Protecting yourself from laser radiation:

Note: This product is a Class 1 Laser / Protection Class III device. The radiation output under circum- stances of proper use does not present any danger.

JThe chop and mitre saw is fitted with a laser. Do not replace this laser with one of another type. Repairs must be carried out only by one of our authorised service partners.

JDo not look directly into the laser beam or into the opening from which it is emitted.

JNever direct the laser beam on to reflective sur- faces or at people or animals. Even a brief look into a laser beam can damage your eyes.

JNever open the laser unit housing.

To avoid the danger of injury, burning and dangers to your health:

JAlways check the device first under no-load conditions. If you notice any strange noises or vibrations from the device, switch it off immedi- ately and pull the plug out of the mains socket. Never use the device if it shows any of these types of problems. Take it to be checked and if necessarily repaired by an electrician.

JUse the machine only on the materials given in the section on proper use.

JCheck that the saw motor unit Q is securely attached.

JUse the machine only if the safety equipment is properly positioned in its place as intended, the machine is in good condition and has been properly maintained.

JAlways keep the mains lead away from the working area of the machine and lead away the mains lead from the rear.

JLook after your health – wear ear protectors, safety glasses

and a breathing / dust mask.

JNever hold the saw at the rear. Remove sawing

waste, parts of workpieces or clamped objects only when the machine’s mains plug is removed from the mains socket and the saw has come to a standstill.

JDo not cut workpieces too small. Your hand must always be at least 10 cm away from the saw blade.

JDo not attempt to saw extremely small work- pieces.

JEnsure that your work area is well lit (250 - 300 Lux). Do not use the device in places where there is a danger of fire or explosion, for example near inflammable liquids or gases.

JIf the table insert G is damaged have it replaced immediately.

Danger! If the table insert is damaged it could lead to the danger of small objects blocking the saw blade by becoming trapped between the table insert G and the saw blade. If the table insert is damaged have it replaced immediately by our customer service department.

To work safely:

JUse the machine only for the purposes indicated and within the stipulated performance limits. Do not overload the machine.

JKeep the handle clean, dry and free of oil and grease.

JEnsure that the automatic blade guard R is functioning properly and can move freely. Never clamp the automatic blade guard so that it re- mains open.

JAlways select a saw blade that is suitable for the material you intend to cut.

JSupport longer workpieces in such a way that they are at the same level as the surface of the saw table T.

JSecure the machine after use with the transport lock o.

JUse the screw clamps (b) or other clamping devices so that an awkwardly shaped workpiece cannot rotate or move whilst you are sawing it. The workpiece must be firmly clamped against the base of the table and the stop plate so that there are no gaps between the turntable and workpiece or between the stop plate and the workpiece.
