3.1 Specified conditions of use

This compound mitre saw is suitable forcutting wood, plastics and non-ferrousmetals (no hard or hardened metals).

Do not cut round stock transverse to itslongitudinal axis without suitable jigs orfixtures. The rotating saw blade couldturn the workpiece.

When sawing thin stock layed on edge,a suitable guide must be used for firmsupport.

Any other use is not as specified. Usenot as specified, alteration of the saw oruse of parts that are not approved by theequipment manufacturer, can causeunforeseeable damage!

3.2 General safety informa-tion

� Danger! A sliding compound mitre saw is

a power tool which can, due to operatorcarelessness, cause severe personalinjury, hence it is strongly recommendedyou read and observe:

• these instructions, particularly thespecial safety information in therespective chapters;

• the safety information in theenclosed red booklet;

• the relevant guidelines or regula-tions for the prevention of accidentspertaining to the use of mitre saws,where applicable.

Keep all documents, supplied with thesaw, for future reference.

The mitre saw shall only be started andoperated by persons familiar with mitresaws and who are at any time aware ofthe dangers associated with the opera-tion of such tool.

Persons under 18 years of age shall usethis saw only under the supervision of aninstructor in the course of their voca-tional training.

The following residual risks do principallyexist with mitre saws and can not, evenby employing safety devices, com-pletely eliminated:

− Hazard generated by environmen-tal conditions: Do not operate the mitre saw in rainor damp environment. Ensure suffi-cient lighting. Do not operate themitre saw near inflammable liquidsor gases.

3. Safety

− Hazard to other persons in thework area: Keep bystanders, particularly chil-dren, out of the danger zone.

− Hazard generated by machinefaults: Check the mitre saw for damagebefore any use. Do not operate thesaw with a faulty part. Replace dam-aged saw blades and kerf platesimmediately.

− Hazard generated by an unstablestand of the mitre saw:Use suitable workpiece supportswhen cutting long stock. Preventadverse body positions. Ensure firmfooting and keep your balance at alltimes.

− Hazard generated by overloadingthe mitre saw: Use the mitre saw only within its lim-its. Use mitre saw only as specified.

− Hazard generated by tools left onor in the mitre saw:Before any starting, check to seethat no tools are left on or in themitre saw (e.g. the retention pin forblocking the saw spindle).

− Risk of injury by kickback of thesaw (the saw blade gets caught inthe workpiece, kicking the saw-head up all of a sudden): Cut thin or thin-walled workpiecesonly with fine-toothed saw blades.Always use sharp saw blades. If indoubt, check workpiece for inclusionof foreign matter (e.g. nails orscrews).

− Risk of injury by touching therotating saw blade: Always keep sufficient distance tothe saw blade. Switch the mitre sawoff if not in use.

− Danger! Drawing-in/trapping haz-ard! Take care that no parts of the bodyor clothing can get caught anddrawn in by the rotating saw blade(do not wear neck ties and gar-ments with wide sleeves; containlong hair with a hairnet).

− Risk of injury by touching the sawblade at standstill: Wear gloveswhen changing blades.

− Risk of injury by inhaling wooddust: Dust of certain timber species (e.g.oak, beech, ash) can cause cancerwhen inhaled. Use a suitable dustcollector: − air flow volume ≥ 550 m3/h; − vacuum at the mitre saw’s suc-

tion port ≥ 740 Pa; − air speed at the mitre saw’s suc-

tion port ≥ 20 m/s.

7. Put on the outer blade flange (41) – The two flats must fit onto the flats ofthe saw spindle!

8. Turn in the arbor bolt (40) (left-handthread!) and tighten fingertight withopen end spanner SW 13. To lock the saw blade use the reten-tion pin (39).

� Danger!− Do not extend arbor bolt tighte-

ning wrench.

− Do not tighten the arbor bolt byhitting on the wrench.

− After tightening the arbor bolt,remove the retention pin so thatthe blade can turn freely.

9. Check functioning. To do so, lowerthe sawhead: − The retractable blade guard must

clear the saw blade when thesawhead is lowered, withouttouching other parts.

− When lifting the sawhead up to itsrest position and releasing theblade guard lever, the retractableblade guard must automaticallyclose.

9.2 Kerf plate replacement

� Danger!With damaged or worn kerf

plates there is a potential danger ofsmall parts getting caught betweenkerf plate and saw blade, blocking theblade. Replace a worn kerf plate atonce!

1. Remove the fence.

2. Lift the kerf plate (44) up with ascrewdriver.

3. Fit new kerf plate.

4. Reinstall fence. Set fence exactlysquare with the saw blade beforetightening.

9.3 Mitre scale adjustmentFor the mitre scale to indicate the correctmitre angle it must be properly adjusted. To readjust:

1. Loosen all mitre scale fixing screws(45).

2. Lock rotating table in the 0° position.

3. Adjust scale position, until the 0°mark is exactly below the left edgeof the rotating table's flange.

4. Tighten all mitre scale fixing screws.

9.4 Sawhead tilt stop settingIn order to position the sawhead exactlyvertically and at 45° for bevel cuts, thesawhead tilt stops need to be set:

1. Place a try square on the table andagainst the saw blade.

2. Adjust 0° stop screw (46) until thesaw blade is in an exact verticalposition.

3. In this position, the pointer mustpoint exactly to the 0° mark:If necessary, loosen the fixingscrews of the angle scale or pointerrespectively, adjust the position ofeither angle scale or pointer asrequired and tighten fixing screwsagain.

4. Adjust the 45° stop screw (47) like-wise, using a 45° mitre square.

9.5 Saw cleaningRemove chips and saw dust with brushor vacuum cleaner from:

− setting devices;

− operating elements;

− motor vent openings;

− space below the kerf plates.

9.6 Saw storage

� Danger! Store saw so that

− it can not be started by unauthori-zed persons and

− nobody can get hurt.

Caution!Do not store saw unprotected

outdoors or in damp environment.

9.7 Maintenance

Before switching on Visual check of power cable and powercable plug for damage; if necessaryhave damaged parts replaced by a qual-ified electrician.

Functional test of safety devices (retract-able blade guard, sawhead lock).

Visual check to see that dust spout isfree from saw dust and chips (whenworking without dust collection).

Monthly (if used daily) Clean guide elements for saw adjust-ments with vacuum or brush and apply alight coat of oil.

• Use roller supports on both sides ofthe saw when cutting long stock.

• When cutting a warped or twistedboard, place it with the outside ofthe curve against the fence.

• To simplify repetitive cut-off workuse a stock stop (optional acces-sory).

• Keep surfaces of rotating table andsaw base clean – in particular,remove resin residue with a suitablecleaning and maintenance spray(optional accessory).

A Danger when sawing small cutoffs!

The fence has a V-shaped relief toaccommodate the saw blade when it istilted for bevel cuts from between 0° to45°. With small cutoffs there is a risk ofthe cutoffs being picked up by the sawblade and hurled through the V-shapedrelief.

It is therefore necessary to use awooden auxiliary fence when small cut-offs will result in a sawing operation.This auxiliary fence is to be made by theuser from a piece of suitable scrap.

This auxiliary fence is attached to thefence with screws and is cut when theworkpiece is cut:

For each bevel angle a relevant auxiliaryfence must be used.
