While operating
Keep third parties away from the power tool's area of
operation. Never work while animals or people,
especially children, are in the danger zone.
Keep the work area clean, organized and well lit (250 to 300 lux
light), thus decreasing the risk of accidents.
Always wear personal protective equipment and clothing.
Wearing a visor or goggles, dust mask, hearing protection, anti-
slip safety shoes, long-sleeved clothing, gloves and helmet
properly reduces the risk of injury.
Clothing worn during the appliance operation must be
adequate, tight and closed, for example, a work boiler suit. Do
not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing and
gloves away from rotating parts.
The following precautions and procedures should also be
followed to avoid accidents:
▪

tightening the bolts;
▪
To avoid displacements or projections use clamping devices
to ensure a safe performance; Place/keep the workpiece in a
correct and stable position;
▪
Always fit the blade guard in place and in good working
condition. The blade guard should move freely and close
instantly. Never operate the power tool without the blade
guard installed;
▪
In case the saw blade gets stuck, immediately release the
trigger switch and reduce the pressure applied on the
handle;
▪
When using the sliding miter saw, adopt a stable position and
always keep your balance. Hold the power tool firmly to
ensure continuous operation and withstand unexpected
situations;
▪
The saw blade may become too hot while cutting. Avoid
touching it, it can cause severe burns;
