GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions

. Failure to follow the 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 electric (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

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.

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 grounded power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators . There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is 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. 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 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. 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. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or

carrying the tool. 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.

LJ305SCMS-DB 01

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

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, clothing and gloves

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 collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4. Power tool use and care a) 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.

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 power tool before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power 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 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. e) Maintain power tools. 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. 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

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking 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.

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. b) If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the manufacturer or its agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.

6. Battery Tool Use and Care a) Recharge only with the charger specified by

the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. b) Use power tools only with specifically

designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury or fire.

LJ305SCMS-DB 02

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

c) When Battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal object that can make a connection from one terminal

to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

D) User abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; Avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with copious amounts of water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek

medical help immediately. Liquid ejected from the batter may cause irritation or burns.

7. Additional Safety and working

Instructions

7.1. Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some wood types, minerals and metals can be harmful to one’s health and cause allergic reactions, leading to respiratory

infections and/or cancer. Materials containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.

Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to be worked.

7.2. Prevent dust accumulation at the

workplace. Dust can easily ignite.

8 Safety Warnings for Chop and Mitre

Saws

8.1 Never stand on the power tool. Serious injuries can occur when the power tool tips over or when inadvertently coming into contact with the saw blade.

8.2 Make sure that the guard operates properly

and that it can move freely. Never lock the guard in place when opened.

8.3 Never remove cutting remainders, wood chips, etc. from the sawing area while the

machine is running. Always guide the tool arm back to the neutral position first and then switch the machine off.

8.4 Guide the saw blade against the work piece only when the machine is switched on.

Otherwise there is damage of kickback, when the saw blade becomes wedged in the work piece.

8.5 Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and

grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.

8.6 Operate the power tool only when the work area to the work piece is clear of any adjusting

tools, wood chips, etc. Small pieces of wood or other objects that come in contact with the rotating saw blade can strike the operator with high speed.

8.7 Keep the floor free of wood chips and

material remainders. You could slip or trip.

8.8 Always firmly clamp the piece to be worked.

Do not saw work pieces that are too small to

clamp. Otherwise, the clearance of your hand to the rotating saw blade is too small.

8.9 Use the machine only for cutting the materials listed under Intended Use.

Otherwise, the machine can be subject to overload.

8.10 If the saw blade should become jammed, switch the machine off and hold the work piece until the saw blade comes to a complete stop. To prevent kickback, the work piece may not be moved until after the machine has come to a

complete stop. Correct the cause for the jamming of the saw blade before restarting the machine.

LJ305SCMS-DB 03

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

8.11 Do not use dull, cracked, bent or damaged

saw blades. Unsharpened or Improperly set saw blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.

8.12 Always use saw blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of bore.

Saw blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.

8.13 Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw

blades. Such saw blades can easily break.

8.14 Do not touch the saw blade after working

before it has cooled. The saw blade becomes very hot while working.

8.15 Never operate the machine without the insert plate. Replace a defective insert plate.

Without flawless insert plates, injuries are possible from the saw blade.

8.16 Check the cable regularly and have a damaged cable repaired only through an authorised customer service agent. Replace

damaged extension cables. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

8.17 Store the machine in a safe manner when not being used. The storage location must be

dry and lockable. This prevents the machine from storage damage, and from being operated by untrained persons.

8.18 Secure the work piece. A work piece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.

8.19 Never leave the machine before it has

come to a complete stop. Cutting tools that are still running can cause injuries.

8.20 Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug when the cable is damaged while

working. Damaged cables increase the risk of an electric shock.

9. Safety Warnings for Lasers

The mitre saw has a built‐in laser light. The laser is

CLASS 2. These lasers do not normally present an optical hazard. However, DO NOT stare at the beam, as this can cause flash blindness.

9.1 Do not remove or deface any product labels.

Removing product labels increases the risk of exposure to laser radiation.

9.2 The laser beam can be harmful to the eyes.

Always avoid direct expose to eyes. Do not project the laser beam directly into the eyes or at any object other than the work piece.

