During Use; Laser Radiation; After Use - Skil 1310 Manual Original

DURING USE

• Do not force the tool (apply light and continuous
pressure in order to avoid overheating the blade tips and,
in case of cutting plastics, melting the plastic material)
• Keep fingers, hands and arms away from the rotating
saw blade
• If the saw blade becomes blocked, switch off the tool
immediately and disconnect the plug; only then remove
the wedged workpiece
In case of jamming or electrical or mechanical
•
malfunction, immediately switch off the tool and
disconnect the plug
• If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do
not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the plug
• Never use the tool when the cord is damaged; it must be
replaced by a specially prepared cord available through
the service organization.

LASER RADIATION

• Do not direct the laser beam at persons or animals
and do not stare into the direct or reflected laser
beam yourself, not even from a distance (you could
blind somebody, cause accidents or damage your eyes)
• If laser radiation strikes your eye, you must deliberately
close your eyes and immediately turn your head away
from the beam
• Do not make any modifications to the laser equipment
• Do not look into the laser beam (laser radiation)
• Do not use any magnifying optical tools (such as
magnifying glasses, telescopes, or binoculars) to view
the laser beam
• Do not operate the tool in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust
• Do not operate the tool with children around
• Do not replace the installed laser with another laser type

AFTER USE

After switching off the tool, never stop the rotation of the
•
accessory by a lateral force applied against it
• Only remove cut-offs or other parts of the workpiece from
the cutting area when all moving parts have come to a
complete standstill
• the saw blade becomes very hot during use; do not touch
it before it has cooled down
• Store the tool indoors in a dry and locked-up place, out
of reach of children

in the cord of this tool to the earth terminal of the plug
• If for any reason the old plug is cut off the cord of this tool,
it must be disposed of safely and not left unattended
USE
• Assembly
- assemble the transport handle with 2 bolts using hex
key AK 9
- assemble the mitre lock knob AB into the front of the
table q
• Transport/working position
For releasing the tool (working position)
- press handle B downward with one hand while pulling
out locking pin C with the other hand w a
- guide the head assembly slowly upward
- for sawing with slide movement loosen locking knob
AE w b
For securing the tool (transport position)
- slide the head assembly to the stop in the direction of
fence S and tighten locking knob AE w c
- set the bevel angle to 0° (see Setting bevel angle)
- set the mitre angle to 45° left or right (see Setting mitre
angle)
- press handle B downward with one hand while pushing
locking pin C with the other hand
- wind up the power cord
- use transport handle E for carrying the tool w d
- alternatively, use the side handles for carrying the tool
w e
! never lift the tool by holding the main handle, or
the power cord
• Mounting tool on working surface e
! for safe handling always mount tool on a flat and
stable working surface (e.g. workbench)
- use 4 mounting holes F for attaching the tool with
suitable screws to the working surface
- you may also clamp the tool to the working surface with
commercially available screw clamps
- for stabilizing the tool the height of support foot G can
be adjusted
- alternatively, the tool can be mounted onto a mitre saw
stand
! read all the warnings and instructions included
with the saw stand
• Dust/chip extraction r
- mount dustbag H/vacuum cleaner as illustrated
- empty dust bag regularly for optimal dust pick-up
performance
! never let the vacuum cleaner hose interfere with
the lower guard or the cutting operation
• Saw table extension t
- use knobs L to fasten extension bars K (on either side
of the tool)
- the length of extension bars K is steplessly adjustable
from minimum to maximum
• Clamping the workpiece y
! for optimum working safety always firmly clamp
the workpiece with the adjustable clamp supplied
- do not work with workpieces that are too small to clamp
- for maximal workpiece dimensions use table u as
reference
- fasten workpiece clamp into support hole N with knob P
(on either side of the tool)
- use 1 of the 2 grooves; for workpiece thickness up to
4cm and workpiece thickness over 4cm
- press the workpiece firmly against fence S
- unlock lever R
- adapt clamp to the workpiece
- firmly clamp the workpiece by locking lever R
! for some mitre and bevel combinations, or
depending on the size of the workpiece, it may be
necessary to use commercially available screw
clamps instead of the workpiece clamp
• Setting mitre angles i
18
- loosen locking handle AB
