Wear protective clothing:
− ear protection (sound pressure levels at the workplace
usually exceed 85 dB(A)
− safety goggles
− Dust mask with work activities generating dust
− Gloves when replacing the saw blade
Operate the saw only on
− firm
− level
− slip-free
− vibration free surface
Keep your workplace in an orderly condition! Untidiness can
result in accidents.
Take into consideration environmental influences:
− Do not expose the machine to rain.
− Do not use the machine in humid or wet environment.
− Ensure that the workplace is well lit.
−
Do not use the machine near inflammable liquids or gas-
es.
− Connect the mitre crosscut saw to a dust collection de-
vice when cutting wood.
Never leave the machine unattended.
Persons under 18 may not operate the machine.
Keep other persons away.
Do not allow other persons, especially children, to touch the
tool or cable.
Keep them away from your working area.
Avoid any inadvertent starting. Make sure that the switch is
off before connecting the mains plug with the outlet socket.
Assume the correct work posture. Stand to the front at the
operator side facing the saw and to the right of the saw blade
alignment.
Only begin cutting after the saw blade has reached its re-
quired rotational speed.
Make sure that the arm swivel device is safely secured when
sawing a mitre joint.
Do not overload the machine! You work better and safer in
the given performance range.
Do not use machines for high-duty work for which they are
not rated.
Only operate the machine with complete and properly at-
tached protective devices and do not make any modifications
to the machine that may interfere with safety.
Make sure that the lower protective cover can move freely.
Do not use any cracked saw blades or such that have
changed their shape.
Malfunctions of the machine including defective guards or
saw blades must be reported to the person responsible for
safety immediately after detection.
Use only sharp saw blades since dull saw blades not only
increase the danger of back kicking but also cause exces-
sive load on the motor.
Do not use saw blades made of high speed steel (HSS)
since this steel is hard and brittle; use only tools according to
EN 847-1.

The use of other tools and other accessories may pre-
sent a risk of injury to you.
Pay attention that the saw blade conforms to the dimensions
specified under "Technical Data" and is suitable for the work
piece material.
Use only fine-tooth saw blades to cut thin or thin-wall work
pieces.
Only saw one work piece at a time. Never saw several work
pieces at the same time or do not bundle several individual
pieces together for cutting. There is danger that individual
pieces may be caught by the saw blade in an uncontrolled
manner.
Do not use the saw for purposes it is not intended for (see
intended use).
Do not use the machine for cutting materials other than
those indicated by the manufacturer.
Remove all nails and metal objects from the work piece prior
to sawing.
Pay attention that the work piece does not contain any ca-
bles, ropes, cords or the like.
Use clamping devices or a vise to secure the work piece.
Only cut work pieces with dimensions that allow secure
holding while sawing.
Always keep sufficient distance to the saw blade. Maintain
sufficient distance from driven components during operation.
The saw blade runs after. Wait until the saw blade has come
to a standstill before remove splinters, chips and waste.
Do not slow the saw blade down by applying lateral pressure
to it.
Switch the machine off and remove the mains plug from the
socket when
− carrying out repair works
− maintenance and cleaning
− removal of faults (this also includes the removal of
jammed splinters)
− checks of connecting lines, whether these are knotted or
damaged
− Transporting the machine
− Changing the saw blade
− Leaving the machine (also for short-term interruption)
Maintain your machine with care:
− Keep your tools sharp and clean in order to be able to
work better and safer.
− Follow the maintenance instructions and the instructions
for tool exchange.
− Keep handles dry and free of oil and grease.
Check the machine for possible damage:
− Before further use of the machine the protection devices
or slightly damaged parts must be checked carefully for
their proper and intended function.
− Check whether the movable parts function perfectly and
do not stick or whether the parts are damaged, All parts
must be correctly installed and fulfil all conditions to en-
sure perfect operation of the saw
− Damaged guards and parts must be properly repaired or
exchanged by a recognized, specialist workshop; insofar
as nothing else is stated in the instructions for use.
− Damaged or illegible security labels have to be replaced.