9.3 Do not look directly into the laser‐beam‐ output aperture during operation.

9.4 Turn the laser on only when making cuts.

The laser on the mitre saw is not a toy. Always keep it out of the reach of children. The laser light emitted from this device should never be directed toward any person for any reason.

9.5 Always turn the laser beam off when it is not

in use. Leaving the tool on increases the risk of someone inadvertently staring into the laser’s beam.

9.6 Be sure that the laser beam is aimed at a work piece (such as wood or a rough‐coated surface) that does not have a reflective Surface

LJ305SCMS-DB 04

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

9.7 Do not use on materials that have shiny, reflective surfaces, such as sheet metal.

The reflective surface could reflect the beam back at the operator. Be aware that laser light reflected off of a mirror or any other reflective surfaces can also be dangerous.

9.8 Always wear laser‐protective eyewear when working on or near reflective surfaces.

9.9 Do not attempt to activate the laser when the tool housing is removed.

9.10 The laser is activated by means of a button switch that is independent of the main switch for the saw.

9.11 Do not replace the laser light assembly

with a different one. Any repairs must be carried out by the laser manufacturer or an authorized service agent.

9.12 Do not attempt to repair the laser guide by yourself.

9.13 Do not attempt to change any parts of the laser guide.

10. Using an Extension Cable .

10.1. If an extension cable is required, use an approved triple core extension cable suitable for the power input of the tool.

10.2. Grounded tools always require a three wire extension cable.

10.3. As the distance from the supply outlet increases you must use a heavier gauge extension cable. Using extension cables with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.

10.4. The smaller the gauge number of the wire the greater the capacity of the cord.

10.5. When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.

ASSEMBLY

Avoid unintentional starting of the machine. During assembly and for all work on the machine, the power plug must not be connected to the mains supply.

Carefully remove all parts included in the delivery from their packaging.

Remove all packaging material from the machine and the accessories provided.

Before starting the operation of the machine for the first time, check if all parts listed in the box content section have been supplied.

Note: Check the power tool for possible damage. Before further use the machine, check that all protective devices are fully function. Any lightly damaged parts must be carefully checked to ensure flawless operation of the tool. All parts must be properly mounted and all conditions fulfilled that ensure faultless operation.

Damaged protective devices and parts must be immediately replaced by an authorised service centre.

Mitre Table Positive Stops

There are positive stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30° and 45° to the left and right. While the table is being rotated, the table will stop at the next positive stop. Once the desired angle is obtained, use the mitre lock handle to lock the table.

Vice Assembles (Vertical and Horizontal)

The vertical vive can be installed in two positions on either the left or the right side of the guide fence. Insert the vice rod into the hole in the guide fence and tighten the vice lock knob to secure the vice rod. The horizontal quick adjust vice can be installed in two positions on either the left or right side of the table base. Insert the vice pivot shaft into the hole in the base. To adjust the position of the vice, simply turn the handle or use the quick adjust feature by lifting the half nut and pushing or pulling the handle to position the vice. Reposition the half nut on the threaded shaft to secure the vice in place.

Pulling out the rectangle extension wings

If additional support is needed, it is highly recommended to pull out the retractable extension wings, unlock knob and pull out the extension wing and secure it in place by tightening the lock knob. Repeat for the other side.

Rear Support Extension

This mire saw comes with a rear support extension. It increases stability and if the saw head is released unexpectedly, it will prevent the mitre saw from tipping backwards.

Dust Bag

The dust bad fits over the dust bag adaptor at the rear of the saw dead. For efficient operation, empty the dust bag when it is no more than half full. This allows better air flow through the bag.

LJ305SCMS-DB 08

ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS

Bench Mounting

The saw base has holes to facilitate bench mounting. Fix the saw to the bench using 4 hex bolts and hex nuts. If desired, you can mount the saw to a piece of 13mm or thicker plywood which can then be clamped to your work support or moved to other job sites and reclamped.

