h) Keep the handles and grip surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.
If the
handles and grip surfaces are slippery, it will
not be possible to operate and control the
power tool safely in unforeseen situations.
5. Service
a) Have your power tool repaired only by
trained personnel using only genuine
spare parts.
This will ensure that your power
tool remains safe to use.
Special safety information for miter saws
Please note that your equipment may not have all
the functions described in this safety information.
Read the safety information carefully and observe
all the instructions required for your machine.
a) Miter saws are designed for cutting wood
or wood-type products. They are not
intended to be used for cutting ferrous
materials such as rods, bars, screws, etc.
Abrasive dust will lead to moving parts such
as the bottom guard hood getting blocked.
Sparks from cutting will burn the bottom gu-
ard hood, the insertion plate and other plastic
parts
b) If possible, use clamps to secure the
workpiece.
If you hold the workpiece with
your hand, you must keep your hand at least
100 mm away from each side of the saw bla-
de at all times. Never use this saw for cutting
workpieces which are too small, to clamp
them or to hold them with your hand. If your
hand is too close to the saw blade there is a
greater risk of injury from contact with the saw
blade.
c) The workpiece must immovable and eit-
her securely clamped or pressed against
the stop and the table.
Do not push the
workpiece into the saw blade and never cut it
“free-handed”. Loose or moving workpieces
could be catapulted out at high speed and
cause injuries.
d) Push the saw through the workpiece.
Do not pull the saw backwards through
the workpiece. To make a cut, lift the saw
head and pull it over the workpiece without
cutting. Then switch on the motor, swing
the saw head down and push it through the
workpiece. If it is pulled to make a cut there
is a danger of the saw blade leaping up on
the workpiece and the saw blade unit being
hurled with force against the operator.
e) Never cross your hand over the intended
cutting line, either in front of or behind
the saw blade.
Supporting the workpiece
“with crossed hands”, i.e. holding the work-
piece on the right-hand side next to the saw
blade with your left hand or vice versa is very
dangerous.
f) Do not reach behind the stop while the
saw blade is rotating.
Never place your
hands any closer to the rotating saw blade
than the safety distance of 100 mm (this
applies to both sides of the saw blade, e.g.
when removing wood scraps). You may not
necessarily be able to see how close your
hands are to the rotating saw blade and you
could sustain serious injuries.
g) Check the workpiece before cutting.
If the
workpiece is bent or warped, clamp it with the
side which is curved outward facing towards
the stop. Always make sure that there are
no gaps along the cutting line between the
workpiece, stop and table. Bent and warped
workpieces could twist or move position and
cause the rotating saw blade to get jammed
during cutting. There must be no nails or for-
eign bodies in the workpiece.
h) Do not use the saw before all tools, wood
scraps, etc.,
have been cleared from the tab-
le; only the workpiece is allowed to be on the
table. Small scraps, loose pieces of wood and
other objects which come into contact with
the rotating blade could be catapulted out at
high speed.
i) Only cut one workpiece at a time.
Stacks
of more than one workpiece cannot be clam-
ped or held properly and could cause the
blade to jam or slip while sawing.
j) Make sure that the miter saw is stood on
a level and
fi
rm work surface before you
start using it.
A level and
fi
rm work surface
will prevent any danger of the miter saw beco-
ming instable.
k) Plan your work.
Whenever you adjust the
angle of the saw blade or the miter angle,
make sure that adjustable stop is correctly
adjusted and supports the workpiece without
coming into contact with the blade or the gu-
ard hood. With the machine switched o
ff
and
without the workpiece on the table, perform a
simulation of the complete movement of the
saw blade in order to check that there are no
obstructions and there is no risk of cutting
into the stop.
