 Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
 Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
 Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people
who are not familiar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are
potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
 Maintenance. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any other
feature that might affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, the power tool
must be repaired. Many accidents are caused by using poorly maintained power tools.
 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
 Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, 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 which needs to be done. Using a power tool
in ways for which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous situations.
4.5 Service
 Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare
parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.
 Damaged switches must be replaced by our after-sales service department.
 If the connecting cable (or mains plug) is damaged, it must be replaced by a special
connecting cable which is available from our service department. Replacement of the
connecting cable should only be carried out by our service department (see last page) or
by a qualified specialist (qualified electrician).
5 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CROSS-CUT AND
TABLE SAWS
 Always wear eye protectors.
 Never use the equipment in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
 NEVER use the equipment when a cutting disc (and not a saw disc) has been attached.
 Before each use, check the saw blade for small cracks or damages. Replace a cracked or
damaged blade immediately.
 Never use saw blades made of high-speed steel (HSS).
 Only use saw blades that are recommended by the manufacturer and that fulfil the EN847-
1 standard. Also make sure the riving knife is not thicker than the width of the saw cut, and
that it is not thinner than the body of the saw blade.
 Always use the accessories that are recommended by this manual.
 Select the correct saw blade for the material must be sawn.
 To reduce the generation of noise, always make sure that the blade is sharp and clean.
 Only use correctly sharpened saw blades. Never exceed the maximum speed that is
indicated on the saw blade.
 Before installing the saw blade, clean the axle, the flanges (especially the assembly
surfaces) and the hexagonal nut. Incorrect mounting can lead to vibrations/knocking or
slipping of the saw blade.
 Wherever possible, use the saw guard and the riving knife with every type of application,
also when sawing material in two. Always mount the saw guard according to the
instructions in this manual. Cutting operations are those where the saw blade cuts
completely through the workpiece, such as for instance when doing longitudinal cuts or
shortening workpieces. NEVER use the equipment with a defective saw guard, and never
tie up the saw guard with a rope or cord. Every irregularity in the operation of the saw
guard must be immediately corrected.
