16. Technical Specifications

We declare under our sole responsibility: These

crosscut and mitre saws, identified by type and

serial number *1), comply with all relevant

requirements of the directives *2) and standards

*3). Technical file at *4) - see page 4.

The mitre saw is suited for longitudinal and cross

cuts, inclined cuts, mitre cuts and double mitre

cuts. Furthermore grooves can be machined.

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 tool

or use of parts that have not been tested and

approved by the manufacturer can cause

unforeseeable damage!

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

all instructions. Failure to follow all safety

warnings and instructions may result in electric

shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Keep all safety instructions and information

for future reference! The term "power tool" in the

warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)

power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power

tool.

3.1 Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Untidy or

poorly lit workplaces can cause 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 or 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 circuit

breaker (RCCB). Use of a residual current circuit

breaker 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, clothing and

gloves 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) Don't lull yourself into a false sense of

security and ignore the safety regulations for

power tools, even if you are familiar with the

power tool after frequent use. Failure to

observe the following warnings can result in

serious injury or damage to property.

3.4 Use and handling the power tool

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 power tool

before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

d) When not in use, store the power tools out

of the reach of children Do not allow

personnel to use the device unless they are

already familiar with it or have read these

instructions. Power tools are dangerous in the

hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools and accessories

carefully. 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 consideration the working

conditions and tasks required. Use of the power

tool for operations different from those intended

could result in a hazardous situation.

h) Keep the handles and handle surfaces dry,

clean and free of oil and grease. Slippery

handles and handle surfaces do not permit safe

handling and control of the power tool in

unforeseen situations.

3.5 Use and handling cordless tools

a) Always charge the batteries only in

chargers recommended by the manufacturer.

Chargers designed for a specific type of battery

may pose a fire hazard when used together with

other battery types.

b) Use only the batteries provided for this

purpose in the power tools. Using other

batteries may cause injuries and pose a fire

hazard.

c) When not in use, keep batteries away from

paper clips, coins, nails, screws or other small

metal objects that could bridge the contacts.

Short circuits between battery contacts can cause

burns or fires.

d) Fluid may escape if batteries are used

inappropriately. Avoid all contact with this

fluid. In the event of accidental skin contact,

rinse the affected area thoroughly. If the fluid

enters your eyes, seek immediate medical

assistance. Escaping battery fluid can cause skin

irritation or burns.

e) Do not use damaged or modified batteries.

Damaged or modified batteries may behave

unpredictably and lead to fire, explosion or risk of

injury.

f) Do not expose the battery pack to fire or

excessive temperatures. Fire or temperatures

above 130 °C can cause an explosion.

g) Follow all instructions on charging and

never charge the battery or the cordless tool

outside the temperature range indicated in the

operating instructions. Incorrect charging or

charging outside the permitted temperature range

may destroy the battery and increase the risk of

fire.

3.6 Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a

qualified technician using only original

replacement parts. This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

b)Never service damaged batteries. Any

servicing of batteries should only be carried out

by the manufacturer or authorised customer

service points.
