SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The mitre saw is intended for sawing solid and bonded wood,
materials similar to wood, with or without glued veneer and plastics.
The mitre saw is intended to be used only by adult operators who
have read the instruction manual and understand the risks and
hazards.
The mitre saw is designed to be fixed at the base to a solid bench
top or a dedicated work stand. If the base is not securely fixed, the
whole machine may move during cutting operations, which increases
the possibility of serious personal injury.
The mitre saw is designed to make bevel and mitre cuts. The
capacities for the various cuts are provided in the sliding compact
mitre saw product specifications in this manual.
The mitre saw is to be used in dry conditions, with excellent ambient
lighting and adequate ventilation.
The mitre saw is intended for consumer use and should only be used
as described above and is not intended for any other purpose.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the slide compound mitre saw is used as prescribed, it is
still impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors.
The following hazards may arise and the operator should pay special
attention to avoid the following:
Ŷ
Risk of contact with uncovered parts of the rotating saw blade.
Ŷ
Kick-back of work pieces or parts of work pieces due to improper
adjustment or handling.
Ŷ
Catapulting of faulty carbide tips from the saw blade. Wear Eye
protection at all times.
Ŷ
Damage to the respiratory system. Wear respiratory protection
masks containing filters appropriate to the materials being
worked. Ensure adequate workplace ventilation. Do not eat, drink
or smoke in the work area.
Ŷ
Damage to hearing if effective hearing protection is not worn.
WARNING!
Dust from certain paints, coatings, and materials
may cause irritation or allergic reactions. Dust from wood such as
oak, beech, MDF, and others are carcinogenic. Materials containing
asbestos should only be worked on or processed by qualified
specialist operators.
WARNING!
Injuries may be caused or aggravated by prolonged
use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure you
take regular breaks.
