SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Read all warnings, safety instructions and other instructions. Failure to follow all the instructions and safety instructions can result in the risk of electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury. Save these instructions and safety instructions for future reference.

WORK AREA

  • Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Dark and cluttered work areas increase the risk of accidents and injuries.
  • Do not use power tools in explosive environments, such as in the vicinity of] flammable liquids, gas or dust. Power tools produce sparks that can ignite dust and fumes.
  • Keep children and onlookers at a safe distance when using power tools. You can lose control of the tool if you are distracted.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

  • The plug on the power tool must match the PowerPoint. Never modify the plug inany way. Never use an adapter with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching power points reduce the risk of electric shock.
  • Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
  • Do not expose power tools to rain or moisture. There is a greater risk of electric shock if water gets into a power tool.
  • Be careful with the power cord. Never use the power cord to carry or pull the tool, or to pull out the plug from the PowerPoint.
  • Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving parts. Damaged or tangled power cords increase the risk of electric shock.
  • If using the tool outdoors, only use an extension cord approved for outdoor use.
  • Cords intended for outdoor use reduce the risk of electric shock.
  • If it is absolutely necessary to use power tools in damp conditions, use a mains connection protected by a residual current device (RDC). Using an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

  • Stay alert. Pay attention to what you are doing, and use your common sense when working with power tools. Never use power tools if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
  • A moment of inattention when using a power tool can result in serious personal injury.
  • Use personal safety equipment. Depending on the type of tool and how it is used, safety equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets and ear protection reduce the risk of personal injury.
  • Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before inserting the battery or lifting/carrying the tool. Carrying a power tool with your finger on the switch, or connecting a tool to the mains when the switch is in the ON position, increases the risk of accidents and injuries.
  • Remove adjuster keys/spanners before switching on the power tool. Spanners or the like that are left in a rotating part of the tool can cause personal injury.
  • Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance. This ensures better control over the power tool in unexpected situations.
  • Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose-fitting clothing, jewellery and long hair can get caught in moving parts.
  • If dust extraction and dust collection equipment is available, this should be connected and used correctly. The use of such equipment can reduce the risk of dust-related problems.
  • Do not allow the fact that you are used to working with similar tools cause you to become over-confident and to disregard the safety instructions for the tool. A moment of inattention or carelessness can result in serious personal injury.

USING AND LOOKING AFTER POWER TOOLS

  • Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for the planned work. The tool does the job better and safer when used at the rate for which it was designed.
  • Do not use the tool if it cannot be switched on and off with the power switch. Power tools that cannot be controlled with the power switch are dangerous and must be repaired.
  • Pull out the plug and/or remove the battery before making any adjustments, changing accessories or putting the power tool away. These safety precautions reduce the risk of accidently starting the power tool
  • Store power tools out of the reach of children when not in use. Never allow children, or anyone who is unfamiliar with the power tool and these instructions, to use the tool. Power tools are dangerous if used by inexperienced persons.
  • Keep power tools properly maintained.
  • Check that moving parts are properly adjusted and do not jam, and that no parts are incorrectly fitted or damaged.
  • Check for other factors that could affect functionality. If the power tool is[ damaged, it must be repaired before being used again. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
  • Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
  • Use the power tool, accessories and bits etc., in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the actual working conditions and the work that is to be done. It can be dangerous to use power tools for purposes other than those for which they are intended to be used.
  • Keep handles and grips clean, dry and free from oil and grease. Greasy handles and grips make it difficult to hold the tool.

SERVICE

  • The power tool must only be serviced by qualified personnel using identical spare parts. This will ensure that the power tool remains safe to use.
  • A damaged power cord or plug must be replaced by an authorized service centre or other qualified personnel to ensure safe use.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITRE SAW

  • The product is intended for sawing wood and similar materials. Do not use product with a cutting disc for cutting iron or metal. Dust from cutting with a disc can cause moving parts, such as the bottom guard, to jam. Sparks from cutting with a disc can cause burn marks on the bottom guard, table insert and other plastic parts.

  • Secure the workpiece with clamps or the equivalent when this is possible. Make sure to keep your hands at least 100 mm from the side of the blade. Do not saw workpieces that are too small to be firmly secured. The risk of contact with the blade, and therefore serious personal injury, will increase nearer to the blade.

  • The workpiece should not move and be clamped or pressed against the fence and table. Never feed the workpiece towards the blade with your hands and never attempt to saw freehand. Loose workpieces can be thrown up very forcibly and cause personal injury.

  • The saw blade should be pressed against the workpiece. Do not pull the blade through the workpiece. To make a cut, bring up the saw head and pull it out over the workpiece. Start the motor, bring down the saw head and press the blade through the workpiece. If the blade is pulled through the workpiece it can climb up over the workpiece and whip towards the user.

