SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The slide compound mitre saw is intended for sawing solid and
bonded wood with or without glued veneer, plastics, and materials
similar to wood.
The slide compound mitre saw is intended to be used only by adult
operators who have read the instruction manual and understand
the risks and hazards.
The slide compound mitre saw is designed to be fixed at the base
to a solid bench top. If the base is not securely fixed, the whole
machine may move during cutting operations, which increases the
possibility of serious personal injury.
The slide compound mitre saw is designed make bevel and mitre
cuts. The capacities for the various cuts are provided in the product
specifications in this manual.
The slide compound mitre saw is to be used in dry conditions, with
excellent ambient lighting and adequate ventilation.
The slide compound mitre saw is intended for consumer use and
should only be used as described above and is not intended for any
other purpose.

RESIDUAL RISK

Even when the slide compound mitre saw is used as prescribed,
it is still impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk
factors. The following hazards may arise and the operator should
pay special attention to avoid the following:
• Risk of contact with uncovered parts of the rotating saw blade.
• Kick-back of work pieces or parts of work pieces due to improper
adjustment or handling.
• Catapulting of faulty carbide tips from the saw blade. Wear Eye
protection at all times.
• Damage to the respiratory system. Wear respiratory protection
masks containing filters appropriate to the materials being wor-
ked. Ensure adequate workplace ventilation. Do not eat, drink or
smoke in the work area.
• Damage to hearing if effective hearing protection is not worn.
WARNING Dust from certain paints, coatings, and materials may
cause irritation or allergic reactions. Dust from wood such as oak,
beech, MDF, and others are carcinogenic. Materials containing
asbestos should only be worked on or processed by qualified
specialist operators.
WARNING Injuries may be caused or aggravated by prolonged use
of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure you
take regular breaks.
BATTERIES
Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be
recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of
the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk
of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully
charged, after use.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack
from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days: Store the battery
pack where the temperature is below 27°C and away from moisture
Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition Every six
months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load
or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery acid wash
it off immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact rinse
thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical
attention.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short
circuit risk).
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or by
burning them. AEG Distributors offer to retrieve old batteries to
protect our environment.
BATTERY AND CHARGER
Compatible battery pack (not included): System GBS
Compatible charger (not included): System GBS
Use only System GBS chargers for charging System GBS battery
packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.

TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES

Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legisla-
tion requirements.
Transportation of those batteries has to be done in accordance with
local, national and international provisions and regulations.
The user can transport the batteries by road without further
requirements.
Commercial transport of Lithium-Ion batteries by third parties is
subject to Dangerous Goods regulations. Transport preparation and
transport are exclusively to be carried out by appropriately trained
persons and the process has to be accompanied by corresponding
experts.
When transporting batteries:
Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected and insulated
to prevent short circuit. Ensure that battery pack is secured against
movement within packaging. Do not transport batteries that are
cracked or leak. Check with forwarding company for further advice
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situa-
tions that cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 5
seconds, the fuel gauge will flash,and then the tool will turn OFF.
To reset, release the trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the
battery pack could raise too much. If this happens, the fuel gauge
will flash until the battery pack cooled down. After the lights go off,
the work may continue.
Place the battery on the charger to charge and reset it.
