of material to be processed, the significance of
local separation (collection or source) and the
correct setting of the hood/guide plates/guides.
– Do not use saw blades made of high-speed alloy
steel (HSS steel).
2 Maintenance and repair
– Pull out the mains plug for any adjustment or
repair tasks.
– The generation of noise is influenced by various
factors, including the characteristics of saw
blades, condition of saw blade and electric
tool. Use saw blades which were designed for
reduced noise development, insofar as possible.
Maintain the electric tool and tool attachments
regularly and if necessary, initiate repairs in
order to reduce noise.
– Report faults on the electric tool, protective
devices or the tool attachment to the person
responsible for safety as soon as they are dis-
covered.
3 Safe work
– Only use saw blades for which the maximum
permissible speed is not lower than the maxi-
mum spindle speed of table saws and which are
suitable for the material to be cut.
– Make sure that the saw blade does not touch
the rotary table in any position by pulling out the
mains plug and rotating the saw blade by hand
in the 45° and 90° position. If necessary, read-
just the saw head.
– When transporting the electric tool, only use
the transport devices. Never use the protective
devices for handling or transport.
– Make sure that the lower part of the saw blade is
covered during transport, e.g. by the protective
device.
– Be sure to only use spacers and spindle rings
specified by the manufacturer as suitable for the
intended purpose.
– The floor around the machine must be level,
clean and free of loose particles, such as chips
and cutting residues.
– Do not remove any cutting residues or other
parts of workpieces from the cutting zone while
the machine is running and the saw unit is not
at rest.
– Make sure that the machine is always secured
on a workbench or a table if at all possible.
– Support long workpieces (e.g. with a roller table)
to prevent them sagging at the end of a cut.
Warning! This electric tool generates an electromag-
netic field during operation. This field can impair active
or passive medical implants under certain conditions. In
order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we
recommend that persons with medical implants consult
with their physician and the manufacturer of the medical
implant prior to operating the electric tool.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE HANDLING OF
SAW BLADES
1
Only use insertion tools if you have mastered their
use.
Observe the maximum speed. The maximum
2
speed specified on the insertion tool may not be
exceeded. If specified, observe the speed range.
3
Observe the motor / saw blade direction of rota-
tion.
4
Do not use any insertion tools with cracks. Sort out
cracked insertion tools. Repairs are not permitted.
Clean grease, oil and water off of the clamping
5
surfaces.
6
Do not use any loose reducing rings or bushes for
the reducing of holes on saw blades.
7
Make sure that fixed reducer rings for securing the
insertion tool have the same diameter and have at
least 1/3 of the cutting diameter.
Make sure that fixed reducer rings are parallel to
8
each other.
9
Handle insertion tool with caution. They are ideally
stored in the originally package or special contain-
ers. Wear protective gloves in order to improve
grip and to further reduce the risk of injury.
10 Prior to the use of insertion tools, make sure that
all protective devices are properly fastened.
11 Prior to use, make sure that the insertion tool
meets the technical requirements of this electric
tool and is properly fastened.
12 Only use the supplied saw blade for sawing opera-
tions in wood, materials similar to wood, plastics
and non-ferrous metals (except for magnesium and
alloys containing magnesium).
Attention: Laser radiation
Do not stare into the beam
Class 2 laser
0
Protect yourself and you environment from acci-
dents using suitable precautionary measures!
• Do not look directly into the laser beam with unpro-
tected eyes.
• Never look into the path of the beam.
• Never point the laser beam towards reflecting sur-
faces and persons or animals. Even a laser beam
with a low output can cause damage to the eyes.
• Caution - methods other than those specified here
can result in dangerous radiation exposure.
• Never open the laser module. Unexpected exposure
to the beam can occur.
• If the mitre saw is not used for an extended period
of time, the batteries should be removed.
• The laser may not be replaced with a different type
of laser.
• Repairs of the laser may only be carried out by the
laser manufacturer or an authorised representative.
