i) Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed
on a level, firm work surface before use. A
level and firm work surface reduces the risk of the
mitre saw becoming unstable.
j)
Plan your work. Every time you change the
bevel or mitre angle setting, make sure the
adjustable fence is set correctly to support
the workpiece and will not interfere with the
blade or the guarding system. Without turning
the tool "ON" and with no workpiece on the table,
move the saw blade through a complete
simulated cut to assure there will be no
interference or danger of cutting the fence.
k)
Provide adequate support such as table
extensions, saw horses, etc. for workpieces
that are wider or longer than the table top.
Workpieces longer or wider than the mitre saw
table can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-
off piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower
guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.
l)
Do not use another person as a substitute
for a table extension or as additional support.
Unstable support for the workpiece may lead to
binding of the blade. The workpiece can also shift
during the cutting operation pulling you and the
helper into the spinning blade.
m)
The cut-off piece must not be jammed or
pressed by any means against the spinning
saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops,
the cut-off piece could get wedged against the
blade and thrown violently.
n)
Always use a clamp or a fixture designed
to properly support round material such as
rods or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll
while being cut, causing the blade to "bite" and
pull the work with your hand into the blade.
o)
Let the blade reach full speed before
contacting the workpiece. This will reduce the
risk of the workpiece being thrown.
p)
If the workpiece or blade becomes
jammed, turn off the mitre saw. Wait for all
moving parts to stop and disconnect the plug
from the power source. Then work to free the
jammed material. Continued sawing with a
jammed workpiece could cause loss of control or
damage to the mitre saw.
q)
After finishing the cut, release the switch,
hold down the saw head and wait for the
blade to stop before removing the cut-off
piece. Reaching with your hand near the coasting
blade is dangerous.
r) When using additional guides
(23) , always
ensure that they are fastened first and that their
fastening screws are tight.
s)
Plan your work. Every time you change the
bevel or mitre angle setting, make sure the
adjustable guide (10) and the additional
guides (23) (if fitted), are set correctly to
support the workpiece and will not interfere
with the blade or the guarding system.
Without turning the tool "ON" and with no
workpiece on the table, move the saw blade
through a complete simulated cut to assure there
will be no interference or danger of cutting the
guide or the additional guides (23) .

under the supervision of people with previous
experience.
– The manufacturer bears no liability for damage
caused by non-compliance with these operating
instructions.
Information in these operating instructions is
designated as shown below:
Danger!
Risk of personal injury or environ-
mental damage.
Risk of electric shock!
Risk of personal injury from electric
shock.
Drawing-in/trapping hazard!
Risk of personal injury by body parts
or clothing being drawn into the ro-
tating saw blade.
Caution!
Risk of material damage.
Note:
Additional information.

Please also observe the special safety
instructions in the respective chapters.

Where applicable, follow the legal directives or
regulations for the prevention of accidents.
General hazards!

Consider environmental conditions:

Use suitable workpiece supports when cutting
long stock.

The saw shall only be started and operated by
persons familiar with circular saws and who are
at any time aware of the dangers associated
with the operation of such tools.
Persons under 18 years of age shall use this
tool only in the course of their vocational
training, under the supervision of an instructor.

Keep bystanders, particularly children, out of
the danger zone. Do not permit other persons to
touch the tool or power cable while it is running.

Avoid overheating of the saw teeth.

When sawing plastic, avoid melting of the
plastic.
Risk of personal injury and crushing
by moving parts!
 Do not operate the tool without installed guards.

Always keep sufficient distance to the saw
blade. Use suitable feeding aids, if necessary.
Keep sufficient distance to driven components
when operating the power tool.
 Wait for the saw blade to come to a complete
stop before removing cutoffs, scrap, etc. from
the work area.

Cut only workpieces of dimensions that allow for
safe and secure holding while cutting.

Use clamping devices or a vice to hold the
workpiece. It is held safer by these devices than
by your hand.

Do not attempt to stop the saw blade by pushing
the workpiece against its side.
 Disconnect the mains plug before starting any
setting, maintenance or repair work.

Disconnect the mains plug if the tool is not used.
Cutting hazard, even with the cutting
tool at standstill!

Wear gloves when changing cutting tools.
 Store saw blade in such manner that nobody will
get hurt.
Danger from kickback of the saw head
(saw blade gets caught in the workpiece and
the saw head suddenly kicks back)!
 Select a saw blade suited for the material to be
cut.

Keep the handle tight. When the saw blade
enters the workpiece, the risk of kickback is
particularly high.
 Cut thin or thin-walled workpieces only with fine-
toothed saw blades.

Always use sharp saw blades. Replace
damaged saw blades immediately. There is an
increased risk of kickback if a blunt sawtooth
gets caught in the workpiece's surface.
 Do not jam workpieces.

If in doubt, check workpiece for inclusion of
foreign matter (e.g. nails or screws).
 Never cut several workpieces at the same time
– and also no bundles containing several
individual pieces. Risk of personal injury if
individual pieces are caught by the saw blade
uncontrolled.
Drawing-in/trapping hazard!
 Ensure that during operation no parts of the
body or clothing can be caught and drawn in by
rotating components ( no ties no gloves, no
clothes with wide sleeves; contain long hair with
a hairnet).

Never cut workpieces to which ropes, cords,
strings, cables or wires are attached or which
contain such materials.
Hazard generated by insufficient
personal protection gear!

Wear hearing protection.
 Wear protective goggles.

Wear dust mask.

Wear suitable work clothes.

Wear non-slip footwear.
 Wear gloves when handling saw blades and
rough tools. Carry saw blades in a container.
Risk of injury by inhaled wood dust!
 Work only with a suitable dust collector attached
to the saw. The dust extraction unit must comply
with the values stated in chapter 16..
Reducing dust exposure:
 Some dust created by using this power tool may
contain chemicals known to cause cancer,
allergic reaction, respiratory disease, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some of
these substances include: lead (in paint
containing lead), additives used for wood
treatment (chromate, wood preservatives),
some wood types (such as oak or beech dust).

The risk from these exposures depends on how
long you or bystanders are being exposed.
 Do not let particles enter the body.

Do the following to reduce exposure to these
substances: ensure good ventilation of the
workplace and wear appropriate protective
equipment, such as respirators able to filter
microscopically small particles.
 Observe the relevant guidelines for your
material, staff, application and place of
application (e.g. occupational health and safety
regulations, disposal).

Collect the generated particles at the source,
avoid deposits in the surrounding area.
 Use the supplied dust collection unit and a
suitable extraction unit. In this way, fewer
particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.

Reduce dust exposure with the following
measures:
– Do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby
persons or on dust deposits.
– Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers
– Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and
keep clean using a vacuum cleaner Sweeping
or blowing stirs up dust
– Vacuum or wash protective clothing Do not
blow, beat or brush.
Hazard generated by modification of
the machine or use of parts not tested and
approved by the equipment manufacturer!
