●
When using a cable drum, unwind it entirely in order to prevent the cable from heating up.
The minimum wire gauge is 1.5 mm2.
●
When working outside, the receptacle must be equipped with a residual current circuit-
breaker.
●
Pull the plug when you are not using the device or making adjustments.
●
Always guide the cable away from the back of the tool.
7. Special safety instructions
●
Never use the crosscut mitre saw for cutting materials other than those specified by the
manufacturer.
●
Only use the saw if the guards are in the correct positions and if the saw is in good condition
and has been serviced correctly.
●
Ensure that the equipment for swinging the arm on mitre saws is securely fastened.
●
The floor around the machine must be flat, clean and clear of loose particles such as chips
and off-cuts.
●
Ensure that there is reasonable lighting in the workplace or room.
●
The operator must have received adequate training in the use, setting and operation of the
machine.
●
Ensure that you only use spacing discs and spindle rings which are suitable for the purpose
specified by the manufacturer.
●
The laser must not be replaced by a laser of a different type. Repairs may only be carried
out by the manufacturer of the laser or an authorised representative.
●
Damaged or deformed saw blades must not be used.
●
Replace worn table inserts.
●
Use only saw blades which are recommended by the manufacturer and comply with EN
847-1.
●
Do not use saw blades made of high speed steel.
●
The crosscut mitre saw must be connected to a dust extraction system for sawing wood.
●
Always position the workpiece securely on the machine surface to prevent the workpiece
moving.
●
Use an additional support for long workpieces (for example a table or saw stool) to prevent
the machine from tipping over. Do not ask other people to hold the workpiece.
●
Place the machine on a strong, flat working area before use.
●
Check whether the moving parts of the machine are in perfect working order and that no
parts are damaged.
●
Check the direction of rotation of the motor and saw blade.
●
Replace defective saw blades immediately.
●
Keep your hands, fingers and arms away from the rotating saw blade.
●
Do not reach behind the stop rail near the saw blade, the distance between your hand and
the rotating saw blade is too small for this.
●
Only saw one workpiece at a time. Workpieces placed on top of each other or side by side
cannot be clamped correctly and they may jam the saw blade or move relative to each other.
●
Keep the cutting track free of obstacles both at the top and bottom.
●
Do not saw workpieces which contain nails or similar foreign bodies.
●
Always work to the side of the saw blade.
●
Ensure that the off-cuts can be removed to the side of the saw blade so that they do not
become caught in the saw blade.
●
Always switch off the machine and pull the plug to rectify problems or remove jammed
pieces of wood. Only then can you remove the jammed workpiece.
●
Do not overload the machine so that it comes to a standstill.
