Hearing protection to reduce the risk of induced hearing
loss.
Eye protection to reduce the risk of injuring an eye.
Respiratory protection to reduce the risk of inhalation of
harmful dust.
Gloves for handling saw blades (saw blades shall be
carried in a holder wherever practicable) and rough
material.
14. The operator is adequately trained in the use, adjustment
and operation of the machine.
15. Refrain from removing any cut-o
ff
s or other parts of the
workpiece from the cutting area whilst the machine is
running and the saw head is not in the rest position.
16. Never use the slide compound miter saw with its lower
guard locked in the open position.
17. Ensure that the lower guard moves smoothly.
18. Do not use the saw without guards in position, in good
working order and properly maintained.
19. Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe the
maximum speed marked on the saw blade.
20. Do not use saw blades which are damaged or deformed.
21. Do not use saw blades manufactured from high speed
steel.
22. Use only saw blades recommended by HiKOKI.
Use of saw blade comply with EN847-1.
23. The saw blades should be 185 mm external diameter.
24. Select the correct saw blade for the material to be cut.
25. Never operate the slide compound miter saw with the
saw blade turned upward or to the side.
26. Ensure that the workpiece is free of foreign matter such
as nails.
27. Replace the table insert when worn.
28. Do not use the saw to cut other than aluminium, wood or
similar materials.
29. Do not use the saw to cut other materials than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
30. Blade replacement procedure, including the method for
repositioning and a warning that this must be carried out
correctly.
31. Connect the slide compound miter saw to a dust
collecting device when sawing wood.
32. Take care when slotting.
33. Start cutting only after motor revolution reaches
maximum speed.
34. Promptly cut OFF the switch when abnormality observed.
35. Shut o
ff
power and wait for saw blade to stop before
servicing or adjusting tool.
36. During a miter or bevel cut the blade should not be lifted
until it has stopped rotation completely.
37. During slide cutting operation, the saw must be pushed
and slided away from the operator.
38. Take all the possibility of residual risks in cutting
operation into your consideration, such as the laser
radiation to your eyes, the inadvertent access to moving
parts on slide mechanical parts on machine and so on.
39. Ensure before each cut that the machine is stable.
Use only saw blades whose maximum permitted speed
is higher than the no-load speed of the power tool.
Do not replace the laser with a di
ff
erent type.
40. Do not stand in a line with the saw blade In front of the
machine. Always stand aside of the saw blade. This
protects your body against possible kickback. Keep
hands,
fi
ngers and arms away from the rotating saw blade.
Do not cross your arms when operating the tool arm.
41. If the saw blade should become jammed, switch the
machine o
ff
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 machine.
m) Do not use another person as a substitute for a
table extension or as additional support.
Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the
blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the cutting
operation pulling you and the helper into the spinning
blade.
n) The cut-o
ff
piece must not be jammed or pressed
by any means against the spinning saw blade.
If
con
fi
ned, i.e. using length stops, the cut-o
ff
piece could
get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.
o) Always use a clamp or a
fi
xture designed to properly
support round material such as rods or tubing.
Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the
blade to "bite" and pull the work with your hand into the
blade.
p) Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the
workpiece.
This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being thrown.
q) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the
miter saw o
ff
. Wait for all moving parts to stop and
disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack. Then work to free the
jammed material.
Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could cause
lass of control or damage to the miter saw.
r) After
fi
nishing the cut, release the switch, hold
the saw head down and wait for the blade to stop
before removing the cut-o
ff
piece.
Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is
dangerous.
s) Hold the handle
fi
rmly when making an incomplete
cut or when releasing the switch before the saw
head is completely in the down position.
The braking action of the saw may cause the saw head
to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.
PRECAUTIONS ON USING SLIDE
COMPOUND MITER SAW
1. Keep the
fl
oor area around the machine level. Well
maintained and free of loose materials e.g. chips and
cut-o
ff
s.
2. Provide adequate general or localized lighting.
3. Do not use power tools for applications other than those
speci
fi
ed in the handling instructions.
4. Repairing must be done only by authorized service
facility. Manufacturer is not responsible for any damages
and injuries due to the repair by the unauthorized
persons as well as the mishandling of the tool.
5. To ensure the designed operational integrity of power
tools, do not remove installed covers or screws.
6. Do not touch movable parts or accessories unless the
power source has been disconnected.
7. Use your tool at lower input than speci
fi
ed on the
nameplate; otherwise, the
fi
nish may be spoiled and
working e
ffi
ciency reduced due to motor overload.
8. Do not wipe plastic parts with solvent. Solvents such as
gasoline, thinner, benzine, carbon tetrachloride, alcohol,
may damage and crack plastic parts. Do not wipe them
with such solvent. Clean plastic parts with a soft cloth
lightly dampened with soapy water.
9. Use only original HiKOKI replacement parts.
10. The exploded assembly drawing on this handling
instructions should be used only for authorized service
facility.
11. Never cut ferrous metals or masonry.
12. Adequate general or localized lighting is provided.
Stock and
fi
nished workpieces are located close to the
operators normal working position.
13. Wear suitable personal protective equipment when
necessary, this could include:
