• Keep the surrounding area of the machine well maintained and free
of loose materials, e.g. chips and cut-offs.
• Check periodically that the motor air slots are clean and free of chips.
• Replace the kerf plate when worn.
• Disconnect the machine from the mains before carrying out any
maintenance work or when changing the blade.
• Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work when the machine
is still running and the head is not in the rest position.
• When possible, always mount the machine to a bench.
• If you use a laser to indicate the cutting line, make sure that the laser
is of class 2 according to EN 60825-1:2001. Do not replace a laser
diode with a different type. If damaged, have the laser repaired by an
authorised repair agent.
• 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.
• When performing mitre, bevel or compound mitre cuts, adjust the
sliding fence to ensure the correct clearance for the application.
• 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.
Additional safety rules for saw benches
• Do not use saw blades with a body thickness greater or a width of
tooth smaller than the thickness of the riving knife.
• Make sure that the blade rotates in the correct direction and that the
teeth are pointing to the front of the saw bench.
• Be sure all clamp handles are tight before starting any operation.
• Be sure all blade and fl anges are clean and the recessed sides of the
collar are against the blade. Tighten the arbor nut securely.
• Keep the saw blade sharp and properly set.
• Make sure that the riving knife is adjusted to the correct distance
from the blade - maximum 5 mm.
• Never operate the saw without the upper and lower guards in place.
• Keep your hands out of the path of the saw blade.
• Disconnect the saw from the mains supply before changing blades or
carrying out maintenance.
• Use a push stick at all times, and ensure that you do not place hands
closer than 150 mm from the saw blade while cutting.
• Do not attempt to operate on anything but the designated voltage.
• Do not apply lubricants to the blade when it is running.
• Do not reach around behind the saw blade.
• Always keep the push stick in its place when not in use.
• Do not stand on top of the unit.
• During transportation make sure that the upper part of the saw blade
is covered, e.g. by the guard.
• Do not use the guard for handling or transportation.
• Adjust the sliding fence correctly to avoid contact with the lower guard.
• Ensure that the table is securely fi xed.
• Do not use the saw for cutting any material other than wood.
• Slotting, rebating or grooving is not allowed.
Additional safety rules for table top mitre saws
• Do not allow untrained people to operate this machine.
• Whenever you use the machine, report any faults in the machine as
soon as they are discovered.
This machine is equipped with a specially confi gured power
supply cord (type M attachment). If the power supply cord is
damaged or otherwise defective, it must only be replaced by
the manufacturer or by an authorized repair agent.
• For your own safety, always secure the machine to a workbench or
a suitable chipboard plate with the minimum dimensions of
1000 x 1000 x 22 mm. Use fasteners of 5 mm bolts or larger with
a suitable length.

• Ensure that bystanders do not stand behind the machine.
• When the saw blade is jammed in the workpiece, always switch off
the machine before removing the workpiece.
• 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.
• Ensure that the arm is securely fi xed when sawing in the bench saw
mode.
• Make sure that the upper and lower guard are in place in the bench
saw mode. Only use the machine when the saw bench table is in
horizontal position.
Residual risks
The following risks are inherent to the use of saws:
- injuries caused by touching the rotating parts
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the
implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks cannot be
avoided. These are:
- Impairment of hearing.
- Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the rotating saw
blade.
- Risk of injury when changing the blade.
- Risk of squeezing fi ngers when opening the guards.
- Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when sawing
wood, especially oak, beech and MDF.
- Risk of injury caused by parts of the workpiece hurled at bystanders.
- Risk of accidents caused by fl ying metal particles when cutting into
the fence.
- Fire hazard due to extreme dust concentration when not cleaned
regularly.
- Risk of uncontrolled situations when used in ambient temperatures
below -10 °C or above +45 °C.
The following factors are of infl uence to noise production:
- the material to be cut
- the type of saw blade
- the feed force
The following factors are of infl uence to dust exposure:
- worn saw blade
- dust extractor with air velocity less than 20 m/s
- workpiece not exactly guided
Labels on tool
The following pictograms are shown on the tool:
Safe use warning
Read the instruction manual before use
When using the machine in the mitre saw mode, make sure
that the upper part of the saw blade is fully covered by the
upper saw blade guard. Only use the machine when the
bench saw table is in highest position.
When using the machine in the bench saw mode, make sure
that the upper and lower guards are in place and functioning
properly. Only use the machine when the bench saw table is
in horizontal position.
When making a sliding cut in mitre saw mode, observe the
instructions as provided under "Performing a sliding cut".
