PRECAUTIONS ON USING SLIDE
COMPOUND MITER SAW
1. Keep the fl oor area around the machine level. Well
maintained and free of loose materials e.g. chips and
cut-off s.
2. Provide adequate general or localized lighting.
3. Do not use power tools for applications other than those
specifi ed in the handling instructions.
4. Repairing must be done only by authorized service
facility. Manufacturer is not responsible for any damages
and injuries due to the repair by the unauthorized
persons as well as the mishandling of the tool.
5. To ensure the designed operational integrity of power
tools, do not remove installed covers or screws.
6. Do not touch movable parts or accessories unless the
power source has been disconnected.
7. Use your tool at lower input than specifi ed on the
nameplate; otherwise, the fi nish may be spoiled and
working effi ciency reduced due to motor overload.
8. Do not wipe plastic parts with solvent. Solvents such as
gasoline, thinner, benzine, carbon tetrachloride, alcohol,
may damage and crack plastic parts. Do not wipe them
with such solvent. Clean plastic parts with a soft cloth
lightly dampened with soapy water.
9. Use only original HiKOKI replacement parts.
10. This tool should only be disassembled for replacement
of carbon brushes.
11. The exploded assembly drawing on this handling
instructions should be used only for authorized service
facility.
12. Never cut ferrous metals or masonry.
13. Adequate general or localized lighting is provided.
Stock and fi nished workpieces are located close to the
operators normal working position.
14. Wear suitable personal protective equipment when
necessary, this could include:
Hearing protection to reduce the risk of induced hearing
loss.
Eye protection to reduce the risk of injuring an eye.
Respiratory protection to reduce the risk of inhalation of
harmful dust.
Gloves for handling saw blades (saw blades shall be
carried in a holder wherever practicable) and rough
material.
15. The operator is adequately trained in the use, adjustment
and operation of the machine.
16. Refrain from removing any cut-off s or other parts of the
workpiece from the cutting area whilst the machine is
running and the saw head is not in the rest position.
17. Never use the slide compound miter saw with its lower
guard locked in the open position.
18. Ensure that the lower guard moves smoothly.
19. Do not use the saw without guards in position, in good
working order and properly maintained.
20. Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe the
maximum speed marked on the saw blade.
21. Do not use saw blades which are damaged or deformed.
22. Do not use saw blades manufactured from high speed
steel.
23. Use only saw blades recommended by HiKOKI.
Use of saw blade comply with EN847-1.
24. The saw blades should be from 210 mm to 216 mm
external diameter ranges.
25. Select the correct saw blade for the material to be cut.
26. Never operate the slide compound miter saw with the
saw blade turned upward or to the side.
27. Ensure that the workpiece is free of foreign matter such
as nails.
28. Replace the table insert when worn.
29. Do not use the saw to cut other than aluminium, wood or
similar materials.
30. Do not use the saw to cut other materials than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
31. Blade replacement procedure, including the method for
repositioning and a warning that this must be carried out
correctly.
32. Connect the slide compound miter saw to a dust
collecting device when sawing wood.
33. Take care when slotting.
34. When transporting or carrying the tool, do not grasp the
holder. Grasp the handle instead of the holder.
35. There is the danger of the holder slipping out of the base.
Grasp the handle instead of the holder.
36. Start cutting only after motor revolution reaches
maximum speed.
37. Promptly cut OFF the switch when abnormality observed.
38. Shut off power and wait for saw blade to stop before
servicing or adjusting tool.
39. During a miter or bevel cut the blade should not be lifted
until it has stopped rotation completely.
40. During slide cutting operation, the saw must be pushed
and slided away from the operator.
41. Take all the possibility of residual risks in cutting
operation into your consideration, such as the laser
radiation to your eyes, the inadvertent access to moving
parts on slide mechanical parts on machine and so on.
42. Ensure before each cut that the machine is stable.
Use only saw blades whose maximum permitted speed
is higher than the no-load speed of the power tool.
Do not replace the laser with a diff erent type.
43. Do not stand in a line with the saw blade In front of the
machine. Always stand aside of the saw blade. This
protects your body against possible kickback. Keep
hands, fi ngers and arms away from the rotating saw
blade.
Do not cross your arms when operating the tool arm.
44. If the saw blade should become jammed, switch the
machine off and hold the workpiece until the saw blade
comes to a complete stop. To prevent kickback, the
workpiece may not be moved until after the machine has
come to a complete stop.
Correct the cause for the jamming of the saw blade
before restarting the machine.