Caution: Make sure that the mounting surface is not warped as an uneven surface can cause binding and inaccurate sawing.

Adjusting fence extensions

This mitre saw comes with a back fence with fence extensions at both ends which slide outwards for additional back support for those long workpieces. To adjust the position of each fence extensions:

- loosen the fence extension cap screw using the supplied hex key.

- Loosen the fence extension rear lock knob.

- Slide the fence extension outwards to the desired position and retighten the cap screw and rear lock knob.

Depths of cut stop adjustment

In its normal position, the depth cut stop permits the saw blade to cut right through a workpiece. When the saw arm is lifted, the depth of the cut stop can be pushed towards the front of the saw so that the depth adjustment screw contacts the stop as the saw arm is lowered. This restricts the cut to an

“adjusted depth” in the workpiece. The depth of cut can be adjusted with the adjustment screw and locked in position with the lock nut.

ADJUSTMENTS

Adjusting the bevel angle

This mire saw is capable of dual bevel angles which means the saw head can be inclined towards the right or the left. To adjust the saw head to any bevel angle;

- Loosen the bevel lock knob and pull the positive stop adjustment knob outwards as shown. At this point, the saw head can be inclined to any angle you desire. If you require a predetermined bevel angle of 0°, Push the adjustment knob inwards and pivot the saw head until it stops at 0°. Once the desired bevel angle is obtained, it is very important that you retighten the bevel lock knob.

(normally after 50 hours of use). The carbon brushes are installed inside the motor housing.

Using a screwdriver, remove the 2 pan head screws that hold the motor housing cap in place.

Once the motor housing cap is removed, to release the carbon brush from the holder, lower the retaining spring. Disconnect the carbon brush wire from the terminal, remove the carbon brush from the motor housing and inspect it. Repeat this step for the second carbon brush. Carbon brushes need to be replaced once they wear down to the limit mark.

Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.

If they have worn down to the limit mark, purchase a set of identical replacement carbon brushes (both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time). Insert new carbon brushes into the holders, connect them to the terminals, reposition the retaining spring and reinstall the motor housing cap using the 2 pan head screws

WORKING ADVICE

Working Advice

VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a power source

(receptacle, outlet, etc.) make sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool.

A power source with voltage greater than that for the specified tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY to the user - as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL.

Using a power source with less voltage is harmful to the motor.

KNOW YOUR TOOL

Read and understand the owner manual and labels affixed to the tool. Learn its application and limitation.

GROUND THE TOOL.

This tool is equipped with an approved 3conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding type receptacle. The green conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. NEVER connect the green wire to a live terminal.

KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE.

Keep in good working order, properly adjusted and aligned.

REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND

WRENCHES.

Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.

Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

Make sure the floor is clean and not slippery due to wax and sawdust build-up.

AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT.

Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose them to rain. Keep work area well-lit and provide adequate surrounding work space.

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.

MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF. Use padlocks, master switches or remove starter keys.

USE PROPER SPEED. A tool will do a better and safer job when operated at the proper speed.

USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force the tool or the attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

WEAR PROPER APPAREL.

Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry (rings, watch) because they could get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. Roll up long sleeves above the elbows.

ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.

Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses. Also use a face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.

DO NOT OVERREACH

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

MAINTAIN TOOL WITH CARE.

Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

LJ305SCMS-DB 15

WORKING ADVICE

DISCONNECT TOOLS.

Before servicing, when changing accessories or attachments.

AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging in.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

Consult the manual for recommended accessories. Follow the instructions that accompany the accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause hazards.

NEVER STAND ON TOOL.

Serious injury could occur if the tool tips over.

Do not store materials such that it is necessary to stand on the tool to reach them.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS.

Before further use of the tool, a guard or other parts that are damaged should be carefully checked to ensure that they will operate properly and perform their intended function.

Check for alignment of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other parts that are damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

NEVER LEAVE MACHINE RUNNING

UNATTENDED. Turn power "OFF". Don't leave any tool running until it comes to a complete stop.
