support the workpiece.
3.Approach the workpiece to the cutting disk
applying maximum caution keeping your hands
distanced from the cutting path.
4.Push the workpiece with an intensity that is
suitable for the characteristics of the material.
5.Carry out the stopping operation with locking as
explained in 12.
Information!

Once it has been placed at the left of the saw blade,
parallel guide 27 allows to cut small cuttings at 45º
13.Precautions and protective
garment
This electrical tool may only be handled by adult
personnel who have received suitable training and
instructions, complying with laws as established to
this respect and what has been set forth as a matter
of prevention for the working place.
In addition, the operator must have understood and
assimilated, and fully comply with the present
manual.
This machine requires the use of the following
individual protective equipments:
1.Protective helmet
2.Integral face-protecting equipment (eyes and
face) against impacts
3.Ear protectors
4.Dust mask
5.Protective gloves against mechanical aggression
6.Boots with toe caps and insoles
7.Working garment
8.Tool bag
9.Safety belt (occasional)

14.Special safety precautions

Description of risks specifically related to
the machine
Any of the following prior risk conditions must have
existed for the risks to become real:
ENGLISH
35
1.The operator has not been suitably trained.
2.The mitre saw has not been installed suitably.
3.The mitre saw has not been maintained correctly.
4.The mitre saw has been disassembled and then
been assembled incorrectly.
5.The mitre saw has been disassembled and
assembled with parts lacking.
6.Operator does not use the protection as
indicated.
7.Operator grasps the workpiece with his/her hand.
8.Operator exposes his/her hands, body or
garment to the cutting path.
The two main classes of risks entailed by the use of
this machine are contacts with the cutting disk and
projections of particles or cut pieces.
1.Contact with the cutting disk
Case of use 1.1: During the development of the
cutting operation
Description of an accident of type 1.1.1: The
appearance of a nod in the wood leading to a
change in the resistance to penetration causes an
abrupt jerk in the workpiece and thus the possibility
that the operators hand is suddenly displaced
towards the disk and contacts the same if it remains
accessible.
Description of an accident of type 1.1.2: This
occurs during headpiece cutting operations at
workpieces having a very short length being held
manually. When the disk penetrates into the
workpiece, the latter may fall into the disk's
penetration slot of the cutting table and thus drag
the hand that holds the workpiece, making it enter
into contact with the disk if it remains accessible.
Case of use 1.2: Fortuitous contact with the disk
when turning without load in the resting position
Description of an accident of type 1.2.1: It occurs
when working with a machine that has been
manipulated or lacking guards. Under these
conditions the actuating element remains locked
such that the operator maintains the disk rotating
without load in the resting position and with the disk
being accessible. At the same time the operator's
hand enters into contact with the cutting disk whilst
carrying out operations in areas in the vicinity of the
disk (e.g. removing the cut workpiece, placing a
new workpiece on the table, etc.)
Case of use 1.3: Abrupt fall if the disk due to
breakage of the fastening spring in the resting
position
Description of an accident of type 1.3.1: There
occurs the drop of the counterweight of the movable
head sustaining the cutting disk due to breakage of
one or both of the counterweight springs or of the
anchoring thereof. At the same time the disk
remains rotating without load. At the same time the
operator has his/her hands under the cutting path.
Under these conditions the disk catches up with the
operator's hands that at that moment are carrying
out operations in that area.
