• Do not use the guard for handling or transportation.
• Do not remove the saw bench table when adjusting the riving knife.
• Ensure that the saw head arm is securely fixed when sawing in bench mode. Only use the
machine when the saw bench table is in the horizontal position.
Mitre Saw Mode
• Ensure that the upper portion of the saw blade is completely enclosed in the mitre sawing
mode. Never remove the upper blade guard when using the machine in mitre saw mode.
• Never cut workpiece shorter than 150 mm.
• Without additional support the machine is designed to accept the maximum workpiece size
of:
- Height 40 mm by width 140 mm by length 400 mm
- Longer workpieces need to be supported by suitable additional table.
• Always clamp the workpiece safely to the saw table.
• When performing vertical straight cross-cuts, adjust the sliding fence correctly to ensure a
clearance of max. 5 mm between the saw blade and the fence (Fig. O).
• When performing mitre, bevel or compound mitre cuts, adjust the sliding fence to ensure the
correct clearance for the application (Fig. P).
• Ensure that the arm is securely fixed when beveling.
• Ensure that the upper portion of the saw blade is completely enclosed in the mitre
sawing mode.
• Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other parts of the workpiece from the cutting area while
the saw is running and the saw head is not in the rest position.

WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current device with a residual current
rating of 30mA or less.
