 If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure

these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related
hazards.

5.4

Power tool use and care

 Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct

power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

 Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that

cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

 Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.

 Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with

the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.

 Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or sticking of moving parts, breakage of parts

and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. 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 stick and are easier to control.

 Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and

in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from
intended could lead to a hazardous situation.

5.5

Service

 Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement

parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR TABLE SAWS

6.1

For both Mitre saw mode and table saw (bench saw) mode:

 Wear eye and hearing protection. Other suitable personal protective equipment should be

worn.

 NEVER wear gloves during operation except for replacing saw blades or handling rough

material before operation.

 Keep the floor area around the tool level, well maintained and free of loose materials e.g.

chips and cut-offs.

 Do not operate saw without guards and riving knife in place. Check blade guards for proper

closing before each use. Do not operate saw if blade guards do not move freely and close
instantly. Never clamp or tie the blade guards into the open position. Any irregular operation
of the blade guards should be corrected immediately.

 Clean and be careful not to damage the spindle, flanges (especially the installing surface)

and hex bolt before or when installing the blade. Damage to these parts could result in
blade breakage. Poor installation may cause vibration/ wobbling or slippage of the blade.
Use only flanges specified for this tool.

 Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Do not use saw blade

which are damaged or deformed.

 Use only saw blades recommended by the manufacturer and which conform to EN847-1,

and observe that the riving knife must not be thicker than the width of the cut by the saw
blade and not thinner than the body of the blade.

 Always use accessories recommended in this manual. Use of improper accessories such as

abrasive cut-off wheels may cause an injury.
