fluctuations. The operation of this device under unfavorable mains conditions can have adverse effects to the
operation of other equipment. With a mains impedance
equal or less than 0.30 Ohms it can be presumed that
there will be no negative effects. The mains socket used
for this device must be protected with a fuse or protective
circuit breaker having slow tripping characteristics.
For European countries only

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ENA001-2
WARNING:
When using electric tools, basic safety precautions, including the following,
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
personal injury. Read all these instructions before operating this product
and save these instructions.
For safe operations:
1. Keep work area clean.
Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
2. Consider work area environment.
Do not expose power tools to rain. Do not use
power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work
area well lit. Do not use power tools where there is
risk to cause fire or explosion.
3. Guard against electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerators).
4. Keep children away.
Do not let visitors touch the tool or extension cord.
All visitors should be kept away from work area.
5. Store idle tools.
When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry,
high or locked up place, out of reach of children.
6. Do not force the tool.
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was intended.
7. Use the right tool.
Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job
of a heavy duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes
not intended; for example, do not use circular saws
to cut tree limbs or logs.
8. Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, they can be
caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid
footwear are recommended when working outdoors.
Wear protecting hair covering to contain long hair.
9. Use safety glasses and hearing protection.
Also use face or dust mask if the cutting operation is
dusty.
10. Connect dust extraction equipment.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities ensure these are
connected and properly used.
11. Do not abuse the cord.
Never carry the tool by the cord or yank it to disconnect it from the socket. Keep the cord away from
heat, oil and sharp edges.
12. Secure work.
Use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is safer
than using your hand and it frees both hands to
operate the tool.
13. Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. Maintain tools with care.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and
safer performance. Follow instructions for lubrication and changing accessories. Inspect tool cord
3
periodically and if damaged have it repaired by an
authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords
periodically and replace, if damaged. Keep handles
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
15. Disconnect tools.
When not in use, before servicing and when changing accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.
16. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
Form the habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool
before turning it on.
17. Avoid unintentional starting.
Do not carry a plugged-in tool with a finger on the
switch. Ensure switch is off when plugging in.
18. Use outdoor extension leads.
When tool is used outdoors, use only extension
cords intended for outdoor use.
19. Stay alert.
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do
not operate tool when you are tired.
20. Check damaged parts.
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, free running of moving parts, breakage of
parts, mounting and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center unless otherwise
indicated in this instruction manual. Have defective
switches replaced by an authorized service facility.
Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on
and off.
21. Warning.
The use of any accessory or attachment, other than
those recommended in this instruction manual or
the catalog, may present a risk of personal injury.
22. Have your tool repaired by a qualified person.
This electric tool is in accordance with the relevant
safety requirements. Repairs should only be carried
out by qualified persons using original spare parts,
otherwise this may result in considerable danger to
the user.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TOOL ENB040-3
1. Wear eye protection.
2. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid con-
tact with any coasting blade. It can still cause severe
injury.
3. Do not operate saw without guards in place.
Check blade guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate saw if blade guard
does not move freely and close instantly. Never
clamp or tie the blade guard into the open position.
4. Do not perform any operation freehand. The
workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn
base and guide fence with the vise during all operations. Never use your hand to secure the workpiece.
5. Never reach around saw blade.
6. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop
before moving workpiece or changing settings.
7. Unplug tool before changing blade or servicing.
8. Don’t use the tool in the presence of flammable liq-
uids or gases.
9. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage
before operation.
Replace cracked or damaged blade immediately.
10. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
11. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges (espe-
cially the installing surface) or bolt. Damage to
these parts could result in blade breakage.
12. Make sure that the turn base is properly secured so
it will not move during operation.
13. For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces, etc.
from the table top before operation.
14. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails
from the workpiece before operation.
15. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
16. Be sure that the blade does not contact the turn
base in the lowest position.
17. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up and stopping.
18. Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece
before the switch is turned on.
19. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it
run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that
could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced
blade.
20. Wait until the blade attains full speed before cutting.
21. Stop operation immediately if you notice anything
abnormal.
22. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the on position.
23. Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive,
monotonous operations. Don't be lulled into a false
sense of security. Blades are extremely unforgiving.

24. Always use accessories recommended in this manual. Use of improper accessories such as abrasive
wheels may cause an injury.
25. Do not use the saw to cut other than aluminum,
wood or similar materials.
26. Connect miter saws to a dust collecting device
when sawing.
27. Select saw blades in relation to the material to
be cut.
28. Take care when slotting.
29. Replace the kerf board when worn.
30. Do not use saw blades manufactured from high
speed steel.
31. Some dust created from operation contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based-painted material
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• arsenic and chromium from chemicallytreated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work
in a well ventilated area and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
32. To reduce the emitted noise, always be sure that
the blade is sharp and clean.
33. The operator is adequately trained in the use,
adjustment and operation of the machine.
34. Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe
the maximum speed marked on the saw blade.
35. Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other
parts of the workpiece from the cutting area
whilst the machine is running and the saw head
is not in the rest position.
