4 ENGLISH6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properlymaintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edgesare less likely to bind and are easier to control.7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bitsetc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-ing into account the working conditions andthe work to be performed. Use of the power toolfor operations different from those intended couldresult in a hazardous situation.8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,clean and free from oil and grease. Slipperyhandles and grasping surfaces do not allow forsafe handling and control of the tool in unexpectedsituations.9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth workgloves which may be entangled. The entangle-ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts mayresult in personal injury.Battery tool use and care1. Recharge only with the charger specified bythe manufacturer. A charger that is suitable forone type of battery pack may create a risk of firewhen used with another battery pack.2. Use power tools only with specifically desig-nated battery packs. Use of any other batterypacks may create a risk of injury and fire.3. When battery pack is not in use, keep it awayfrom other metal objects, like paper clips,coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metalobjects, that can make a connection from oneterminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-nals together may cause burns or a fire.4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may beejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. Ifliquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medicalhelp. Liquid ejected from the battery may causeirritation or burns.5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteriesmay exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting infire, explosion or risk of injury.6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire orexcessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tem-perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.7. Follow all charging instructions and do notcharge the battery pack or tool outside thetemperature range specified in the instruc-tions. Charging improperly or at temperaturesoutside the specified range may damage thebattery and increase the risk of fire.Service1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualifiedrepair person using only identical replacementparts. This will ensure that the safety of the powertool is maintained.2. Never service damaged battery packs. Serviceof battery packs should only be performed by themanufacturer or authorized service providers.3.

Do not modify or attempt to repair the appli-ance or the battery pack except as indicated inthe instructions for use and care.Safety instructions for mitre saws1. Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like products, they cannot be used with abra-sive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous materialsuch as bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive dustcauses moving parts such as the lower guard tojam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn thelower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.2. Use clamps to support the workpiece wheneverpossible. If supporting the workpiece by hand,you must always keep your hand at least 100mm from either side of the saw blade. Do notuse this saw to cut pieces that are too small tobe securely clamped or held by hand. If yourhand is placed too close to the saw blade, there isan increased risk of injury from blade contact.3. The workpiece must be stationary and clampedor held against both the fence and the table. Donot feed the workpiece into the blade or cut "free-hand" in any way. Unrestrained or moving work-pieces could be thrown at high speeds, causing injury.4. Push the saw through the workpiece. Do notpull the saw through the workpiece. To makea cut, raise the saw head and pull it out overthe workpiece without cutting, start the motor,press the saw head down and push the sawthrough the workpiece. Cutting on the pull strokeis likely to cause the saw blade to climb on topof the workpiece and violently throw the bladeassembly towards the operator.5. Never cross your hand over the intended line ofcutting either in front or behind the saw blade.Supporting the workpiece "cross handed" i.e. hold-ing the workpiece to the right of the saw blade withyour left hand or vice versa is very dangerous.6. Do not reach behind the fence with either handcloser than 100 mm from either side of the sawblade, to remove wood scraps, or for any otherreason while the blade is spinning. The proxim-ity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may notbe obvious and you may be seriously injured.7. Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If theworkpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it withthe outside bowed face toward the fence.Always make certain that there is no gapbetween the workpiece, fence and table alongthe line of the cut. Bent or warped workpiecescan twist or shift and may cause binding on thespinning saw blade while cutting. There should beno nails or foreign objects in the workpiece.
