If possible, use clamps to hold/fix the workpiece. If you hold the workpiece by hand, always
hold your hand at least 100 mm from both sides of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut
parts that are too small to be securely clamped or held by hand.
Never cross the intended cutting line in front of or behind the saw blade.
Check your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is bent or warped, clamp it with the
outside bent surface against the stop. Always make sure that there is no gap between the
workpiece, stop and table along the cutting line. Bent or warped workpieces can twist or move
and can cause jamming of the circular saw blade during cutting. There must also be no nails or
foreign objects in the workpiece.
Cut only one workpiece at the same time.
Whenever you change the mitre angle setting, make sure that the adjustable stop for
supporting the workpiece is set correctly and does not disturb the saw blade or the protective
system. Without switching the machine "ON", check without moving the workpiece by moving
the saw blade (completely simulated cut) that there are no disturbances or dangers when
cutting at the stop.
For a workpiece that is wider or longer than the supporting table, sufficient support such as
table extensions, saw blocks, etc. must be provided.
Always use a clamp or fixture designed to accept round material such as rods or tubes
properly.
Allow the saw blade to reach full speed before touching the workpiece.
If the workpiece or saw blades become jammed, turn off the mitre saw immediately. Wait until
all moving parts have come to a standstill and disconnect the plug from the power source,
then start removing the jammed material.
After you have finished cutting, release the switch, hold the machine head down and wait for
the blade to stop before removing the cut part.
Hold the handle firmly if you make an incomplete cut or release the switch before the machine
head is fully in the down position.

systems are not used in closed rooms
Or others that are marked as follows in this manual:
A safety instruction designed in this way indicates an imminently hazardous situation
