Hand/arm vibrations
The vibration emission level given in this information
sheet has been measured in accordance with a stand-
ardised test given in EN 62841 and may be used to
compare one tool with another. It may be used for a
preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the
main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is
used for different applications, with different accesso-
ries or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may
differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level
over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration
should also take into account the times when the tool
is switched off or when it is running but not actually
doing the job. This may significantly reduce the expo-
sure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the oper-
ator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the
tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organi-
sation of work patterns.
Handling hazardous dusts
For work procedures with this power tool where
material is removed, dusts develop that can be hazard-
ous to one's health.
Contact with or inhaling some dust types, e. g. asbestos
and asbestos-containing materials, lead-containing coat-
ings, metal, some wood types, minerals, silicate parti-
cles from materials containing stone, paint solvents,
wood preservatives, antifouling paints for vessels, can
trigger allergic reactions to the operator or bystanders
and/or lead to respiratory infections, cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. The risk from
inhaling dusts depends on the exposition. Use dust
extraction matched appropriately for the developing
dust, as well as personal protective equipment and pro-
vide for good ventilation of the workplace. Leave the
processing of asbestos-containing materials to special-
ists.
Wood and light-metal dust, hot mixtures of grinding
dust and chemical materials can self-ignite under unfa-
vourable conditions or cause an explosion. Avoid
sparking in the direction of the dust collector as well as
overheating of the power tool and the materials being
sanded, empty the dust collector/container in time,
observe the material manufacturer's working instruc-
tions, as well as the relevant regulations in your country
for the materials being worked.
Operating Instructions.
Guide the power tool toward the workpiece only
when switched on. Otherwise, the workpiece and
application tools may be damaged.
Always carry out a test cut, as the scale for the mitre
angle has a certain tolerance. Readjustment may possi-
bly be required.
Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple
workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced
and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.
Danger of injury from chippings.
WARNING
Always keep your hands, clothing
etc. away from chippings. Do not attempt to remove
the application tool when still rotating. This can lead to
serious injuries.
Danger of burning. The application
WARNING
tool can become hot during opera-
tion. Before tool changing, allow the application tool to
cool down.
Mounting on the working surface (see page 4)
Mount the power tool to the working surface with suit-
able screw connections.
Adjusting the depth stop (see page 6)
When the depth stop is set too low, there is a risk of
sawing into the chip/grinding-dust box or saw table. Do
not adjust the depth stop too low.
Vice (see page 9)
The vice can be fastened in two positions. To move the
vice, loosen the corresponding screws, lift the vice out
of the holes and reposition the vice. Fasten the vice
again with the two screws.
Electronic soft starting
The electronic soft starting feature limits the torque
when switching on and thus increases the motor's serv-
ice life.
Rotation direction of the saw blade
When installing the saw blade, make sure that the cut-
ting direction of the teeth (arrow direction on saw
blade) corresponds to the arrow direction on the
wheel guard.
Speed of the saw blade
The speed of the saw blade must at least correspond to
the rated speed of the power tool.
Spindle lock (see pages 12/15)
Before switching on the power tool and after changing
the saw blade, make sure that the spindle is not locked.
Replacing the carbon brushes
The carbon brushes may only be changed by the after-
sales service.
