Wear ear and eye protection.
Faulty and/or discarded electrical or electronic apparatus have to be collected at
the appropriate recycling locations.
Before each use of the saw
Check the machine. If any part of the machine is missing, bent or in any other way unusable, or
when an electrical defect occurs, turn the machine off and take the plug out of the socket.
Replace all missing, damaged or defective parts before using the machine again.
To fix the saw blade in the slot and to prevent the piece of work from moving, follow the
instructions below.
• Choose a suitable saw blade for the work. Use the mitre saw only for sawing wood and
wood derivatives or light metal such as aluminium. Other materials can jump away or get
caught in the saw blade or give rise to other dangers.
• The arrow marked on the saw blade, which indicates the direction of rotation, must point in
the same direction as the arrow marked on the machine. The saw blade teeth must point
downwards on the front of the saw.
• Check that the saw blade is sharp, undamaged and correctly aligned. After unplugging the
machine, push the saw hood downwards. Rotate the saw blade by hand and check that it
revolves freely. Put the machine in the 45° position and check free rotation again. If the
blade touches anything it must be adjusted.
• Keep the saw blade and the clamping surface for the clamps clean.
• The saw blade flange must always be mounted with the notch tightened towards the saw
blade.
• Check that all tensioning devices and locks are secure and that no part has too much play in
it.
• Never just use your hands for sawing.
• Always press the piece of work firmly against the stop, so that it cannot tilt or turn while
sawing. No impurities must gather underneath the piece of work being sawn.
• Make sure that the piece of work cannot move after being sawn, for example because it is
not completely supported by the surface of the machine.
• For sawing pieces of work that are not supported by the full surface, use some padding or
another machine.
• Replace any worn-out table inserts.
• Only use saw blades recommended by the manufacturer (EN-847-1).
• Never use HS (High Speed) saw blades.
• Check that the sawn off bits can be removed sideways from the saw blade, otherwise they
can get caught on the blade and flung about.
• Never saw more than one piece of work at the same time.
• Be extremely careful when sawing large, very small or awkward pieces of work.
• Be careful when sawing double mitre joints.
• Use additional supports (tables, sheer-legs and the like) for long pieces of work that can tip
over and topple off the machine if they are not properly secured.
• Never use the machine to saw pieces of work that are so small that they cannot be secured
safely.
