Without turning the machine "ON" and with no
workpiece on the table, move the saw blade
through a complete simulated cut to assure there
will be no interference or danger of cutting the
fence.
l) Provide adequate support such as table exten-
sions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is
wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces
that are longer or wider than the table of the chop
and mitre saw can tip if they are not properly sup-
ported. If the cut-off piece or workpiece tips, it can
lift the lower protective cover or be thrown by the
spinning blade.
m) Do not use another person as a substitute for
a table extension or as additional support.
Unstable support of the workpiece can lead to
the blade becoming jammed. Also, the workpiece
could shift during the cutting process, pulling you
or your assistant into the rotating blade.
n) 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.
o) 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 be-
ing cut, causing the blade to "bite" and pull the
work with your hand into the blade.
Let the blade reach full speed before contact-
p)
ing the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the
workpiece being thrown.
q) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed,
turn the mitre saw off. Wait for all moving parts
to stop and disconnect the mains plug from
the power source and/or remove the recharge-
able battery. Then, remove the jammed materi-
al. If you continue sawing with such jamming this
can result in a loss of control or to the chop and
mitre saw being damaged.
After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold
r)
the saw head down and wait for the blade to
stop before removing the cut-off piece. Reach-
ing with your hand near the coasting blade is dan-
gerous.
s) Hold the handle firmly when making an incom-
plete cut or when releasing the switch before
the saw head is completely in the down posi-
tion. The braking action of the saw may cause the
saw head to be suddenly pulled downward, caus-
ing a risk of injury.
Safety instructions for the use of saw blades
1. Do not use damaged or deformed saw blades.
2. Do not use saw blades with cracks. Separate
cracked saw blades. Repairs are not permitted.
3. Do not use saw blades made of high speed steel.
4. Check the condition of the saw blades before us-
ing the chop and slide saw.
5. Make sure that a suitable saw blade for the materi-
al to be cut is selected.
6. Only use saw blades recommended by the man-
ufacturer. Saw blades designed to cut wood and
similar materials must comply with EN 847-1.
7. Do not use saw blades made of high-speed alloy
steel (HSS steel).
8. Only use saw blades for which the maximum per-
missible speed is not lower than the maximum
spindle speed of the chop and slide saw, and
which are suitable for the material to be cut.
9. Observe the direction of rotation of the saw blade.
10. Only use saw blades if you have mastered their use.
11. Observe the maximum speed. The maximum
speed specified on the saw blade may not be ex-
ceeded. If specified, observe the speed range.
12. Clean dirt, grease, oil and water off of the clamping
surfaces.
13. Do not use any loose reducing rings or bushes for
the reducing of holes on saw blades.
14. Make sure that fixed reducer rings for securing the
saw blade have the same diameter and have at
least 1/3 of the cutting diameter.
15. Make sure that fixed reducer rings are parallel to
each other.
16. Handle saw blade with caution. They are ideally
stored in the originally package or special contain-
ers. Wear protective gloves in order to improve
grip and to further reduce the risk of injury.
17. Prior to the use of saw blades, make sure that all
protective devices are properly fastened.
18. Prior to use, ensure that the saw blade meets the
technical requirements of this chop and pull saw,
and is properly fastened.
19. Only use the supplied saw blade for cutting wood,
never for the processing of metals.
20. Use only a saw blade with a diameter that matches
the specifications on the saw.
21. Use additional workpiece supports if this is neces-
sary for the stability of the workpiece.
22. Workpiece support extensions must always be se-
cured and used during work.
23. Replace table inlays when worn!
