Specific Safety Instructions - VONROC MS507AC Originalbetriebsanleitung

h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-
like products, they cannot be used with abrasive
cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous material such
as bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive dust causes
moving parts such as the lower guard to jam.
Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the lower
guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
• Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever
possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand,
you must always keep your hand at least 100
mm from either side of the saw blade. Do not
use this saw to cut pieces that are too small to
be securely clamped or held by hand. If your
hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there
is an increased risk of injury from blade contact.
• The workpiece must be stationary and clamped
or held against both the fence and the table.
Do not feed the workpiece into the blade or cut
"freehand" in any way. Unrestrained or moving
workpieces could be thrown at high speeds,
causing injury.
• Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not
pull the saw through the workpiece. To make
a cut, raise the saw head and pull it out over
the workpiece without cutting, start the motor,
press the saw head down and push the saw
through the workpiece. Cutting on the pull
stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to climb
on top of the workpiece and violently throw the
blade assembly towards the operator.
• Never cross your hand over the intended line of
cutting either in front or behind the saw blade.
Supporting the workpiece "cross handed" i.e.
holding the workpiece to the right of the saw
blade with your left hand or vice versa is very
dangerous.
• Do not reach behind the fence with either hand
closer than 100 mm from either side of the saw
blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other

reason while the blade is spinning. The proximi-
ty of the spinning saw blade to your hand may
not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.
• Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the
workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with
the outside bowed face toward the fence.
Always make certain that there is no gap
between the workpiece, fence and table along
the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces
can twist or shift and may cause binding on the
spinning saw blade while cutting. There should
be no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece.
• Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all
tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the work-
piece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or
other objects that contact the revolving blade
can be thrown with high speed.
• Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked mul-
tiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped
or braced and may bind on the blade or shift
during cutting.
• Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on a
level, firm work surface before use. A level and
firm work surface reduces the risk of the mitre
saw becoming unstable.
• Plan your work. Every time you change the
bevel or mitre angle setting, make sure the
adjustable fence is set correctly to support the
workpiece and will not interfere with the blade
or the guarding system. Without turning the
tool "ON" and with no workpiece on the table,
move the saw blade through a complete simu-
lated cut to assure there will be no interference
or danger of cutting the fence.
• Provide adequate support such as table exten-
sions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is
wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces
longer or wider than the mitre saw table can tip
if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece or
workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be
thrown by the spinning blade.
• Do not use another person as a substitute for
a table extension or as additional support. Un-
stable support for the workpiece can cause the
blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during
the cutting operation pulling you and the helper
into the spinning blade.
