ENE004-1

Intended use

The tool is intended for accurate straight and miter cut-

ting in wood. With appropriate saw blades, aluminum can

also be sawed.

ENF002-2

Power supply

The tool should be connected only to a power supply of

the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can

only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are

double-insulated and can, therefore, also be used from

sockets without earth wire.

For Model LS1040F

ENF100-1

For public low-voltage distribution systems of

between 220 V and 250 V.

Switching operations of electric apparatus cause voltage

fluctuations. The operation of this device under unfavor-

able mains conditions can have adverse effects to the

operation of other equipment. With a mains impedance

equal or less than 0.34 Ohms it can be presumed that

there will be no negative effects. The mains socket used

for this device must be protected with a fuse or protective

circuit breaker having slow tripping characteristics.

MITER SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid con-

tact with any coasting blade. It can still cause

severe injury.

2. Check the saw blade carefully for cracks or

deformation before operation.

Replace damaged blade immediately.

3. Replace the kerf board when worn.

4. Use only saw blades specified by the manufac-

turer which conform to EN847-1.

5. Do not use saw blades manufactured from high

speed steel.

6. Wear eye protection.

7. Wear hearing protection to reduce the risk of

hearing loss.

8. Wear gloves for handling saw blade (saw blades

shall be carried in a holder wherever practicable)

and rough material.

9. Connect miter saws to a dust collecting device

when sawing.

10. Select saw blades in relation to the material to

be cut.

11. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood, alu-

minum or similar materials.

12. Always secure all moving portions before carry-

ing the tool. When lifting or carrying the tool, do

not use the guard as a carrying handle.

13. Do not operate saw without guards in place.

Check blade guard for proper closing before

each use. Do not operate saw if blade guard

does not move freely and close instantly. Never

clamp or tie the blade guard into the open posi-

tion.

14. Keep the floor area free of loose material e.g.

chips and cut-offs.

15. Use only saw blades that are marked with a max-

imum speed equal to or higher than the no load

speed marked on the tool.

16. When the tool is fitted with a laser or LED, do not

replace the laser or LED with a different type.

Ask an authorized service center for repair.

17. Never remove any cut-offs or other parts of the

workpiece from the cutting area whilst the tool is

running with an unguarded saw blade.

18. Do not perform any operation freehand. The

workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn

base and guide fence with the vise during all opera-

tions. Never use your hand to secure the workpiece.

19. Ensure that the tool is stable before each cut.

20. Fix the tool to a work bench, if needed.

21. Support long workpieces with appropriate addi-

tional supports.

22. Never cut so small workpiece which cannot be

securely held by the vise. Improperly held work-

piece may cause kickback and serious personal

injury.

23. Never reach around saw blade.

24. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop

before moving workpiece or changing settings.

25. Unplug tool before changing blade or servicing.

26. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down is

for carrying and storage purposes only and not

for any cutting operations.

27. Do not use the tool in the presence of flammable

liquids or gases. The electrical operation of the tool

could create an explosion and fire when exposed to

flammable liquids or gases.

28. Use only flanges specified for this tool.

29. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges

(especially the installing surface) or bolt. Dam-

age to these parts could result in blade break-

age.

30. Make sure that the turn base is properly secured

so it will not move during operation.

31. For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces,

etc. from the table top before operation.

32. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all

nails from the workpiece before operation.

33. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the

switch is turned on.

34. Be sure that the blade does not contact the turn

base in the lowest position.

35. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw

moves up or down slightly during start-up and

stopping.

36. Make sure the blade is not contacting the work-

piece before the switch is turned on.

37. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let

it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling

that could indicate poor installation or a poorly

balanced blade.
