  DOUBLE INSULATION 

 

  To avoid injury from flying debris, keep 

holding  the  saw  head  down,  after 
making cuts, until the blade has come to 
a complete stop. 

  Do not place hand or fingers close to the 

blade. 

  For your safety, remove the chips, small 

pieces,  etc.  from  the  table  top  before 
operation. 

  Always set SUB-FENCE to left position 

when performing left bevel cuts. Failure 
to  do  so  may  cause  serious  injury  to 
operator. 

  To loosen the bolt, turn it clockwise. 

 

  Only for EU countries 

Do  not  dispose  of  electric  equipment 
together with household waste material! 
In  observance  of  European  Directive 
2002/96/EC  on  waste  electric  and 
electronic 

equipment 

and 

its 

implementation  in  accordance  with 
national  law,  electric  equipment  that 

have reached the end of their life must 
be collected separately and returned to 
an environmentally compatible recycling 
facility. 

ENE004-1 

Intended use

 

The  tool  is  intended  for  accurate  straight  and  miter 
cutting in wood. With appropriate saw blades, aluminum 
can also be sawed.

Power supply

 

The tool should be connected only to a power supply of 
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can 
only be operated on single-phase  AC supply.  They are 
double-insulated and can, therefore, also be used from 
sockets without earth wire.
