•
Choose a suitable saw blade for the work. Use the
mitre saw only for sawing wood and wood
derivatives or light metal such as aluminium. Other
materials can jump away or get caught in the saw
blade or give rise to other dangers.
•
The arrow marked on the saw blade, which indicates
the direction of rotation, must point in the same
direction as the arrow marked on the machine. The
saw blade teeth must point downwards on the front
of the saw.
•
Check that the saw blade is sharp, undamaged and
correctly aligned. After unplugging the machine, push
the saw hood downwards. Rotate the saw blade by
hand and check that it revolves freely. Put the
machine in the 45° position and check free rotation
again. If the blade touches anything it must be
adjusted.
•
Keep the saw blade and the clamping surface for the
clamps clean.
•
The saw blade flange must always be mounted with
the notch tightened towards the saw blade.
•
Check that all tensioning devices and locks are
secure and that no part has too much play in it.
•
Never just use your hands for sawing.
•
Always press the piece of work firmly against the
stop, so that it cannot tilt or turn while sawing. No
impurities must gather underneath the piece of work
being sawn.
•
Make sure that the piece of work cannot move after
being sawn, for example because it is not completely
supported by the surface of the machine.
•
For sawing pieces of work that are not supported by
the full surface, use some padding or another
machine.
•
Replace any worn-out table inserts.
•
Only use saw blades recommended by the
manufacturer (EN-847-1).
•
Never use HS (High Speed) saw blades.
•
Check that the sawn off bits can be removed
sideways from the saw blade, otherwise they can get
caught on the blade and flung about.
•
Never saw more than one piece of work at the same
time.
•
Be extremely careful when sawing large, very small
or awkward pieces of work.
•
Be careful when sawing double mitre joints.
•
Use additional supports (tables, sheer-legs and the
like) for long pieces of work that can tip over and
topple off the machine if they are not properly
secured.
•
Never use the machine to saw pieces of work that
are so small that they cannot be secured safely.
•
When sawing profile sections the work must be
carried out such that the piece of work cannot slide
away and the saw blade cannot become jammed. A
profiled piece of work must lie flat or be held in place
by an attachment so that toppling or sliding during
the work is prevented.
•
Round pieces of work such as tubes must be well
secured, otherwise these can revolve and the danger
exists that the saw blade catches in them. Always
keep the piece of work on the table and against the
stop using a suitable accessory or attachment.
•
Make sure that the piece of work does not have any
nails or other foreign objects in it.

USER SAFETY
•
Make sure you have a clean and tidy working
environment.
•
Make sure the working environment is well lit.
•
The user of the machine must be instructed in the
use, adjustment and operation of the machine.
•
Use a dust mask or dust hood to prevent the
inhalation of (harmful) dust.
•
Wear gloves when you exchange the saw blade or
when rough material is to be sawn. It is best to keep
saw blades in a separate holder to prevent anyone
getting hurt.
•
When the machine is equipped with a laser, this may
not be replaced by a different type of laser. Repairs
may only be carried out by the laser manufacturer or
a recognised specialist.
•
The operator should wear ear protectors to reduce
any damage to hearing.
•
To prevent accidents occurring by the accidental
switching on of the machine, the plug must always be
pulled out of the socket before adjustment of the stop
or the saw head is carried out, when changing blades
or accessories, and when maintaining the machine.
•
To prevent electric shocks, when plugging the plug
into the socket the metal pins must not be touched in
any way whatsoever.
•
Never use the cord to pull the plug out of the socket.
Keep the cord away from oil, heat and sharp objects.
•
Never apply a cleaning or lubrication agent to a saw
blade that is still revolving.
•
To prevent fires, never use the machine in the vicinity
of flammable liquids, vapours or gases.
•
Always use original accessories: others may cause
wounding.
•
Always choose the right saw blade in relation to the
material to be sawn.
TRANSPORTING AND MOVING
•
Check that all locks and tensioning devices are
secure.
•
Do not lift the machine by the extension pieces (for
the stabilisation of the saw), but by the solid
underside of the machine.
WHILE THE MACHINE IS IN USE
With frequent use of the machine, do not let routine lead
to mistakes. Remember that a slight lack of
concentration can lead to serious injuries in a fraction of
a second.
•
Before beginning to saw, make sure that the
protective hood is in the right position.
•
Before cutting the first cut, let the machine run for a
short while. If you hear any unusual sounds or
observe any strong vibration, turn the machine off
and take the plug out of the socket, and then find the
cause of the problem. Do not switch the machine on
again until the cause has been found and the fault
repaired.
•
Make sure that the piece of work being sawn off does
not get stuck in place, do not hold it or clamp it and
no not secure it against the stop. It must be able to
move freely along the side of the saw blade. When
this is not possible the piece of work being sawn can
be trapped by the saw blade and be flung about.
