AddITIONAl SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR SlIdING
MITRE SAw wITh lASER.
1. Only wood or products such as medium density fibre board can be cut with this
saw. Other materials may shatter or cause the blade to grab.
2. Never fit substandard blades to the saw. Only fit correctly sized saw blade.
3. Let the blade reach full speed before commencing the cut.
4. Do not use damaged or worn blades.
5. Ensure that the directional arrow marked on the blade corresponds with the
rotational direction of motor.
6. Ensure that the movable guards operate freely without jamming.
7. Never cut pieces too small to be held securely against the straight guide leave
enough space for the hand to be a safe distance from the blade.
8. Regularly check the blade securing bolt.
9. Do not run the machine with any part of the casing missing or damaged.
10. Do not start the saw when the blade is inserted into the workpiece.
11. Let the blade come to a complete stop before removing any jammed or offcut
material from around the blade area.
Do not attempt to stop the blade by placing sideways pressure on the blade disc.
12. Before cutting let the saw blade run freely for a few seconds. If it makes an unfamiliar
sound or vibration switch it off immediately and disconnect from the power supply.
Investigate cause or consult your dealer.
13. Ensure all securing clamps are tight and check for excessive play.
14. Never try to cut freehand. Always ensure that the workpiece is securely pressed
against the straight guide and table support surface.
15. Disconnect from the mains supply, pull down the handle of the saw. With the
blade in its furthest down position, rotate the blade by hand to ensure it is free from
obstruction. Repeat this procedure at all maximum mitre and bevel positions before
commencing work.
16. Ensure that the workpiece to be cut off has sufficient room to move sideways.
Failure to do so may result in the off cut binding against the blade.
17. Ensure that irregular or round piece to be cut off has sufficient room to move or
twist so that they cannot pinch the blade.
18. Do not forget to remove any adjustment keys, spanners and wrenches before
switching on the tool.

SAFETY POINTS FOR YOUR LASER
The laser device fitted to this tool is class 2 with a maximum radiation
of 1mW and 650nm wavelength. These lasers do not normally present
an optical hazard although staring at the beam may cause flash blindness. Do
not stare directly at the laser beam. A hazard may exist if you deliberately
stare into the beam, please observe all safety rules as follows:
1. The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Never aim the beam at any person or an object other than the work piece.
3. The laser beam shall not be deliberately aimed at another person and
shall be prevented from being directed towards the eye of a person for
longer than 0.25 seconds.
4. Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy work piece without
reflective surfaces, e.g wood or rough coated surfaces are acceptable.
Bright shiny reflective sheet steel or similar is not suitable for laser applications as the
reflective surface may direct the laser beam back at the operator.
5. Do not change the laser device with a different type. Repairs must be
carried out by the manufacturer or an authorised agent.
VIBRATION
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help
reduce hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The directive
requires power tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test
results to enable users to make informed decisions as to the period of time a power
tool can be used safely on a daily basis and the choice of tool.
Further Advice can be found at www.hse.gov.uk
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 61029:
Work mode description 1 Vibration emission value ah = 1.09m/s²
Uncertainty K = 1.5m/s²
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and
should be used with the current guidance on vibration.
Calculating the actual period of the actual period off use can be difficult and the HSE
website has further information.
The declared vibration emission been measured in accordance with a standardised
test stated above and may be used to compare one tool with another
The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary
assessment of exposure.
Warning: The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool
can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is
used dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is
used:How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained
The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good
condition.
The tightness of the grip on the handles.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed
Warning: identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on
an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of
all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and
when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).Note The use of other tools will
reduce the users’ total working period on this tool.
Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk.
ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades

Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated
(where appropriate)
Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10°C or less
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of
days.
Health Surveillance
All employees should be part of an employer’s health surveillance scheme to help
identity any vibration related diseases at an early stage, prevent disease progression
and help employees stay in work.
