• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam
and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and bits
etc., in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the actual working
conditions and the work that is to be
done. It can be dangerous to use power
tools for purposes other than those for
which they are intended to be used.
• Keep handles and grips clean, dry and free
from oil and grease. Greasy handles and
grips make it difficult to hold the tool.
SERVICE
• The power tool must only be serviced by
qualified personnel using identical spare
parts. This will ensure that the power tool
remains safe to use.
SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR MITRE SAWS
• All the warning symbols on the power tool
must be clearly visible.
• Do nut put anything on top of the tool.
If the tool tips over or if you touch the saw
blade this can lead to serious injury.
• Check that the blade guard is working
properly and can move freely. Never
clamp the guard open.
• Never clear away pieces of wood or
sawdust from the saw while it is running.
Put the saw arm in its rest position and
switch off the tool with the power switch.
• Only apply the saw blade against the work
piece when the saw is running. Otherwise
there is a risk of kickback if the blade jams
in the workpiece.
• Keep the handles clean, dry and free from
oil and grease. Greasy or oily handles are
slippery and can cause you to lose control.
• Remove tools and sawdust from the
surface of the workspace on the power
tool before sawing. Only the workpiece
should be there. Small pieces of wood
jewellery and long hair can get caught in
moving parts.
• If dust extraction and dust collection
equipment is available, this should be
connected and used correctly. The use of
such equipment can reduce the risk of
dust-related problems.
• Do not allow the fact that you are used to
working with similar tools cause you to
become over-confident and to disregard
the safety instructions for the tool.
A moment of inattention or carelessness
can result in serious personal injury.
USING AND LOOKING AFTER
POWER TOOLS
• Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for the planned work.
The tool does the job better and safer
when used at the rate for which it was
designed.
• Do not use the tool if it cannot be
switched on and off with the power
switch. Power tools that cannot be
controlled with the power switch are
dangerous and must be repaired.
• Pull out the plug and/or remove the
battery before making any adjustments,
changing accessories or putting the power
tool away. These safety precautions
reduce the risk of accidently starting the
power tool.
• Store power tools out of the reach of
children when not in use. Never allow
children, or anyone who is unfamiliar with
the power tool and these instructions,
to use the tool. Power tools are dangerous
if used by inexperienced persons.
• Keep power tools properly maintained.
Check that moving parts are properly
adjusted and do not jam, and that no
parts are incorrectly fitted or damaged.
Check for other factors that could affect
functionality. If the power tool is
damaged, it must be repaired before
being used again. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
