SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR RADIAL MITRE SAWS

1. ALWAYS DISCONNECT the mitre saw from the socket before replacing the saw blade and before any
fixing, cleaning or maintenance work or any kind of intervention.
2. DO NOT START the mitre saw until it has been completely assembled and installed according to the
instructions of this manual, until all the protection devices are assembled and working and all locking
handles are correctly tighten.
3. PLACE the mitre saw on a plane and horizontal surface in order to avoid any dangerous oscillation and
movements.
4. ALWAYS press the work-piece to the fence. Do not work freehand.
5. ALWAYS keep your hands aways from saw blade's track. Do not go too near to the saw blade when
cutting small pieces; it is preferable to use clamps.
6. DO NOT PLACE your hands behind or over the saw blade and avoid any uncomfortable positions with
your hands and body.
7. DO NOT remove stuck wood pieces while the blade is turning. You can intervene after switching off the
machine and having waited for the blade to stop rotating.
8. LEAN on a support the ends of big work-pieces which come out sideways or behind the workbench.
9. BE SURE that workbench's extensions are locked before starting the machine.
10. ALWAYS USE the table saw in a well ventilated area. Often remove the sawdust. Carefully remove the
sawdust that is inside the saw to avoid risk of fire.
11. CHECK that the saw blade is well sharpened, that it rotates freely and without any vibrations.
12. DO NOT use saw blades which are damaged or deformed or high speed blades in high alloy (as for
example HSS ).
13. ONLY USE saw blades recommended by the manufacturer, in compliance with EN 847-1 standard.
14. ONLY USE saw blades, which are suitable to the material to be cut and on which the marked speed is
higher than the one of the machine. When changing the blade, check if external diameter and bore
diameter are correct, that cutting width and blade body are not thinner than the riving knife width. Always
transport the saw blade inside its case.
15. ONLY USE saw blades suitable for crosscut. Saw blades with hard metal plates must have a cutting angle
which is negative or null. DO NOT use deep teeth saw blades since they can bend and get in touch with
the saw blade protective cap.
16. BEFORE ASSEMBLING the saw blade and the flanges, be sure that they are clean and that the lock
screw is well tightened.
17. USE this table saw only to cut wood and similar materials. Never cut ferrous materials.
18. BE SURE that the saw blade does not touch the work-piece before starting cutting.
19. LET the motor reach its maximum range of speed before starting to cut.
20. BE SURE that the saw blade is completely still before moving or locking the piece to be cut, changing the
angle at which the piece is placed or changing saw blade's angle.
21. CHECK that the guide system of the cut-off saw is locked when you do not desire to use the radial
movement.
22. USE the radial movement by pushing the saw blade towards the fence and then, after having blocked the
piece against the fence, pull the head towards yourself, lower the saw blade on the piece to be cut and
push the head forward to finish cutting.
23. OFTEN CHECK if the supply cable is damaged, and in this case get it repaired by an authorised after
sales centre. Often check the extension cord and change it if it is damaged.
24. USE ear protection devices and the dust mask.
25. NEVER USE thinners to clean the plastic pieces of the machine. Thinners can melt or damage the
material. Only use a damp cloth for cleaning plastic work-pieces.
26. IMMEDIATELY STOP the mitre saw and disconnect it from the power supply if you realize that a piece is
damaged or faulty. Make the faulty piece repaired by an after sales service centre. Use only spare parts
and accessories recommended by us.
27. Change the cover of the swivel support when it shows signs of wear.
