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.
p)
Let the blade reach full speed before contact-
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 plug from the pow-
er source and/or remove the rechargeable bat-
tery. Then, remove the jammed material. If you
continue sawing with such jamming this can result
in a loss of control or to the chop and mitre saw
being damaged.
r)
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. 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 sliding cross-cut mitre 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 sliding cross-cut mitre 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 sliding cross-cut mi-
tre 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 required for
workpiece stability.
22. Workpiece support extensions must always be se-
cured and used during work.
23. Replace table inlays when worn!
24. Avoid overheating the saw teeth.
25. When sawing plastic, avoid melting of the plastic.
Use the appropriate saw blades for this purpose.
Replace damaged or worn saw blades immediate-
ly. When the saw blade overheats, stop the ma-
chine. Allow the saw blade to cool down before
using the machine again.
