The relevant accident prevention regulations for the
operation as well as the other generally acknowledged
occupational medicine and safety rules must be complied
with.
Any other use is deemed not to be use as prescribed. The
manufacturer is not liable for any type of damage resulting
from this: the user bears the sole risk.
Independently made alterations to the circular saw preclude
any liability of the manufacturer for resulting damages of
any kind.
The circular saw may only be equipped, used and
serviced by persons who are familiar with these and have
been instructed in the hazards. Repair works may only be
carried out by us or by a customer service agent nominated
by us.
The machine may not be used in a potentially explosive
environment or be exposed to the rain.
Metal parts (nails, etc.) must be removed from the timber to
be sawn.

Even if used properly, residual risks can exist even if the
relevant safety regulations are complied with due to the design
determined by the intended purpose.
Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety information" and
the "Intended usage" as well as the whole of the operating
instructions are observed.
Observing these instructions, and taking proper care, will
reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment.
Danger of injury of fingers and hands by the tool (saw
blade) or work piece, e.g. when replacing the saw blade.
Injury from parts of the workpiece spinning off.
Throwback of the workpiece or workpiece parts.
Breakage and expulsion of saw blade.
Risk from electricity, by using non-standard electrical
connections.
Touching live parts of opened electrical components.
Impairment of hearing when working on the machine for
longer periods of time without ear protection.
Emission of harmful timber dust when operating without
exhaust suction.
In addition, in spite of all the precautionary measures taken,
non-obvious residual risks can still exist.

Wear protective clothing:
− ear protection (sound pressure levels at the workplace
usually exceed 85 dB(A)
− safety goggles
− Dust mask with work activities generating dust
− Gloves when replacing the saw blade
Only operate the circular saw on a
− solid
− level
− slip-free
− vibration free surface
Keep your workplace in an orderly condition! Untidiness
can result in accidents.
Take into consideration environmental influences:
− Do not expose the saw to rain.
− Do not use the saw in a damp or wet environment.
− Provide for good illumination.
− Do not use the saw near to flammable liquids or
gases.
− The wood dust generated during operation impedes the
necessary view and is harmful to health to some degree.
If the machine is not used in the open air, a shavings
exhausts must be attached to both exhaust outlets
(e.g. small transportable dust remover).
Never leave the saw unattended.
Persons under the age of 18 must not operate the circular

Keep them away from your working area.
Take up a working position, in which you are always to the
side of the saw blade outside of the cutting level.
If a second person is working at the saw with you, that
person must stand at the opposite end of the bench length
extension.
