1. Declaration of Conformity
We, being solely responsible: hereby declare that
these crosscut and mitre saws, identified by type
and serial number *1), meet all relevant
requirements of directives *2) and standards *3).
Technical documents for *4) - see page 4.
2. Specified Use
The mitre saw is suited for longitudinal and cross
cuts, inclined cuts, mitre cuts and double mitre
cuts.
Only materials for which the respective saw blade
is suited may be machined (approved saw blades
see chapter 12. Accessories).
The permissible dimensions of the stock have to
be adhered to (see chapter 16. Technical
Specifications).
Workpieces with round or irregular cross-section
(such as firewood) must not be cut, as they
cannot be held securely during the cutting
process. When sawing a thin workpiece laid on its
edge, a suitable guide must be used for firm
support.
Any other use does not comply with the intended
purpose. Unspecified use, modification of the
device or use of parts that have not been tested
and approved by the manufacturer can cause
unforeseeable damage!
Where applicable, follow the legal directives or
regulations for the prevention of accidents.
3. General Safety Instructions
For your own protection and for the
protection of your electrical tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING - Reading the operating
instructions will reduce the risk of injury.
Pass on your power tool only together with these
documents.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING - Read all safety warnings and
instructions. 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!
3.1 Work Area Safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
3.2 Electrical Safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
3.3 Personal Safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust extraction can reduce dust-
related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
use of tools allow you to become complacent
and ignore tool safety principles. A careless
action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
3.4 Power Tool Use and Care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the tool before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children. 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.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories with
care. Check for misalignment or binding 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories, tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions.
Take into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
a) 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.
4. Special Safety Instructions
a) Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or
wood-like products, they cannot be used to
cut ferrous materials such as bars, rods,
studs etc. Abrasive dust causes blockage of
movable parts such as the lower guard. Sparks
from abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard,
the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Never reach behind the fence when the
saw blade is rotating. Do not undercut a
safety distance of 100 mm between the hand
and the rotating saw blade (applies to both
sides of the saw blade, e.g. when removing
wood scraps). The proximity of the spinning saw
blade to your hand may not be obvious and you
may be seriously injured.
f) Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If
the workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it
with the outside bowed face toward the
fence. Always make certain that there is no
gap between the workpiece, fence and table
along the line of the cut. Bent or warped
workpieces can twist or shift and may cause
binding on the spinning saw blade while cutting.
There should be no nails or foreign objects in the
workpiece.
g) Do not use the saw until the table is clear
of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the
workpiece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood
or other objects that contact the revolving blade
can be thrown with high speed.
h) Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked
multiple workpieces cannot be adequately
clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or
shift during cutting.
