Safety Warnings for Sliding Mitre Saws
f Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held
more secure than by hand.
f Keep your workplace clean. Blends of mate-
rials are particularly dangerous. Dust from
light alloys can burn or explode.
f Never leave the machine before it has come
to a complete stop. Cutting tools that are
still running can cause injuries.
f Never use the machine with a damaged ca-
ble. Do not touch the damaged cable and
pull the mains plug when the cable is dam-
aged while working. Damaged cables in-
crease the risk of an electric shock.
f Never stand on the power tool. Serious inju-
ries can occur when the power tool tips over
or when inadvertently coming into contact
with the saw blade.
f Make sure that the guard operates properly
and that it can move freely. Never lock the
guard in place when opened.
f Keep hands away from the cutting area
while the machine is running. Danger of in-
jury when coming in contact with the saw
blade.
f Never remove cutting remainders, wood
chips, etc. from the sawing area while the
machine is running. Always guide the tool
arm back to the neutral position first and
then switch the machine off.
f Guide the saw blade against the workpiece
only when the machine is switched on. Oth-
erwise there is damage of kickback, when
the saw blade becomes wedged in the work-
piece.
f Operate the power tool only when the work
area to the workpiece is clear of any adjust-
ing tools, wood chips, etc. Small pieces of
wood or other objects that come in contact
with the rotating saw blade can strike the op-
erator with high speed.
f Always firmly clamp the piece to be
worked. Do not saw workpieces that are too
small to clamp. Otherwise, the clearance of
your hand to the rotating saw blade is too
small.
f Operate the machine only for materials
mentioned under “Intended Use”. Other-
wise, the machine can be subject to over-
load.
f Do not use dull, cracked, bent or damaged
saw blades. Unsharpened or improperly set
saw blades produce narrow kerf causing ex-
cessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
f Always use saw blades with correct size
and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor
holes. Saw blades that do not match the
mounting hardware of the saw will run ec-
centrically, causing loss of control.
f Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw
blades. Such saw blades can easily break.
f Do not touch the saw blade after working
before it has cooled. The saw blade be-
comes very hot while working.
f Never operate the machine without the in-
sert plate. Replace a defective insert plate.
Without flawless insert plates, injuries are
possible from the saw blade.
