moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the
direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
21. NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. Turn power off.
Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
•
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
ALL local codes and ordinances.
•
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
•
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (or
without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect
the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
•
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not
completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the
tool is properly grounded.
•
Use only a three wire extension cord with a 3-prong grounding type plug
and 3-hole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug as shown in the diagram.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
CAUTION: in all cases, make certain the receptacle in question is properly
grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the
receptacle.
•
Handle the cord carefully. Never use the cord to carry the tool or to pull
the plug from an outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
WARNING: this mitre saw is for indoor use only. Do not expose it to rain or
use in damp locations.
SERVICE
•
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result
in a risk of injury.
•
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
Ensure that the lighting is adequate.
•
Do not use the saw unless the guards are in place.
•
Do not use the saw to cut metal or masonry.
•
Keep the area free of tripping hazards.
•
Do not let anyone under 18 years operate this saw.
•
Always stand to one side when operating the saw.
•
Never use damaged or deformed saw blades. Only use sharp blades.
•
When cutting round wood, use clamps that prevent the workpiece from
turning on both sides of the blade.
•
Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste close by the
saw blade.
•
Use only blades as recommended by the manufacturer.
•
Do not use blades manufactured from high speed steel.
•
If the table insert is damaged or worn, have it replaced by an authorized
service centre.
•
Before making compound mitre cuts, ensure that the work head is securely
fixed in the desired position.
•
Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be left around the
work area.
•
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and other
foreign objects before beginning sawing.
•
Support the work properly.
•
Never reach over the blade to remove waste or off cuts.
•
Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first switching off the
machine.
•
Do not slow or stop a blade with a piece of wood. Let the blade come to
rest naturally.
•
If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete the process and
switch off before looking up.
•
Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings are properly
tightened.
•
Always hold the saw on parts that are insulated. If you accidentally cut
into hidden wiring or the saw’s own cable, the metal parts of the saw will
become ‘live’. Switch off at the mains and remove the plug immediately.
•
Connect the saw to a dust collection device and ensure that it is operated
properly.
•
Wear gloves when handling saw blades.
•
Keep the floor area around the machine level, well maintained and free of
loose materials such as wood chips and cut-offs.
•
During slide cutting, always ensure that the saw blade is pushed away from
the operator.
•
Always use stands to provide support for long work pieces that overhang
the turntable.
•
Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade
or cutter only.
