Secure the workpiece

–

Use the clamping devices or a vice to hold the

workpiece in place. In this manner, it is held

more securely than with your hand.

–

An additional support is necessary for long work-

pieces (table, trestle, etc.) in order to prevent the

machine from tipping over.

–

Always press the workpiece firmly against

the working plate and stop in order to prevent

bouncing and twisting of the workpiece.

Avoid abnormal posture

–

Make sure that you have secure footing and

always maintain your balance.

–

Avoid awkward hand positions in which a sudden

slip could cause one or both hands to come into

contact with the saw blade.

Take care of your tools

–

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean in order to be

able to work better and more safely.

–

Follow the instructions for lubrication and for tool

replacement.

–

Check the connection cable of the electric tool

regularly and have it replaced by a recognised

specialist when damaged.

–

Check extension cables regularly and replace

them when damaged.

–

Keep the handle dry, clean and free of oil and

grease.

Pull the plug out of the outlet

–

Never remove loose splinters, chips or jammed

wood pieces from the running saw blade.

–

During non-use of the electric tool or prior to

maintenance and when replacing tools such as

saw blades, bits, milling heads.

–

When the saw blade is blocked due to abnormal

feed force during cutting, turn the machine off

and disconnect it from power supply. Remove

the work piece and ensure that the saw blade

runs free. Turn the machine on and start new

cutting operation with reduced feed force.

Do not leave a tool key inserted

–

Before switching on, make sure that keys and

adjusting tools are removed.

Avoid inadvertent starting

–

Make sure that the switch is switched off when

plugging the plug into an outlet.

Use extension cables for outdoors

–

Only use approved and appropriately identified

extension cables for use outdoors.

–

Only use cable reels in the unrolled state.

Remain attentive

–

Pay attention to what you are doing. Remain

sensible when working. Do not use the electric

tool when you are distracted.

Check the electric tool for potential damage

–

Protective devices and other parts must be care-

fully inspected to ensure that they are fault-free

and function as intended prior to continued use

of the electric tool.

–

Check whether the moving parts function fault-

lessly and do not jam or whether parts are dam-

aged. All parts must be correctly mounted and all

conditions must be fulfilled to ensure fault-free

operation of the electric tool.

–

The moving protective hood may not be fixed in

the open position.

–

Damaged protective devices and parts must be

properly repaired or replaced by a recognised

workshop, insofar as nothing different is speci-

fied in the operating manual.

–

Damaged switches must be replaced at a cus-

tomer service workshop.

–

Do not use any faulty or damaged connection

cables.

–

Do not use any electric tool on which the switch

cannot be switched on and off.

ATTENTION!

–

Exercise elevated caution for double mitre cuts.

ATTENTION!

–

The use of other insertion tools and other acces-

sories can entail a risk of injury.

Have your electric tool repaired by a qualified

electrician

–

This electric tool conforms to the applicable safety

regulations. Repairs may only be performed by an

electrician using original spare parts. Otherwise

accidents can occur.

Do not use the cable for purposes for which it

is not intended

–

Do not use the cable to pull the plug out of the

outlet. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp

edges.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety precautions

–

Warning! Do not use damaged, cracked or

deformed saw blades.

–

Replace a worn table insert.

–

Only use saw blades recommended by the

manufacturer which conform to EN 847-1.

Warning! Keep attention When changing the

saw blade.The cutting width is not smaller and

the main blade thickness of the saw blade is not

greater than the thickness of the gap wedge!

–

Make sure that a suitable saw blade for the ma-

terial to be cut is selected.

–

Wear suitable personal protective equipment.

This includes:

Hearing protection to avoid the risk of becoming

hearing impaired,

Respiratory protection to avoid the risk of inhal-

ing harmful dust,

–

Wear gloves when handling saw blades and

rough materials.

–

Carry saw blades in a container whenever practi-

cal.

–

Wear goggles. Sparks generated during work or

splinters, chippings and dust coming from the

device can lead to loss of eyesight.

–

Connect a dust collecting device to the electric

tool when sawing wood. The emission of dust

is influenced, among other things, by the type

of material to be processed, the significance of

local separation (collection or source) and the

correct setting of the hood/guide plates/guides.

–

Do not use saw blades made of high-speed alloy

steel (HSS steel).

–

In times of non-use keep the push stick or the

push block with the electrical power tool in its

holder at all times.

Maintenance and repair

–

Pull out the mains plug for any adjustment or

repair tasks.

–

The generation of noise is influenced by various

factors, including the characteristics of saw

blades, condition of saw blade and electric

tool. Use saw blades which were designed for

reduced noise development, insofar as possible.

Maintain the electric tool and tool attachments

regularly and if necessary, initiate repairs in

order to reduce noise.
