GB
that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw
will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
● Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw blades. Such
saw blades can easily break.
● Do not touch the saw blade after working before it
has cooled. The saw blade becomes very hot while
working.
● Never operate the machine without the insert plate.
Replace a defective insert plate. Without fl awless insert
plates, injuries are possible from the saw blade.
● Check the cable regularly and have a damaged cable
repaired only through an authorised customer service
agent for SBM Group. Replace damaged extension ca-
bles. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
● Store the machine in a safe manner when not being
used. The storage location must be dry and lockable.
This prevents the machine from storage damage, and
from being operated by untrained persons. Secure the
workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices
or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
● Never leave the machine before it has come to a
complete stop. Cutting tools that are still running can
cause injuries.
● Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do
not touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug
when the cable is damaged while working. Damaged
cables increase the risk of an electric shock. Prod-
ucts sold in GB only: Your product is
fi tted with an BS
1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA
approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it
should be cut off and an appropriate plug
fi tted in its
place by an authorised customer service agent. The
replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as
the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a pos-
sible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a
mains socket elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual cur-
rent device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30
mA or less.
SYMBOLS
The following symbols can be important for the opera-
tion of your power tool. Please memorise the symbols
and their meanings. The correct interpretation of the
symbols helps you operate the power tool better and
more secure.
Wear a dust respirator.
Wear safety goggles.
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
Keep hands away from the cutting area while
the machine is running. Danger of injury when
coming in contact with the saw blade.
Danger area! Keep hands, fi ngers or arms
away from this area.
other condition that may affect the power tool’s opera-
tion. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali
fi ed repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR CHOP AND MITRE
SAWS
Never make warning signs on the machine unrecog-
nisable.
● Never stand on the power tool. Serious injuries can
occur when the power tool tips over or when inadvert-
ently coming into contact with the saw blade.
● Make sure that the guard operates properly and that
it can move freely. Never lock the guard in place when
opened.
● Never remove cutting remainders, wood chips, etc.
from the sawing area while the machine is running. Al-
ways guide the tool arm back to the neutral position
fi rst and then switch the machine off.
● Guide the saw blade against the workpiece only
when the machine is switched on. Otherwise there is
damage of kickback, when the saw blade becomes
wedged in the workpiece.
● Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss
of control.
Operate the power tool only when the work area to the
workpiece is clear of any adjusting tools, wood chips,
etc. Small pieces of wood or other objects that come
in contact with the rotating saw blade can strike the
operator with high speed.
● Keep the fl oor free of wood chips and material re-
mainders. You could slip or trip.
● Always fi rmly 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.
● Use the machine only for cutting the materials listed
under Intended Use. Otherwise, the machine can be
subject to overload.
● If the saw blade should become jammed, switch the
machine off and hold the workpiece until the saw blade
comes to a complete stop. To prevent kickback, the
workpiece may not be moved until after the machine
has come to a complete stop. Correct the cause for
the jamming of the saw blade before restarting the ma-
chine.
● Do not use dull, cracked, bent or damaged saw
blades. Unsharpened or improperly set saw blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade
binding and kickback.
● Always use saw blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbor holes. Saw blades