  • Never put your hands across the saw line in front of or behind the blade. Holding the workpiece with crossed hands, i.e.holding the workpiece to the right of the blade with the left hand, can result in serious personal injury.

  • Never extend your hands past the fence when the blade is moving. Make sure to keep your hands at least 100 mm from the side of the blade. It can be difficult to see how near the hand is to the blade – risk of serious personal injury.

  • Carefully check the workpiece before sawing. If the workpiece is bent or twisted, secure it with the outward bent side against the fence. Always check that there is no gap between the workpiece, the fence and the table along the saw cut.
    Bent and twisted workpieces can wobble or jam, causing the saw blade to seize during the sawing. Check that there are no nails or other foreign objects in the workpiece..

  • The table should be completely cleared of tools, sawdust etc. when sawing. Chips, small pieces of wood and other items that come into contact with the rotating blade can be forcibly thrown toward the user.

  • Only saw one workpiece at once. More than one workpiece cannot be safely fastened and can cause the blade to jam or the workpieces to move during the sawing.

  • Check before use that the product is mounted or placed on a level, stable surface. A level and stable surface reduces the risk of the product becoming unstable when in use.

  • Plan the work. Every time the mitre or bevel angle is changed, check that the movable fence is correctly positioned and supports the workpiece without being in the way of the blade or guards.

  • Move the blade through a complete stroke without the workpiece and without starting the product, to check that the fence does not get in the way of the blade.

  • Use suitable supports, such as a trestle, table extension, saw trestle, table extension, roller support or equivalent for workpieces that are wider or longer than the surface of the table. Workpieces that are longer or wider than the saw table can tip over if they are not properly supported. If the sawn-off part of the workpiece tips over it can lift the lower blade guard and parts can be thrown up by the rotating blade.

  • Do not let another person hold extended parts of the workpiece. If the workpiece is not properly supported the blade can jam or cause the workpiece to move, so that you or your assistant are pulled towards the rotating blade.

  • The sawn-off part must not be pressed against the rotating blade. If the sawn-off part gets jammed, for example when using an end stop, it can be jammed against the blade and be forcibly ejected.

  • Always use a suitable clamp or attachment device for round workpieces, such as rods or pipes. Round workpieces tend to roll when cut, causing the blade to jam and pull the workpiece and hand towards the blade.

  • Allow the blade to reach maximum speed before it makes contact with the Nworkpiece. This reduces the risk of the workpiece being thrown up.

  • Switch off the product immediately if the workpiece or blade fasten or jam. Wait until all moving parts have completely stopped and pull out the plug and/or battery. The jammed material can then be released. Do not continue if the workpiece has jammed – the risk of losing control of the product and/or risk of personal injury.

  • When you have completed the cut, release the power switch, hold down the saw head and wait until the blade has stopped before removing the workpiece and the sawn-off part. Never put your hands near the blade until it has stopped– the risk of serious personal injury.

  • Keep a firm grip on the handle if the cut does not go through all of the workpieces, or if the power switch is released before the saw head has reached its lowestposition. The brake function on the product can cause the saw head to bepulled down – risk of personal injury.

WARNING:  The product generates an electromagnetic] field when in use. This field can in some] circumstances affect active or passive medical implants. If you have a medical implant] you should consult your doctor and/or the manufacturer of the medical implant before using the product to reduce the risk of serious or fatal personal injury.

MINIMISATION OF NOISE AND VIBRATION

  • Plan the work so that exposure to heavy vibrations is spread over a longer period.
  • To reduce noise and vibrations when in use, limit the time the tool is in use, and use low-power/vibration mode and suitable safety equipment.
  • Take the following precautions to minimise the risks of exposure to vibrations and/or noise:
    • Only use the tool in accordance with these instructions.
    • Check that the tool is in good condition.
    • Use accessories in good condition, and which are suitable for the purpose.
    • Keep a firm grip on the handles/ grips.
    • Maintain and lubricate the tool in accordance with these instructions.

WARNING

Read these instructions carefully before use. Wear safety glasses or a visor. Keep your hands away from the sawing area. Do not use the product unless all the safety devices are in place and working. Never saw freehand. Never stretch around the blade. Switch off the product and wait until all moving parts have completely stopped before moving the workpiece or making adjustments. If guards are moved when replacing the blade they must be reset to their original position and locked in place before using the product again. Pull out the plug before making any adjustments, changing accessories or putting the power tool away. Do not expose the product to rain or moisture. Move the carriage to the back position after sawing to reduce the risk of personal injury.
