24. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the on
position.
25. Be alert at all times, especially during
repetitive, monotonous operations. Do not be
lulled into a false sense of security. Blades
are extremely unforgiving.
26. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
27. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood,
aluminum or similar materials.
28. Connect miter saws to a dust collecting
device when sawing.
29. Select saw blades in relation to the material to
be cut.
30. Take care when slotting.
31. Replace the kerf board when worn.
32. Do not use saw blades manufactured from
high speed steel.
33. Some dust created from operation contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
lead from lead-based-painted material and,
•
arsenic and chromium from chemically-
•
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
34. To reduce the emitted noise, always be sure
that the blade is sharp and clean.
35. The operator is adequately trained in the use,
adjustment and operation of the machine.
36. Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe
the maximum speed marked on the saw blade.
37. Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other
parts of the workpiece from the cutting area
whilst the tool is running and the saw head is
not in the rest position.
38. Use only saw blades recommended by the
manufacturer which conform to EN847-1.
39. Wear gloves for handling saw blade (saw
blades shall be carried in a holder wherever
practicable) and rough material.
40. When fitted with laser, no exchange with
different type of laser is permitted. Repairs
shall only be carried out correctly.
