8. Always secure all moving portions before
carrying the tool.
9. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down
is for carrying and storage purposes only and
not for any cutting operations.
10. Do not use the tool in the presence of
flammable liquids or gases.
11. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage
before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged blade immediately.
12. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
13. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges
(especially the installing surface) or bolt.
Damage to these parts could result in blade
breakage.
14. Make sure that the turn base is properly
secured so it will not move during operation.
15. For your safety, remove the chips, small
pieces, etc. from the table top before
operation.
16. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
17. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
18. Be sure that the blade does not contact the
turn base in the lowest position.
19. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.
20. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
21. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation or
a poorly balanced blade.
22. Wait until the blade attains full speed before
cutting.
23. Stop operation immediately if you notice
anything abnormal.
24. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the on
position.
25. Be alert at all times, especially during
repetitive, monotonous operations. Do not be
lulled into a false sense of security. Blades are
extremely unforgiving.
26. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
27. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood,
aluminum or similar materials. Connect miter
saws to a dust collecting device when sawing.
28. Select saw blades in relation to the material to
be cut.
29. Take care when slotting.
30. Replace the kerf board when worn.
31. Do not use saw blades manufactured from
high speed steel.
32. Some dust created from operation contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
a)
lead from lead - based - painted material
and,
b)
arsenic and chromium from chemically -
treated lumber. Your risk from these
exposures varies, depending on how often
you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a
well ventilated area and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those
dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
33. To reduce the emitted noise, always be sure
that the blade is sharp and clean.
34. The operator is adequately trained in the use,
adjustment and operation of the machine.
35. Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe
the maximum speed marked on the saw blade.
36. Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other
parts of the workpiece from the cutting area
whilst the tool is running and the saw head is
not in the rest position. The operator is
adequately trained in the use, adjustment and
operation of the machine.
37. Use only saw blades recommended by the
manufacturer which conform to EN 847-1
38. Wear gloves for handling saw blade (saw
blades shall be carried in a holder wherever
practicable) and rough material.
39. When fitted with laser, no exchange with
different type of laser is permitted. Repairs
shall only be carried out correctly.
Residual risks
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is
not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors.
The following hazards may arise in connection
with the tool’s construction and design:
1.
Damage to lungs if an effective dust mask is
not worn.
2. Damage to hearing if effective hearing
protection is not worn.
3. Health defects resulting from vibration
emission if the power tool is being used over
longer period of time or not adequately
managed and properly maintained.
WARNING! This machine produces an
electromagnetic field during operation. This field
may under some circumstances interfere with active
or passive medical implants. To reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injury, we recommend persons with
medical implants to consult their physician and the
medical implant manufacturer before operating this
machine.
