5. Residual risks
The machine has been built according to the state
of the art and the recognised technical safety
requirements. However, individual residual risks
can arise during operation.
• Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use of
improper electrical connection cables.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been met,
some non-obvious residual risks may still remain.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the “Important informa-
tion”, „Additional safety instructions“ and the „Proper
use“ are observed along with the whole of the operating
instructions.
• Do not load the machine unnecessarily: excessive pres-
sure when sawing will quickly damage the saw blade,
which results in reduced output of the machine in the pro-
cessing and in cut precision.
• When cutting plastic material, please always use clamps:
the parts which should be cut must always be fixed be-
tween the clamps.
• Avoid accidental starting of the machine: the operating
button may not be pressed when inserting the plug in an
outlet.
• Use the tool that is recommended in this manual. In do-
ing so, your mitre saw provides optimal performance.
• Hands may never enter the processing zone when the
machine is in operation.
• Release the handle button and switch off the machine
prior to any operations.
6. Commissioning
Prior to commissioning, observe the safety in-
structions in the operating instructions.
REMOVAL FROM THE PACKAGING
Remove the machine from its package, which protects it dur-
ing transport, without damaging the package in order to be
able to use it later for transporting the mitre saw for long-term
storage.
MOVING
Since the mitre saw is relatively small and light, its location
can be easily changed, even by a single person. After lock-
ing the locking knob (26 - Fig. 4) in the bottom position, lift
the mitre saw by the handle (34 - Fig. 4).
TRANSPORT
If the machine must be transported, carry it by the handle
(34 - Fig. 4) and place it in the original packaging in which
it was supplied. In the process, make sure that it is correctly
positioned in the package (see arrows on the package).
If possible, the load should be fixed with ropes or securing
belts in order to prevent shifting during the transport or parts
of the load from falling down.
• Never point the laser beam towards reflecting surfaces
and persons or animals. Even a laser beam with a low
output can cause damage to the eyes.
• Caution - methods other than those specified here can
result in dangerous radiation exposure.
• Never open the laser module. Unexpected exposure to
the beam can occur.
• If the mitre saw is not used for an extended period of
time, the batteries should be removed.
• The laser may not be replaced with a different type of
laser.
• Repairs of the laser may only be carried out by the laser
manufacturer or an authorised representative.
Safety instructions for handling batteries
1 Always make sure that the batteries are inserted with
the correct polarity (+ and –), as indicated on the
battery.
2 Do not short-circuit batteries.
3 Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries.
4 Do not overcharge batteries!
5 Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of dif-
ferent types or manufacturers! Replace an entire set of
batteries at the same time.
6 Immediately remove used batteries from the device
and dispose of them properly! Do not dispose batter-
ies with household waste. Defective or used batteries
must be recycled according to Directive 2006/66
/ EC. Give back batteries and / or the device has
been offered to the collective facilities. About disposal
facilities you can inform by your municipal or city
government.
7 Do not allow batteries to heat up!
8 Do not weld or solder directly on batteries!
9 Do not dismantle batteries!
10 Do not allow batteries to deform!
11 Do not throw batteries into fire!
12 Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
13 Do not allow children to replace batteries without
supervision!
14 Do not keep batteries near fire, ovens or other sources
of heat. Do not use batteries in direct sunlight or store
them in vehicles in hot weather.
15 Keep unused batteries in the original packaging
and keep them away from metal objects. Do not mix
unpacked batteries or toss them together! This can
lead to a short-circuit of the battery and thus damage,
burns or even the risk of fire.
16 Remove batteries from the equipment when it will not
be used for an extended period of time, unless it is for
emergencies!
17 NEVER handle batteries that have leaked without
appropriate protection. If the leaked fluid comes into
contact with your skin, the skin in this area should be
rinsed off under running water immediately. Always
prevent the fluid from coming into contact with the
eyes and mouth. In the event of contact, please seek
immediate medical attention.
18 Clean the battery contacts and corresponding con-
tacts in the device prior to inserting the batteries.
