it frees both hands to operate thetool.
13 . Do notoverreach.
ʵ Keep proper footing and balance at alltimes.
14 . Maintain tools withcare.
ʵ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tools periodically and if damaged have
them repaired by an authorized service facility. Keep handles and switches dry, clean and
free from oil andgrease.
15 . Disconnecttools.
ʵ When not in use, before servicing and when changing accessories such as blades, bits and
cutters, disconnect tools from the powersupply.
16 . Remove adjusting keys andwrenches.
ʵ Form the habit of checking to see that adjusting keys and wrenches are removed from the
tool before operating thetool.
17 . Avoid unintentionalstarting.
ʵ Do not carry the tool with a finger on the switch. Be sure that the tool is in the “off”
position before connecting to the powersupply.
18 . Use outdoor extensionleads.
ʵ Before use, inspect the extension cable and replace if damaged. When the tool is used
outdoors, use only extension cords intended for outdoor use and markedaccordingly.
19 . Stayalert.
ʵ Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the tool when you are
tired or under the influence of drugs oralcohol.
20 . Check for damagedparts.
ʵ Before use, carefully check the tool and power supply to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual.
Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service centre. Do not use the tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off. Never attempt any repairsyourself.
WARNING! The use of any accessory or attachment or performance of any operation
with this tool other than those recommended in this instruction manual may present a
risk of personalinjury.
21 . Have your tool repaired by a qualifiedperson.
ʵ This electric tool complies with relevant safety rules. Repairs should only be carried out
by qualified persons using original spare parts; otherwise this may result in considerable
danger to theuser.
Additional Safety Rules for Mitre Saws
• The machine is provided with a special configured power supply cord which can only be
replaced by the manufacturer or its authorised serviceagent.
• Do not use the saw to cut other materials than those recommended by themanufacturer.
• Do not operate the machine without guards in position, or if guards do not function or are not
maintainedproperly.
• Ensure that the arm is securely fixed when performing bevelcuts.
• Keep the floor area around the machine level, well-maintained and free of loose materials,
e.g., chips and cut-offs.
• Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe the maximum speed mark on the sawblade.
• Select the correct blade for the material to becut.
• Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles are tight before starting anyoperation.
• Never place either hand in the blade area when the saw is connected to the electrical
powersource.
• Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer than 100mm 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
seriouslyinjured.
• Never attempt to stop a machine in motion rapidly by jamming a tool or other means against
the blade; serious accidents canoccur.
• Before using any accessory consult the instruction manual. The improper use of an accessory
can causedamage.
• Use a holder or wear gloves when handling a saw blade or roughmaterial.
• Ensure that the saw blade is mounted correctly beforeuse.
• Make sure that the blade rotates in the correctdirection.
• Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than recommended. For the proper blade
rating refer to the technical data . Use only the blades specified in this manual, complying
with EN 847-1.
• Do consider applying specially designed noise-reductionblades.
• Do not use HIGH SPEED STEELblades.
• Do not use cracked or damaged sawblades.
• Do not use any abrasive or diamonddiscs.
• Never use your saw without the kerfplate.
• Before each cut ensure that the machine isstable.
• Raise the blade from the kerf in the workpiece prior to releasing theswitch.
• Do not wedge anything against the fan to hold the motorshaft.
• The blade guard on your saw will automatically raise when the head up-lock release lever is
pushed and the arm is brought down; it will lower over the blade as the arm israised.
• Never raise the blade guard manually unless the saw is switched off. The guard can be raised
by hand when installing or removing saw blades or for inspection of thesaw.
• Check periodically that the motor air slots are clean and free ofchips.
• Replace the kerf plate when worn. Refer to service parts listincluded.
• Disconnect the machine from the mains before carrying out any maintenance work or when
changing theblade.
• Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work when the machine is still running and the
head is not in the upperposition.
• If you use an LED to indicate the cutting line, make sure that the LED is of class 2 according
to EN62471. Do not replace an LED diode with a different type. If damaged, have the LED
repaired by an authorised repairagent.
• The front section of the guard is louvered for visibility while cutting. Although the louvers
dramatically reduce flying debris, they are openings in the guard and safety glasses should be
worn at all times when viewing through thelouvers.
• Connect the saw to a dust collection device when sawing wood. Always consider factors
which influence exposure of dust such as:
ʵ type of material to be machined (chip board produces more dust than wood);
ʵ sharpness of the saw blade;
ʵ correct adjustment of the saw blade;
ʵ dust extractor with air velocity not less than 20m/s.
• Ensure that the local extraction as well as hoods, baffles and chutes are properlyadjusted.
• Please be aware of the following factors influencing exposure to noise:
ʵ use saw blades designed to reduce the emitted noise;
ʵ use only well sharpened sawblades.
• Machine maintenance shall be conductedperiodically.
• Provide adequate general or localizedlighting.
• Ensure that any spacers and spindle rings are suitable for the purpose as stated in thismanual.
• Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other parts of the workpiece from the cutting area while
the machine is running and the saw head is not in the upperposition.
• Never cut workpieces shorter than 200mm.
• Without additional support the machine is designed to accept the maximum workpiece size
for cross-cutting:
ʵ Maximum height: 112mm
ʵ Maximum width: 345mm
ʵ Maximum length: 600mm
ʵ Longer workpiece needs to be supported by suitable additional support, e.g. DE7023-XJ or
DE7033-XJ legstand. Always clamp the workpiecesafely.
• In case of an accident or machine failure, immediately turn the machine off and disconnect
machine from the powersource.
• Report the failure and mark the machine in suitable form to prevent other people from using
the defectivemachine.
• When the saw blade is blocked due to abnormal feed force during cutting, turn the machine
off and disconnect it from power supply. Remove the workpiece and ensure that the saw
blade runs free. Turn the machine on and start new cutting operation with reduced feedforce.
• Never cut light alloy, especiallymagnesium.
• Whenever the situation allows, mount the machine to a bench using bolts with a diameter of
8 mm and 80 mm inlength.
