If the workplace is extremely hot, humid or with a high
concentration of dust, the socket circuit must be
protected with a circuit breaker (30 mA) to ensure the
safety of the user.
Do not expose the power tool to rain or operate it in wet
or damp conditions. The presence of water in a power
tool increases the risk of damage and electric shock to
the user.
Never use the power cord to pull, carry or unplug the
power tool. Damaged power cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
Keep the power cord and plug away from heat sources,
oil, sharp objects and rotating attachments. Check the
condition of the power cord regularly, if it is damaged,
it must be replaced or repaired by a qualified technician.
Never change the power cord plug and use a socket
which is compatible with the plug. Do not use any kind
of socket adaptor.
The use of extension cords to plug in the power cord is
not recommended. However, if you use an extension
cord, you should take some precautions, such as:
▪ If you use the power tool outdoors, use only
extension cords suitable for outdoor use. The use of
a suitable extension cord reduces the risk of electric
shock;
▪ Use only extension cords, plugs and sockets with
grounding;
▪ The cross-section of the extension cord's cables shall
be proportional to the length and with the same
characteristics as or larger than the sliding miter
saw's power cord;
▪ Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine the
extension cords before using them and replace if
necessary;
▪ Always unplug the extension cord before removing
the plug from the power tool;
▪ When using an extension cord reel, unroll the cord
completely;

Before you start operating
Individuals who have not read the instruction manual
and are not familiarized with how to operate the sliding
miter saw must not use it.
To ensure that you work with the power tool safely, you
should take into account a few precautions and
procedures before start-up:
▪ Inspect the power tool before each use. Check that
the blade is installed correctly and in good condition.
In case there is excessive damage or wear, replace it.
Never use saw blades that are damaged or deformed;
▪ Check that all bolts are properly tightened. Regular
inspection is important to ensure the safety and good
performances of the power tool;
▪ Check that the safety devices are in perfect condition
and work properly. Never use the power tool if the
safety devices are missing, inhibited, damaged or
worn out;
▪ If the ON/OFF switch is damaged or does not allow
the operation of the power tool to be controlled, it
must be repaired or replaced in order to prevent any
unintentional start;
▪ 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;
▪ After the saw blade's installation and before using
the power tool, test it at full speed at no load for a
while. Check for misalignment of the blade or any
other condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. Check that all moving parts rotate
smoothly, without abnormal noises;
▪ Make sure the saw blade rotates in the direction of
the arrow, which is shown on the blade.
Make all adjustments and work necessary for the
correct assembly of the power tool if you have any
questions or difficulties, contact your official dealer.
