SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
pressed against the rotating disc. If the chip is
attached, such as stops, it may jam against the
disc and be thrown off sharply.
• Always fasten round materials such as rods
and tubes. The bars tend to rotate during cut-
ting, which causes the disc to "bite" and pull
your hand and the workpiece under the disc.
• Allow the disc to reach full rotation speed be-
fore cutting the workpiece. This will help re-
duce the risk of the workpiece being dropped.
• If the workpiece or disc jams, switch off the
miter saw. Wait for all moving parts to stop,
pull the plug out of the socket and/or remove
the battery. Only then remove the jammed
material. If you continue to cut through the
jammed workpiece, you could lose control of
the machine or damage the miter saw.
• When you have finished cutting, release the
switch, hold the saw head down and wait for
the disc to stop. Only then remove the clip.
Approaching the running disc with your hand
is very dangerous.
• Keep your workplace clean. Mixtures of mate-
rials are particularly harmful. Light metal dust
may burn or explode.
• Do not use any blunt, cracked, bent or dam-
aged saw discs. Saw discs with blunt or mis-
aligned teeth cause increased friction, pinch-
ing of the saw disc and kickback due to the
narrow cut gap.
• Do not use any high-alloy high-speed steel
(HSS) saw discs. Such saw discs can break eas-
ily.
• Always use saw discs of the correct size and
with a suitable clamping hole (e.g. diamond
or circular). Saw discs that do not match the
saw's mounting parts do not run centred and
lead to a loss of control.
• Never remove cutting residues, wood chips,
etc. from the cutting area while the power tool
is running. First, bring the tool arm to rest and
turn off the power tool.
• Never touch the saw disc before it has cooled
down. The saw disc is very hot during oper-
ation.
