5 CORRECT USE OF YOUR POW8136

The circular drag, crosscut and miter box saw is designed to crosscut wood and plastic commensurate with the machine’s size. The machine is not to be used for cutting fire wood. The machine is to be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any use other than that mentioned is considered to be a case of misuse. The user/operator and not the manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse. The machine is to be operated only with suitable saw blades. It is prohibited to use any type of cutting-off wheel. To use the machine properly you must also observe the safety regulations, the assembly instructions and the operating instructions to be found in this manual. All persons who use and service the machine have to be acquainted with this manual and must be informed about its potential hazards. It is also imperative to observe the accident prevention regulations in force in your area. The same applies for the general rules of occupational health and safety. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any changes made to the machine nor for any damage resulting from such changes. Even when the machine is used as prescribed it is still impossible to eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise in connection with the machine’s construction and design:

 Contact with the saw blade in the uncovered saw zone.  Reaching into the running saw blade (cut injuries).  Kick-back of workpieces and parts of workpieces.  Saw blade fracturing.  Catapulting of faulty carbide tips from the saw blade.  Damage to hearing if essential ear-muffs are not worn.  Harmful emissions of wood dust when the machine is used in closed rooms.

6 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow all warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.

Page 5

POW8136 EN

6.1 Work area

 Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.  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.

 Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control.

6.2 Electrical safety

 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.

 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.

 Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

 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.

 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.

 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.

6.3 Personal safety

 Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power

tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

 Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used whenever conditions require will reduce personal injuries.

 Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

 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.

 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better

control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

 If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,

ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.

6.4 Power tool use and care

 Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct

power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

 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.

Page 6

POW8136 EN

 Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

 Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and 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.

 Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or sticking 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. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to stick and are easier to control.

 Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions

and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could lead to a hazardous situation.

6.5 Service

 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.

7 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LASERS

 Warning! The laser beam potentially causes severe eye damage. Never look or stare

directly into the laser beam.

 During use, do not point the laser beam at people, directly or indirectly through reflecting

surfaces.

 This laser complies with class 2 according to EN 60825-1:2001. The unit includes no

servicing components. Do not open the housing for any reason. If the unit is damaged, have the damage repaired by an authorized repair agent.

8 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES

 When replacing batteries, always replace the complete set. Do not mix old batteries with

new ones.

 Prevent removed batteries from short circuiting.  Do not store batteries where the temperature may rise above 50 °C, e.g. in a car which

has been parked in the sun.

 Do not burn batteries.  Never attempt to open batteries.  In case of battery leakage, carefully remove the liquid using a cloth. Avoid skin or eye

contact. Do not swallow. In case of skin or eye contact, rinse abundantly for 10 minutes with clean water and consult a physician.

9 ASSEMBLY

9.1 Before putting the machine into operation

 The machine must be firmly mounted in working position, e.g. on a workbench, the base

frame supplied with the machine, or similar.

 All the covers and safety devices have to be properly fitted before the machine is switched

on.

 It must be possible for the saw blade to run freely.  When working with wood that has been processed before, watch out for foreign bodies

such as nails or screws etc.

 Before you actuate the On/Off switch, make sure that the saw blade is correctly fitted and

that the machine's moving parts run smoothly.

Page 7

POW8136 EN

 Before you connect the machine to the power supply, make sure the data on the rating

plate is the same as that for your mains.

9.2 Setting up the saw unit (Fig. 1/2)

 To adjust the turntable (8), loosen the locking handle by approx. 2 turns, which frees the

turntable (8).

 Turn the turntable (8) and scale pointer (11) to the desired angular setting on the dial (12).  Lightly press the machine head (4) down while at the same time pulling the retaining pin

(16) out from the motor mounting; this causes the saw to move down to the lower working position.

 Swing the machine head (4) up until the retaining hook latches into place.  The clamping device (19) and the workpiece support (20) can be fastened on both right

and left sides of the base plate (9).
