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.
Service
Tool repair must be performed only by qualified repair
personnel. Repairs or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
When repairing a tool, use only identical replacement
parts. Follow instructions in the maintenance section
of this manual. The use of unauthorised parts or failure to
follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock
or injury.
Specific safety rules for dual-bevel
slide mitre saws
Provide for adequate room lighting at your workplace or for
adequate lighting of the immediate work area.
If the mains cable is damaged or cut through while working,
do not touch the cable but pull the mains plug immediately.
Never use the machine with a damaged cable.
Wear protective glasses and hearing protection.
Dust is generated while working that can be detrimental to
health, inflammable or explosive. Suitable protective
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 cable that is
approved for outdoor use.
Always lead the cable to the rear away from the machine.
Before using, mount the electro#tool on a flat and stabile
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 approved by
the manufacturer.
Ensure that during operation, the swinging guard functions
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
ENGLISH

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.
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 handle
when the cutting tool used could come in contact with
hidden wiring or its own mains cable. Contact with voltage
carrying wiring can place the metal parts of the machine
also under voltage and lead to an electrical 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. Do not saw wood containing nails, screws, etc.
If the saw blade becomes blocked, switch off the electro-
tool immediately a nd p ull th e mains plug. Only then
remove the wedged work piece.
Do not ram th e saw blade with force into t h e work piece or
apply t oo much pressure wh en using the electro-tool.
Especially avoid catching the saw blade when working on
corners, edges, etc.
Avoid overloading the motor especially when working with
large work pieces. Apply only light pressure to the handle
when sawing.
For machine models with saw blade brakes: When the
electro-tool is switched off, the braking of the saw blade
causes a downward movement of the tool arm.
Take this reaction force into consideration when switching
off the electro#tool in the upper position.
Caution! The saw blade continues to run after the electro-
tool is switched off.
