If the cut-off piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower
guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.
•
Do not use another person as a substitute for a
table extension or as additional support Unstable
support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or
the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling
you and the helper into the spinning blade.
•
The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed
by any means against the spinning saw blade If
confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could
get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.
•
Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to
properly support round material such as rods or
tubing Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut,
causing the blade to "bite" and pull the work with your
hand into the blade.
•
Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the
workpiece This will reduce the risk of the workpiece
being thrown.
•
If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn
the mitre saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop
and disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack. Then work to free
the jammed material Continued sawing with a jammed
workpiece could cause loss of control or damage to the
mitre saw.
•
After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the
saw head down and wait for the blade to stop before
removing the cut-off piece Reaching with your hand
near the coasting blade is dangerous.
•
Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete
cut or when releasing the switch before the saw
head is completely in the down position The
braking action of the saw may cause the saw head to be
suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Inrush currents cause short-time voltage drops; under
•
unfavourable power supply conditions, other equipment
may be affected (if the system impedance of the power
supply is lower than 0.33 Ohm, disturbances are unlikely
to occur); if you need further clarification, you may
contact your local power supply authority
GENERAL
•
Only use the tool for cutting wood
•
Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the
voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool
•
Do not stand on tool or its stand Serious injury
may occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
accidentally contacted. Do not store materials on or near
the tool such that it is necessary to stand on the tool or its
stand to reach them.
•
Always disconnect plug from power source before
making any adjustment or changing any accessory
•
Always disconnect plug from power source before
transporting the mitre saw Unplug, lower head
assembly and lock into position, use the carry handle
and one of the hand indentations in the saw base.
•
Do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop
•
When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan
your work so it will not slip and pinch the blade and
be torn from your hand
•
This tool should not be used by people under the age of
16 years
•
This tool is not suitable for wet cutting
OUTDOOR USE
•
When used outdoors, connect the tool via a fault
current (FI) circuit breaker with a triggering current
of 30 mA maximum, and only use an extension cord
which is intended for outdoor use and equipped with a
splashproof coupling-socket
BEFORE USE
•
Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a
capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps)
•
Wear protective glasses, hearing protection, and
protective gloves
•
Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some
wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful
(contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic
reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or
bystanders); wear a dust mask and work with a dust
extraction device when connectable
•
Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic
(such as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunction
with additives for wood conditioning; wear a dust
mask and work with a dust extraction device when
connectable
•
Follow the dust-related national requirements for the
materials you want to work with
•
Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos
is considered carcinogenic)
•
Never use the tool without the original protection guard
system
•
Check the protective guard for proper closing before
each use
•
Do not operate the saw if the protective guard does not
move freely and close instantly
•
Never clamp or tie the protective guard into the open
position
•
Never use the tool without the table insert; replace a
defective or worn table insert
•
Remove all obstacles on top of as well as underneath the
cutting path before you start cutting
•
Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and
other elements in your workpiece; remove them before
you start working
ACCESSORIES
•
Never use grinding/cutting discs with this tool
•
SKIL can assure flawless functioning of the tool only
when the correct accessories are used which can be
obtained from your SKIL dealer
•
For mounting/using non-SKIL accessories observe the
instructions of the manufacturer concerned
•
Use only saw blades that correspond with the
characteristic data given in these operation instructions
and that are tested and marked in accordance with EN
847-1
•
Use only accessories with an allowable speed matching
at least the highest no-load speed of the tool
•
Never use saw blades made of high speed steel (HSS)
•
Do not use a saw blade which is cracked, deformed or
dull
Only use saw blades with a hole diameter which fits the
•
tool spindle without play; never use reducors or adaptors
to fit large-hole saw blades
•
Protect accessories from impact, shock and grease
DURING USE
•
Do not force the tool (apply light and continuous
pressure in order to avoid overheating the blade tips and,
in case of cutting plastics, melting the plastic material)
•
Keep fingers, hands and arms away from the rotating
saw blade
