connecting elements are tightened se-
curely.
The retaining rails on the power
tool must always be locked firmly in posi-
tion. Loose connections can cause instabil-
ity and result in inaccurate cutting.
–
Only install and remove the power tool
in transport position (see description
in the operating instructions accom-
panying your compound mitre saw).
Otherwise the centre of gravity of the pow-
er tool may prevent you from holding the
machine safely.
–
Make sure that long and heavy work-
pieces do not disrupt the equilibrium
of the base frame.
Always support the
free end of all long, heavy workpieces.
– Do not lift or transport the appliance by the
handle using a crane or lifting gear.

the maximum load capacity.
– Make sure that the all bayonet fittings are
closed before starting work.

pecially long, heavy sections. After the ma-
chine has cut all the way through the
workpiece, the centre of gravity may shift
suddenly and cause the base frame to tip
over.
