(Note)
* mark indicates that a wood facing with the following thickness is used.
1: When using a wood facing 20 mm thick.
2: When using a wood facing 15 mm thick.
3: When using a wood facing 10 mm thick.
Intended use
The tool is intended for accurate straight and miter
cutting in wood. With appropriate saw blades, aluminum
can also be sawed.
Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can
only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are
double-insulated and can, therefore, also be used from
sockets without earth wire.
For public low-voltage distribution systems of
between 220 V and 250 V
Switching operations of electric apparatus cause voltage
fluctuations. The operation of this device under
unfavorable mains conditions can have adverse effects
to the operation of other equipment. With a mains
impedance equal or less than 0.46 Ohms it can be
presumed that there will be no negative effects. The
mains socket used for this device must be protected with
a fuse or protective circuit breaker having slow tripping
characteristics.
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITRE SAWS

1. Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or woodlike
products, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-
off wheels for cutting ferrous material such as
bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive dust causes
moving parts such as the lower guard to jam. Sparks
from abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard, the
kerf insert and other plastic parts.

2. Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever
possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand,
you must always keep your hand at least
100 mm from either side of the saw blade. Do not
use this saw to cut pieces that are too small to
be securely clamped or held by hand. If your
hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there is
an increased risk of injury from blade contact.
3. The workpiece must be stationary and clamped
or held against both the fence and the table. Do
not feed the workpiece into the blade or cut
"freehand" in any way. Unrestrained or moving
workpieces could be thrown at high speeds, causing
injury.
4. Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull
the saw through the workpiece. To make a cut,
raise the saw head and pull it out over the
workpiece without cutting, start the motor, press
the saw head down and push the saw through
the workpiece. Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to
cause the saw blade to climb on top of the
workpiece and violently throw the blade assembly
towards the operator.
5. Never cross your hand over the intended line of
cutting either in front or behind the saw blade.
Supporting the workpiece "cross handed" i.e.
holding the workpiece to the right of the saw blade
with your left hand or vice versa is very dangerous.
