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 power point. Never modify the plug in any way. Never use an adapter with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets 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 power point. 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 jewellery. 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 the power tool 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 authorised service centre or other qualified personnel to ensure safe use.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING BLADES

• Only use insertion tools if you are familiar with them.
• Pay attention to the maximum permitted speed. The maximum speed specified on the tool being used must not be exceeded. Keep within the speed range, if one is specified.
• Pay attention to the direction of the motor, the blade and the gear.
• Do not use any tools that have cracks. Remove any cracked tools. It is not permitted to repair these.
• Remove dirt, grease, oil and water from the clamp’s surfaces.
• Do not use loose reduction rings or equivalent to reduce the hole in saw blades.
• Make sure that the fixed reduction rings are the same diameter as the tool they are secured with, and at least 1/3 of the average diameter.
• Check that fixed reduction rings are parallel with each other.
• Handle insertion tools with care. These are best stored in their original packaging or in special containers. Wear safety gloves to improve your grip and further reduce the risk of damage.
• Check that all safety devices are properly secured by using tool inserts.
• Make sure that the tool setting you are using corresponds to the power tool’s technical requirements and is properly secured.
• Only use the supplied blade for sawing wood, never for working on metal.

REDUCTION OF NOISE AND VIBRATIONS

• 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.

TECHNICAL DATA

Always wear ear protection.
The declared values for vibration and noise, which have been measured according to a standardised test method, can be used to compare different tools with each other and for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The measurement values have been determined in accordance with EN 62841-31:2014.

WARNING!
The actual vibration and noise level when using tools may differ from the specified maximum value, depending on how the tool is used and the material. It is therefore necessary to determine which safety precautions are required to protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in actual operating conditions (taking into account all stages of the work cycle, e.g. the time when the tool is switched off and when it is idling, in addition to the start- up time).

RESET BUTTON (OVERLOAD PROTECTION)

The product has a button to reset the overload protection. If the motor is overloaded or the voltage is too low, the motor is stopped automatically by the overload protection. To prevent overloading the motor, reduce the load on the motor and/or check the voltage. Allow the motor to cool, press the reset button and restart the product. If the product does not start, wait for 5 minutes and try to start it again.

USING THE PUSHER

The pusher is used to feed the workpiece past the blade when rip sawing. Always use the pusher for non-through sawing and when rip sawing thin workpieces to avoid your hands coming closer than 7.5 cm to the blade. The pusher must be thinner than the workpiece and have a 90° indent in one end and a suitable grip on the other end.
FIG. 17

CHANGING THE SAW DEPTH

The depth of the blade should be adjusted so that the outer tips protrude 3 to 6 mm over the workpiece, while the bottom of the gaps between the teeth should be below the top surface of the workpiece. Adjust the depth of the saw blade by turning the height adjuster knob clockwise or anticlockwise.
FIG. 18

ADJUSTING THE SAW BLADE ANGLE (BEVEL ANGLE)

The angle of the blade can be adjusted from 90° to 45°.

NOTE:
A cut with a 90° angle has a bevel angle of 0° and a cut with a 45° angle has a bevel angle of 45°.

1. Pull out the plug.
2. Release the lock lever for the bevel angle.
3. Set the bevel angle to 45° by moving the knob for the depth/bevel angle setting to the right.

USING THE MITRE POINTER

The mitre pointer ensures a high degree of precision when mitre sawing. It is recommended to saw sample test pieces for very fine tolerances. There are two slots for the mitre pointer, one on each side of the blade. Either of the slots can be used for cross-cutting with a bevel angle of 90°. When bevel sawing (the blade at an angle to the saw table) the mitre pointer should be placed in the slot on the right side, so that the blade angles away from the pointer and your hands.
