General Safety Rules

1. Keep work area clear.
Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
2. Consider work area environment.
Do not expose the tool to rain. Do not use the tool in damp or wet
conditions. Keep the work area well lit (250 - 300 Lux). Do not use
the tool where there is a risk of causing fire or explosion, e.g., in the
presence of flammable liquids and gases.
3. Guard against electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces (e.g., pipes, radiators,
cookers and refrigerators). When using the tool under extreme
conditions (e.g., high humidity, when metal swarf is being produced,
etc.), electric safety can be improved by inserting an isolating
transformer or a (FI) earth-leakage circuit-breaker.
4. Keep other persons away.
Do not let persons, especially children, not involved in the work, touch
the tool or the extension cord and keep them away from the work area.
5. Store idle tools.
When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry place and locked up
securely, out of reach of children.
6. Do not force the tool.
It will do the job better and safer at the rate to which it was intended.
7. Use the right tool.
Do not force small tools to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Do not use
tools for purposes not intended; for example do not use circular saws
to cut tree limbs or logs.
8. Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these can be caught in
moving parts. Non-skid footwear is recommended when working
outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
9. Use protective equipment.
Always use safety glasses. Use a face or dust mask if working
operations create dust or flying particles. If these particles might be
considerably hot, also wear a heat-resistant apron. Wear ear protection
at all times. Wear a safety helmet at all times.
10. Connect dust extraction equipment.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collecting equipment, ensure these are connected and properly used.
11. Do not abuse the cord.
Never yank the cord to disconnect it from the socket. Keep the
cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Never carry the tool by its
cord.
12. Secure work.
Where possible use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is safer than
using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
13. Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. Maintain tools with care.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect
tools periodically and if damaged have them repaired by an authorized
service facility. Keep handles and switches dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
15. Disconnect tools.
When not in use, before servicing and when changing accessories such
as blades, bits and cutters, disconnect tools from the power supply.
16. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
Form the habit of checking to see that adjusting keys and wrenches are
removed from the tool before operating the tool.
17. Avoid unintentional starting.
Do not carry the tool with a finger on the switch. Be sure that the tool is
in the "off" position before plugging in.
18. Use outdoor extension leads.
Before use, inspect the extension cable and replace if damaged.
When the tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for
outdoor use and marked accordingly.

19. Stay alert.
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the tool
when you are tired or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
20. Check for damaged parts.
Before use, carefully check the tool and mains cable to determine
that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check
for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorized service centre unless otherwise indicated
in this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by an
authorized service centre.
Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Never attempt any repairs yourself.
WARNING! The use of any accessory or attachment or
performance of any operation with this tool other than those
recommended in this instruction manual may present a risk of
personal injury.
21. Have your tool repaired by a qualified person.
This electric tool complies relevant safety rules. Repairs should only be
carried out by qualified persons using original spare parts; otherwise
this may result in considerable danger to the user.
Additional Safety Rules for Table Top Mitre Saws
• Never use the saw without the guards in position, especially after
a mode change. Ensure the guards are in good working order and
properly maintained.
• Before work, ensure the machine is placed on an even surface with
sufficient stability and all guards are in correct position.
• Never cut light alloy. The machine is not designed for this application.
• Do not use abrasive or diamond discs.
• Never use saw blades which are damaged or deformed.
• Do not use saw blades manufactured from high speed steel (HSS).
• Wear suitable gloves when handling saw blade and rough materials.
Recommendation: Saw blades should be carried and stored in a holder
whenever practicable.
• In case of an accident or machine failure immediately switch the
machine off and pull the plug.
Report the failure and mark the machine in suitable form which prevents
that other persons use the defective machine.
• When the saw blade is blocked due to abnormal feed force while
cutting, switch the machine off and disconnect from the power supply.
Remove the workpiece and ensure that the saw blade runs free. Turn
machine back on and start a new cutting operation with reduced feed
force.
• Ensure that your body position is always to the left or right of the cutting
line.
• Always provide adequate general or localized lighting.
• Switch the machine off when unattended.
• Ensure the operator is adequately trained in use, adjustment and
operation of the machine.
• Connect the saw to a dust collection when sawing wood. Always
consider factors influencing exposure of dust such as:
– Type of material to be machined (Chip board produces more dust
than wood)
– Correct adjustment of saw blade
– Ensure that the local extraction as well as hoods, baffles and
chutes are properly adjusted.
– Dust extractor with air velocity not less than 20 m/s.
• This machine is of Class I construction; therefore earthed (grounded)
connection is required.
• Do not force the tool. The tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was intended.
• Use the appropriate tool. The intended use is described in this
instruction manual. Do not force small tools or attachments to do the
job of a heavy-duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes not intended.
• Keep the blade sharp.
