The crosscut and miter saw with table is designed for
cross-cutting and for the longitudinal and lateral cut-
ting (with cross stop only) of wood and plastic suitable
for the machine size. The machine is not to be used
for cutting fire wood. The machine is to be used only
for its prescribed purpose. Any use other than that
mentioned is considered to be a case of misuse. The
user/operator and not the manufacturer shall be liable
for any damage or injury resulting from such cases
of misuse. The machine is to be operated only with
suitable saw blades. It is prohibited to use any type
of cutting-off wheel. To use the machine properly you
must also observe the safety regulations, the assem-
bly instructions and the operating instructions to be
found in this manual. All persons who use and service
the machine have to be acquainted with this manual
and must be informed about its potential hazards. It
is also imperative to observe the accident preven-
tion regulations in force in your area. The same ap-
plies for the general rules of occupational health and
safety. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any
changes made to the machine nor for any damage
resulting from such changes. Even when the machine
is used as prescribed it is still impossible to eliminate
certain residual risk factors. The following risks may
arise due to the machineʼs design and setup:
• Contact with the saw blade in the uncovered saw
zone.
• Reaching into the running saw blade (cut injuries).
• Kick-back of workpieces and parts of workpieces.
• Saw blade fracturing.
• Catapulting of faulty carbide tips from the saw
blade.
• Damage to hearing if essential ear-muffs are not
worn.
• Harmful emissions of wood dust when the machine
is used in closed rooms.
