5. Safety information

General safety information for power tools

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and technical data provided with this power tool. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" used in the safety instructions refers to mains powered power tools (with power cord) and cordless power tools (without power cord).

Workplace safety

a) Keep your workplace clean and well illuminated. Disorderliness and poorly illuminated workplaces may lead to accidents.

b) Do not operate the power tool in explosive atmospheres with inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools generate sparks which may ignite dust or vapours.

c) Keep children and other persons away from the power tool during operation. You may lose control of the tool if you are distracted.

Electric safety

a) The plug of the power tool must fit into the socket. Do not modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs together with grounded power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

c) Keep power tools away from rain or humidity. Water permeation into the power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Use the cable solely for its intended purpose. Do not use the cable to carry or hang up the power tool or to pull out the plug from the socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving machine parts. Damaged or twisted cables increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When working outdoors with power tools, only use extension cords which are suited for outdoor areas. Using extension cords suited for outdoor applications reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If the operation of power tools in a humid environment cannot be avoided, you must use a residual current circuit breaker. The use of a residual current circuit breaker will reduce the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

a) Pay attention to what you are doing and use power tools sensibly. Do not use power tools when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A single moment of inattention while using power tools may cause severe injury.

b) Wear personal protective equipment and safety goggles. Wearing personal protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety boots, a protective helmet or hearing protection according to the type and application of the power tool reduces the risk of injury.

c) Avoid starting the power tool unintentionally. Make sure that the power tool is switched off before you connect it to the mains and/or insert a battery, pick it up or carry it. If you have your finger on the switch when you carry the power tool, or if the machine is switched on when you connect it to the mains, this may result in accidents.

d) Remove adjustment tools or wrenches before switching on the power tool. Tools or wrenches in rotating machine parts may cause injury.

e) Avoid abnormal body positions. Stand securely and keep your balance at all times. By doing so, you can control the power tool more easily in unexpected situations.

f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair may be trapped in moving parts.

g) If dust extraction tools or collection bins can optionally be attached, you must make sure that they are connected and correctly used. Using dust extraction tools may reduce risks caused by dust.

h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of the tool allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

Use and treatment of the power tool

a) Do not overload the tool. Use the appropriate power tool for your type of work. With appropriate power tools, you can work better and more safely within the given power range.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. This preventive safety measure reduces the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Carefully maintain power tools and accessories. Check moving parts for proper function and smooth running, and check whether there are parts which are broken or damaged to the extent that the functionality of the power tool is impaired. Have damaged parts repaired before using the power tool. Many accidents are caused by poorly-maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp edges are less likely to jam and can be guided more easily.

g) Use power tools, accessory parts, insertion tools, etc. in compliance with these instructions. Take into account the working conditions and the activity which is to be carried out. Using power tools for applications other than those intended may cause dangerous situations.

h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

Service

a) Have your power tool repaired by qualified specialists only, and always use original spare parts for repair. This is to maintain the safety of the power tool.

Warning! This electric tool generates an electromagnetic field during operation. This field can impair active or passive medical implants under certain conditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with medical implants consult with their physician and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operating the electric tool.

Safety instructions for mitre saws

a) Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand, you must always keep your hand at least 100 mm from either side of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are too small to be securely clamped or held by hand. If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there is an increased risk of injury from blade contact.

b) The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or held against both the fence and the table. Do not feed the workpiece into the blade or cut "freehand" in any way. Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown at high speeds, causing injury.

c) Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the saw through the workpiece. To make a cut, raise the saw head and pull it out over the workpiece without cutting, start the motor, press the saw head down and push the saw through the workpiece. Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on top of the workpiece and violently throw the blade assembly towards the operator.

d) Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting either in front or behind the saw blade. Supporting the workpiece "cross handed" i.e. holding the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa is very dangerous.

e) Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer than 100 mm from either side of the saw blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other reason while the blade is spinning. The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.

f) Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain that there is no gap between the workpiece, fence and table along the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift and may cause binding on the spinning saw blade while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece.

g) Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the workpiece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with high speed.

h) Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.

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 a workpiece that is 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 can cause the blade to bind or the workpiece to 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 the mitre saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack. 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 the saw head down and wait for the blade to stop before removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.

r) Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut or when releasing the switch before the saw head is completely in the down position. The braking action of the saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.

General maintenance measures

Wipe chips and dust off the machine from time to time using a cloth. In order to extend the service life of the tool, oil the rotary parts once monthly. Do not oil the motor.

When cleaning the plastic do not use corrosive products. Cleaning the moving saw blade guard safety device (5) Always check the saw blade guard for debris before using the machine. Remove old sawdust and splinters using a brush or similar tool.

Replacing the table insert Danger!

With a damaged table insert (10) there is a risk of small parts getting stuck between table insert and saw blade, blocking the saw blade.

Immediately replace damaged table inserts!

1. Remove screws at table insert. If required, turn rotary table and incline saw head to be able to reach the screws.
2. Remove table insert.
3. Install new table insert.
4. Tighten the screws at table insert.

Brush inspection (fig. 19)

Check the carbon brushes after the first 50 operating hours with a new machine, or when new brushes have been fitted. After carrying out the first check, repeat the check every 10 operating hours.

If the carbon is worn to a length of 6 mm, or if the spring or contact wire are burned or damaged, it is necessary to replace both brushes. If the brushes are found to be usable following removal, it is possible to reinstall them.

When servicing the carbon brushes, open the two latches counterclockwise (as shown in figure 19). Then remove the carbon brushes. Replace the carbon brushes in the reverse order.
