We, being solely responsible: Hereby declare that

these crosscut and mitre saws, identified by type

and serial number *1), meet all relevant

requirements of directives *2) and standards *3).

Technical documents for *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

device or use of parts that have not been tested

and approved by the manufacturer can cause

unforeseeable damage!

Where applicable, follow the legal directives or

regulations for the prevention of accidents.

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,

instructions, illustrations and

specifications provided with this power tool.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may

result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future

reference!

3.1 Work Area Safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered

or dark areas invite 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 (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 device

(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD 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 and clothing 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) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent

use of tools allow you to become complacent

and ignore tool safety principles. A careless

action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a

second.

3.4 Power Tool Use and Care

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, if detachable, 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) Store idle power tools out of the reach of

children. Do not allow persons unfamiliar with

the power tool or these instructions to operate

the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the

hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools and accessories with

care. 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 account the working conditions and

the work to be performed. Use of the power tool

for operations different from those intended could

result in a hazardous situation.

h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,

clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery

handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for

safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected

situations.

3.5 Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a

qualified repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

3.6 Additional Safety Instructions

– These operating instructions are intended for

people with basic technical knowledge in

handling machines such as the one described

here. If you have had no experience with

machines of this kind, you should initially work

under the supervision of people with previous

experience.

– The manufacturer bears no liability for damage

caused by non-compliance with these operating

instructions.

Information in these operating instructions is

designated as shown below:

Danger!

Risk of personal injury or environ-

mental damage.

Risk of electric shock!

Risk of personal injury from electric

shock.

Drawing-in/trapping hazard!

Risk of personal injury by body parts

or clothing being drawn into the ro-

tating saw blade.

Caution!

Risk of material damage.

Note:

Additional information.

Safety Instructions for Mitre Saws

a) Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or

wood-like products, they cannot be used with

abrasive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous

materials such as bars, rods, studs etc.

Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as the

lower guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting

will burn the lower guard, the kerf insert and other

plastic parts.

b) Use clamps to support the workpiece

whenever possible. If supporting the

workpiece by hand, you must always keep

your hand at least 100 mm from either side of

the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut

pieces that are too small to be securely

clamped or held by hand. If your hand is placed

too close to the saw blade, there is an increased

risk of injury from blade contact.

Do not hold on the side to which the saw head is

inclined. Do not cross your hands.

c) The workpiece must be stationary and

clamped or held against both the fence and

the table. Do not feed the workpiece into the
