SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

MEEC-TOOLS-009460-150- W-Crosscut-Mitre-
Saw-5

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 PowerPoint. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or tangled power cords increase the risk of electric shocks.

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. Remember that a fraction of a second of inattention or negligence 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 affectfunctionality. 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.

SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR MITRE SAWS

All the warning symbols on the power tool must be clearly visible.
Put nothing on top of the tool. If the tool tips over or if you touch the saw blade this can lead to serious injury.
Check that the blade guard is working properly and can move freely.
Never clamp the guard open.
Never clear away pieces of wood or sawdust from the saw while it is running. Put the saw arm in its rest position and switch off the tool with the power switch.
Only apply the saw blade against the work piece when the saw is running. Otherwise there is a risk of kickback if the blade jams in the workpiece.
Keep the handles clean, dry and free from oil and grease. Greasy or oily handles are slippery and can cause you to lose control.
Remove tools and sawdust from the surface of the workspace on the power tool before sawing. Only the workpiece should be there. Small pieces of wood and other objects that come into contact with the rotating blade can be thrown towards the operator at high speed.
Remove sawdust and other debris from the floor. You can slip on it or stumble.
Always firmly secure the workpiece. It is safer to secure the workpiece with a clamp than to hold it with your hand. Do not saw workpieces that are not firmly secured. Otherwise your hand will come too near the rotating saw blade.
Only use the power tool for the type of material it is intended for. Otherwise it can overheat.
If the blade fastens, switch off the tool and hold the workpiece firmly until the blade has stopped rotating. To avoid kickback, do not attempt to loosen the workpiece before the blade has stopped. Find out why the blade has stuck and rectify the problem before using the tool again.
Never use blunt, cracked, bent or damaged blades. Blades with blunt or skew teeth result in narrow cuts. This increases the friction, the risk of the blade getting stuck and the risk of kickback.
Always use saw blades of the right size and with the right mounting hole (e.g. star-shaped or round). Blades that do not fit properly on the saw quickly lose their roundness and become difficult to control. Never use high-speed steel (HSS) blades.
This type of blade breaks easily.
Do not touch the blade after sawing until it has cooled. The blade gets very hot during the sawing.
Never use the tool without the insert plate. If the insert plate is defective, replace it. A fault on the insert plate can result in an injury from the saw blade.
Check the power cord at regular intervals. A damaged cord must be replaced by an authorised service centre. Replace the extension cord if it is damaged.
This maintains safety.
Always store the power tool safely.
The storage space must be dry and lockable so that the tool is not damaged and so no unauthorised person can access it.
Do not leave the tool unsupervised until it has come to a complete stop. Cutting tools that are still moving can cause injury.
Do not use the tool if the power cord is damaged. Do not touch a damaged cord, and pull out the plug if the cord is damaged during the work. Damaged power cords increase the risk of electric shock..

BOTTOM BLADE GUARD

Never use the product without the bottom blade guard. If the bottom blade guard is damaged or not working properly, switch off the product immediately and pull out the plug. Do not use the product until it has been repaired. Check at regular intervals that the bottom guard is working properly. Clean the bottom guard when necessary with damp cloth.

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.

LASER

Do not look directly at the laser beam.
Never point the laser beam at reflective surfaces, people or animals. Even low power laser beams can damage the eyes.
Any deviation from the work method described here can result in a risk of dangerous exposure to radiation.
Never open the laser module.
It is not permitted to modify the laser in any way to increase the power of the laser.
The manufacturer cannot assume liability for any damage resulting from failure to follow the safety instructions.

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 62841-3-9:2015

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 being processed. 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).
