[. . . ] 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 an earth leakage circuit breaker. Use of an earth leakage circuit breaker reduces the risk of electric shock. 3) PERSONAL SAFETY a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. [. . . ] ONLY): · Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= live) wire in the cord of this tool to the earth terminal of the plug · If for any reason the old plug is cut off the cord of this tool, it must be disposed of safely and not left unattended USE · Mounting saw blade 3 !disconnect the plug - take blade wrench A from storage B - push spindle-lock button C and hold it while you remove blade bolt D with blade wrench !push spindle-lock button C only when tool is at a standstill - release spindle-lock button C - remove flange E - open lower guard F with lever G and hold it while you mount saw blade with saw teeth and arrow printed on saw blade pointing in same direction as arrow on lower guard - release lower guard F - mount flange E !make sure that clamping surfaces H of flanges are perfectly clean and face the blade - push spindle-lock button C and hold it while you tighten blade bolt with blade wrench 1/8 turn past finger tight (ensures slippage of saw blade when it encounters excessive resistance thus reducing motor overload and saw kickback) - release spindle-lock button C · Adjusting cutting depth (0-64 mm) 4 - for an optimal quality cut the saw blade should not extend more than 3 mm below the workpiece - loosen lever J - raise/lower foot K until desired cutting depth is set on scale using indicator L - tighten lever J · Adjusting cutting angle (0-45°) 5 - loosen knob M - tilt tool until desired cutting angle is set on scale using indicator N · · · · - tighten knob M !when bevel cutting, cutting depth does not correspond with value on cutting depth scale 90° Cutting angle check 5 - adjust and tighten foot K to maximum cutting depth 4 - adjust and tighten cutting angle to 0° - check for a 90° angle between the blade and bottom of foot with a square Line-of-cut indicator P 6 - for guiding tool along desired line of cut marked on the workpiece - for a straight 0° cut or a 45° bevel cut use the indicator line concerned !the wide part of the foot should rest on the supported part of the workpiece !cutting width is determined by width of blade teeth and not by width of blade body !always make trial cuts first to verify actual line of cut Dust suction - connect vacuum cleaner to extension Q 7 !never let the vacuum cleaner hose interfere with the lower guard or the cutting operation - one may also use a dust bag (SKIL accessory 2610387402) Operating the tool 7 - connect plug to power source - always hold handle R firmly with one hand and handle S firmly with the other hand - place tool with front end of foot flat on workpiece !ensure that the saw teeth are not engaged into the workpiece - switch on tool by first pressing knob T (= safety switch which cannot be locked) and then pulling trigger V !the tool should run at full speed before the blade enters into the workpiece - lower guard F opens automatically when saw blade enters the workpiece (open lower guard manually by using lever G only for special cuts such as plunge cuts) - do not force the tool; apply light and continuous pressure !while working, always hold the tool at the greycoloured grip area(s) - after completing the cut switch off tool by releasing trigger V !ensure that the blade has come to a complete standstill, before you lift the tool from the workpiece Adjusting rip fence - loosen knob X - adjust to desired cutting width by using rip fence scale (use line-of-cut indicator P as 0-reference) - tighten knob X · Plunge cutting 0 - set desired cutting depth - tilt tool forward with line-of-cut indicator P lined up with desired line of cut marked on the workpiece - open lower guard F with lever G - just before blade enters workpiece, switch on tool and gradually lower back end of tool using front end of foot as hinge-point - gradually move tool downward as well as forward - as soon as blade enters the material, release lever G !- support panel close to the cut either on floor, table or workbench !set cutting depth so that you cut through panel and not through support - in case rip fence does not allow desired width of cut, clamp or nail straight piece of wood to workpiece as a guide, and use the right side of the foot against this guide MAINTENANCE / SERVICE · Always keep tool and cord clean (especially the ventilation slots) !disconnect the plug before cleaning · Clean saw blade immediately after use (especially from resin and glue) · If the tool should fail despite the care taken in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be carried out by an after-sales service centre for SKIL power tools - send the tool undismantled together with proof of purchase to your dealer or the nearest SKIL service station (addresses as well as the service diagram of the tool are listed on www. skileurope. com) ENVIRONMENT · Do not dispose of electric tools, accessories and packaging together with household waste material (only for EU countries) - in observance of European Directive 2002/96/EC on waste of electric and electronic equipment and its implementation in accordance with national law, electric tools that have reached the end of their life must be collected separately and returned to an environmentally compatible recycling facility - symbol @ will remind you of this when the need for disposing occurs APPLICATION ADVICE · Always face the good side of the workpiece down to ensure minimum splintering · Only use sharp saw blades of the correct type 8 - quality of cut improves by the number of teeth - carbide tipped blades stay sharp up to 30 times longer than ordinary blades · Rip fence W 9 - for making exact cuts along a workpiece edge - can be inserted in either side of foot 11 CE DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY · We declare under our sole responsibility that this product is in conformity with the following standards or standardized documents: EN 60 745, EN 55 014, in accordance with the provisions of the directives 2006/95/EC, 2004/108/EC, 98/37/EC (until Dec. [. . . ] d) N'utilisez pas le câble à d'autres fins que celles prévues, n'utilisez pas le câble pour porter l'outil ou pour l'accrocher ou encore pour le débrancher de la prise de courant. Maintenez le câble éloigné des sources de chaleur, des parties grasses, des bords tranchants ou des parties de l'outil en rotation. Un câble endommagé ou torsadé augmente le risque d'un choc électrique. [. . . ]
