2 Maintenance and repair
– Pull out the mains plug for any adjustment or re-
pair 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 discovered.
3 Safe work
– Only use saw blades for which the maximum per-
missible speed is not lower than the maximum
spindle speed of table saws and which are suit-
able 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, readjust 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 cut-
ting residues.
– Do not remove any cutting residues or other parts
of workpieces from the cutting zone while the ma-
chine 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.
2
Observe the maximum speed. The maximum speed
specified on the insertion tool may not be exceeded.
If specified, observe the speed range.
3
Observe the motor / saw blade direction of rotation.
4
Do not use any insertion tools with cracks. Sort out
cracked insertion tools. Repairs are not permitted.
5
Clean grease, oil and water off of the clamping sur-
faces.
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.
8
Make sure that fixed reducer rings are parallel to
each other.
9
Handle insertion tool with caution. They are ideally
stored in the originally package or special containers.
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
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 surfaces
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.
Safety instructions for handling batteries
1
Always make sure that the batteries are inserted
with the correct polarity (+ and –), as indicated on
the battery.
2
Do not short-circuit batteries.
3
Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries.
4
Do not overcharge batteries!
5
Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of
different types or manufacturers! Replace an entire
set of batteries at the same time.
6
Immediately remove used batteries from the device
and dispose of them properly!
