As the undercut mitre saw is relatively small and light, it can be easily transported even by
one person. It is sufficient to lift the saw by the handle after the locking button has been
locked in the lowest position.
Place the machine on a work bench or on a sufficiently flat base/pedestal to ensure the best
possible stability. Bearing in mind ergonomic criteria, the ideal height of the bench or of the
base should be such that the base surface or the upper work surface is between 90 and 95
cm from the ground. Always ensure that there is at least 80 cm of manoeuvring space in all
directions around the machine in order to perform all necessary cleaning, maintenance and
adjustment operations safely with a sufficient amount of space available.
CAUTION:
Ensure the machine is placed in a suitable position both in terms of environmen-
tal conditions and lighting. Always bear in mind that general environmental conditions are
of fundamental importance to prevent accidents.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
-
The height of the workpiece must be at least 3 mm. Make sure that the workpiece is al-
ways secured with the clamping device.
-
Only process selected woods without defects such as: nails, screws, branch knots, edge
cracks, surface cracks. Wood with such defects is prone to splintering and can be haz-
ardous.
-
Do not use deformed or damaged blades.
-
Do not operate the saw without guards in place.
-
Replace the table insert when worn.
-
The saw should only be used to cut wood, wood-like materials and plastic.
-
Use only the manufacturer‘s recommended saw blades that meet the EN 847-1 standard.
-
Attach a dust collector to your miter saw during operation.
-
Select the blade according to the material to be cut.
-
Check the maximum depth of cut.
-
When cutting longer pieces always use extension rails and insert clamps or other clamp-
ing devices for better grip.
-
Wear ear protection.
-
The operator station is in front of the machine.
-
Use the clamping device to secure the workpiece.
-
Turn off the power tool if the blade gets stuck in the workpiece or the workpiece gets
wedged.
-
Caution: Do not use blades made of high speed steel.
-
Keep the floor area free of loose particles such as wood chips and cuttings.
-
Make sure that the blade speed indicated on its label is at least as high as that of the saw
speed.
-
Use gloves when handling saw blades and rough materials.
-
Be sure to use only shims and spindle rings that are suitable for the purpose specified by
the manufacturer.
-
Caution: Do not remove cuttings or other parts of the workpiece from the cutting area
while the machine is running and the saw has not yet come to a complete stop.
-
Make sure that the machine is sitting securely before beginning to saw.
