jewellery and long hair can get caught in
moving parts.
•
If dust extraction and dust collection
equipment is available, this should be
connected and used correctly. The use of
such equipment can reduce the risk of
dust-related problems.
•
Do not allow the fact that you are used to
working with similar tools cause you to
become over-confident and to disregard
the safety instructions for the tool. A
moment of inattention or carelessness
can result in serious personal injury.
USING AND LOOKING AFTER
POWER TOOLS
•
Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for the planned work.
The tool does the job better and safer
when used at the rate for which it was
designed.
•
Do not use the tool if it cannot be
switched on and off with the power
switch. Power tools that cannot be
controlled with the power switch are
dangerous and must be repaired.
•
Pull out the plug and/or remove the
battery before making any adjustments,
changing accessories or putting the power
tool away. These safety precautions
reduce the risk of accidently starting the
power tool.
•
Store power tools out of the reach of
children when not in use. Never allow
children, or anyone who is unfamiliar with
the power tool and these instructions, to
use the tool. Power tools are dangerous if
used by inexperienced persons.
•
Keep power tools properly maintained.
Check that moving parts are properly
adjusted and do not jam, and that no
parts are incorrectly fitted or damaged.
Check for other factors that could affect
functionality. If the power tool is
damaged, it must be repaired before
being used again. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
•
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam
and are easier to control.
•
Use the power tool, accessories and bits
etc., in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the actual working
conditions and the work that is to be
done. It can be dangerous to use power
tools for purposes other than those for
which they are intended to be used.
•
Keep handles and grips clean, dry and free
from oil and grease. Greasy handles and
grips make it difficult to hold the tool.
SERVICE
•
The power tool must only be serviced by
qualified personnel using identical spare
parts. This will ensure that the power tool
remains safe to use.
•
A damaged power cord or plug must be
replaced by an authorised service centre
or other qualified personnel to ensure
safe use.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITRE
SAW
•
The product is intended for sawing wood
and similar materials. Do not use product
with a cutting disc for cutting iron or
metal. Dust from cutting with a disc can
cause moving parts, such as the bottom
guard, to jam. Sparks from cutting with a
disc can cause burn marks on the bottom
guard, table insert and other plastic parts.
•
Secure the workpiece with clamps or the
equivalent when this is possible. Make
sure to keep your hands at least 100 mm
from the side of the blade. Do not saw
workpieces that are too small to be firmly
secured. The risk of contact with the
blade, and therefore serious personal
injury, will increase nearer to the blade.
•
The workpiece should not move and be
clamped or pressed against the fence and
table. Never feed the workpiece towards
