m) Do not use another person as a substitute for
a table extension or as additional support.
Unstable support of the workpiece can lead to
the blade becoming jammed. Also, the workpiece
could shift during the cutting process, pulling you
or your assistant into the rotating blade.
n) The cut-off piece must not be jammed or
pressed by any means against the spinning
saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the
cut-off piece could get wedged against the blade
and thrown violently.
o) Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to
properly support round material such as rods
or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while be-
ing cut, causing the blade to "bite" and pull the
work with your hand into the blade.
p) Let the blade reach full speed before contact-
ing the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of
the workpiece being thrown.
q) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed,
turn the mitre saw off. Wait for all moving
parts to stop and disconnect the plug from
the power source and/or remove the battery
pack. Then, remove the jammed material. If
you continue sawing with such jamming this can
result in a loss of control or to the chop and mitre
saw being damaged.
r) After finishing the cut, release the switch,
hold the saw head down and wait for the blade
to stop before removing the cut-off piece.
Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade
is dangerous.
s) Hold the handle firmly when making an incom-
plete cut or when releasing the switch before
the saw head is completely in the down posi-
tion. The braking action of the saw may cause
the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward,
causing a risk of injury.
Safety instructions for the handling of saw blades
1. Do not use damaged or deformed saw blades.
2. Do not use saw blades with cracks. Separate
cracked saw blades. Repairs are not permitted.
3. Do not use saw blades made of high speed steel.
4. Check the condition of the saw blades before us-
ing the sliding cross-cut mitre saw.
5. Make sure that a suitable saw blade for the mate-
rial to be cut is selected.

6. Only use saw blades recommended by the man-
ufacturer.
Saw blades designed to cut wood and similar ma-
terials must comply with EN 847-1.
7. Do not use saw blades made of high-speed alloy
steel (HSS steel).
8. Only use saw blades for which the maximum per-
missible speed is not lower than the maximum
spindle speed of the sliding cross-cut mitre saw,
and which are suitable for the material to be cut.
9. Observe the rotational direction of the saw blade.
10. Only use saw blades if you have mastered their
use.
11. Observe the maximum speed. The maximum
speed specified on the saw blade may not be
exceeded. If specified, observe the speed range.
12. Clean dirt, grease, oil and water off of the clamp-
ing surfaces.
13. Do not use any loose reducing rings or bushes for
the reducing of holes on saw blades.
14. Make sure that fixed reducer rings for securing
the saw blade have the same diameter and have
at least 1/3 of the cutting diameter.
15. Make sure that fixed reducer rings are parallel to
each other.
16. Handle saw blade with caution. They are ideally
stored in the originally package or special con-
tainers. Wear protective gloves in order to im-
prove grip and to further reduce the risk of injury.
17. Prior to the use of saw blades, make sure that all
protective devices are properly fastened.
18. Prior to use, ensure that the saw blade meets the
technical requirements of this sliding cross-cut
mitre saw, and is properly fastened.
19. Only use the supplied saw blade for cutting wood,
never for the processing of metals.
20. Use only a saw blade with a diameter that match-
es the specifications on the saw.
21. Use additional workpiece supports, if required for
workpiece stability.
22. Workpiece support extensions must always be
secured and used during work.
23. Replace table inserts when worn!
24. Avoid overheating the saw teeth.
25. When sawing plastic, avoid melting of the plastic.
Use the appropriate saw blades for this purpose.
Replace damaged or worn saw blades immedi-
ately.
When the saw blade overheats, stop the machine.
Allow the saw blade to cool down before using the
machine again.
