use a damp cloth for cleaning.
38. Do not use saw blades which are damaged or
deformed.
39. Replace table insert when worn.
40. Use only saw blades recommended by the
manufacturer.
41. Take care that the selection of the saw blade
depends on the material to be cut.
42. Connect circular saws to a dust-collecting
device when sawing.
43. Use and correct adjustment of the riving knife
44. Use and correct adjustment of the upper saw
blade quard.
45 The dust that is emitted when sawing certain
types of wood can be toxic, i.s. oak, birch, ash,
beech and fibreboard. Certain dust, from
tropical wood types such as rosewood, coco
bolo and afzelia, cause cancer when breathed
in regularly. Ensure therefore that you have
good dust suction installed with a device that
fulfils the following requirements:
•
Tube must fit perfectly on the connection
element
•
Suction volume must be larger than 550 m3
per hour
•
Vacuum at connection more than 740 Pa
•
Air speed at connection more than 20 meters/
second
Ensure that the least possible wood dust is
released in the atmosphere. WIPE wood dust
away (do not blow away with pressured air),
repair leaks in the tubes and ensure
appropriate ventilation.
Do not use saw blades which are damaged or
deformed.
Always clamp or press the workpiece firmly
against the saw guide, before you carry out
the process.
Do not modify the machine; unauthorised
parts have not been tested and approved.
Mainly use:
•
No unauthorised saw blades
•
No unauthorised safety systems 7
•
Always use the supplied safety systems!
•
Always use a cavity blade for scalloping.
46 Wear ear protectors. The following facors can
be of influence in producing noise
•
The kind of material to be cut
•
The sawblade
•
The force of which the workpiece is fed
Loud noise can lead to hearing damage.
Ensure that you wear ear protectors.
Ensure that the cavity blade is not bent,

this can also cause noise.
47 Residual risks
The following risks are inherent to the use of
these machines:
•
Injuries caused by touching the rotating parts
•
Injuries caused by disruption of the cutting
blade
•
These risks are most evident:
•
Within the range of operation
•
Within the range of the rotating machine parts
In spite of the application of the relevant
safetyregulations and the implementation of
safety devices, certain residual risks cannot
be avoided. These are:
•
Impairment of hearing.
•
Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered
parts of the rotating cutting blade.
•
Risk of injury when changing the blade.
•
Risk of squeezing fingers when opening the
guards.
3. Assembly and accessories
Installation of the mitre saw
•
Place one extension piece on the right-hand
side of the machine and the other extension
piece on the left-hand side of the machine.
•
Loosen the locking bolts and slide the guide
rods in the openings.
•
Tighten the locking bolts again.
•
Place the work piece clamp on the left or right
side of the machine.
•
Hold the handgrip and move the saw slightly
downwards and then pull the pin out slightly so
that the machine comes free.
Note: Never use the mitre saw without the
extension pieces supplied. Make sure that they
are correctly mounted.
Mounting the support bracket.
•
Mount the support bracket into the slot in the
rear of the base.
•
Tighten the screw to secure the support
bracket.
Installation of the machine on a workbench or
on the subframe.
This machine is a stationary machine and for
safety reasons must always be firmly installed and
not used for mobile applications.
