d)
Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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 and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's operation. If dam-
aged, 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 to control.
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.
h)
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles
and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
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.
m WARNING
Danger due to electromagnetic field
This power tool generates an electromagnetic field dur-
ing operation. This field can impair active or passive
medical implants under certain conditions.
-
In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly
injuries, we recommend that persons with medi-
cal implants consult with their physician and the
manufacturer of the medical implant prior to op-
erating the power tool.

Safety instructions for table saws
Guarding related warnings
a)
Keep guards in place. Guards must be in work-
ing order and be properly mounted. A guard
that is loose, damaged, or is not functioning cor-
rectly must be repaired or replaced.
b)
Always use saw blade guard and riving knife
for
through-cutting operations where the saw blade
cuts completely through the thickness of the work-
piece, the guard and other safety devices help re-
duce the risk of injury.
c)
Immediately reattach the guarding system af-
ter completing an operation (such as rabbet-
ing, dadoing or resawing cuts) which requires
removal of the saw blade guard and/or riving
knife. The guard and riving knife help to reduce
the risk of injury.
d)
Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the
guard, riving knife or the workpiece before the
switch is turned on. Inadvertent contact of these
items with the saw blade could cause a hazardous
condition.
e)
Adjust the riving knife as described in this in-
struction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning
and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective
in reducing the likelihood of kickback.
f)
For the riving knife to work, they must be en-
gaged in the workpiece. The riving knife is ineffec-
tive when cutting workpieces that are too short to be
engaged with the riving knife. Under these conditions
a kickback cannot be prevented by the riving knife.
g)
Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving
knife. For the riving knife to function properly, the
saw blade diameter must match the appropriate
riving knife and the body of the saw blade must be
thinner than the thickness of the riving knife and
the cutting width of the saw blade must be wider
than the thickness of the riving knife.
Cutting procedures warnings
a)
m DANGER: Never place your fingers or hands
in the vicinity of the saw blade or in the sawing
area. A moment of inattention or a slip could direct
your hand towards the saw blade and result in se-
rious personal injury.
