We, being solely responsible, hereby declare that
these chop and mitre saws and table saws,
identified by type and serial number *1), meet all
relevant requirements of directives *2) and
standards *3). Test report *4), Issuing testing
authority *5), Technical documents for *6) - see
page 4.
The chop and mitre saw and table saw is suitable
for longitudinal and transverse cutting, angled
cutting, mitre cuts and double mitre cuts.
Only materials for which the respective saw blade
is suited may be machined (approved saw blades
see chapter 13. Accessories).
The permitted dimensions of the workpieces must
be complied with (see chapter 17. Technical
Data).
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.
Do not use machine for cutting slots / inserts
(groove ending in the workpiece).
Do not use machine for notches or grooves.
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!

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING – Read all safety warnings and
instructions. 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.
Do not let other people, particularly children, touch
the power tool or cable.
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 if you are tired or
not concentrating or are 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. Make sure
that the power tool is switched off before you
connect it to the power supply, lift or carry it.
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. Use the
correct power tool. Do not use the power tool
for purposes, for which it is not designed. Do
not use low-power machines for heavy-duty work.
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 tool before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing 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. Unused power tools should be
stored in a dry, elevated or closed location 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. Follow the instructions
for lubrication and tool replacement. 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.
a) Chop, mitre and table saws are designed
for cutting wood or wood-like products, they
cannot be used to cut ferrous materials such
as rods, bars, screws, 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) When using as chop and mitre saw: Fix the
workpiece with clamps. Do not use this saw
to cut pieces, which are too small to clamp. If
your hand is placed too close to the saw blade,
there is an increased risk of injury from blade
contact.
c) When used as a chop and mitre saw: The
workpiece must be immobile and tightly
clamped. Do not feed the workpiece into the
blade or cut "freehand" in any way.
Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be
thrown at high speeds, causing injury.
d) Never cross your hand over the intended
line of cutting either in front or behind the
saw blade. Supporting the workpiece "cross
handed" i.e. holding the workpiece to the right of
the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa is
very dangerous.
e) When used as a chop and mitre saw: Do
not grab the rotating blade behind the limit
stop. Do not undercut a safety distance of
100 mm between the hand and the rotating
saw blade (applies to both sides of the saw
blade, e.g. when removing wood scraps). The

Our support team searches for useful product information and answers to frequently asked questions. If you find an inaccuracy in our frequently asked questions, please let us know by using our contact form.
Do I need to wear hearing protection when using a mitre saw? Verified
Yes you should. Although the amount of noise produced by a mitre saw can vary between brands and models, long term exposure to loud noise can cause permanent hearing damage. That is why it is a good idea to wear hearing protection.
This was helpful (14) Read moreCan I store power tools in a shed or garage? Verified
In general, you can store power tools in a shed or garage, even if it sometimes freezes there. However, it is better for the lifespan of the power tool to store it in a dry place without major temperature fluctuations. In a shed or garage, differences in temperature can cause condensation to form, which can cause rust. In addition, tools that run on batteries last shorter and do not charge as well at very low temperatures. To be sure how your power tool needs to be stored, always thoroughly read the user manual.
