velopment, insofar as possible. Maintain the elec-
tric tool and tool attachments regularly and if nec-
essary, initiate repairs in order to reduce noise.
• Report faults on the electric tool, protective devices
or the tool attachment to the person responsible for
safety as soon as they are discovered.
Safe work
• Use a push rod or the handle with wooden push
block in order to guide the workpiece safely past
the saw blade.
• Make sure that the riving knife is always used and
that it is correctly adjusted.
• Use and correctly set the upper saw blade guard.
• Only use saw blades for which the maximum per-
missible speed is not lower than the maximum
spindle speed of the insertion tool and which are
suitable for the material to be cut.
• Do not carry out rebating or grooving without a suit-
able protective device, such as a tunnel guard, be-
ing fitted over the saw table.
• Circular saws must not be used for slotting (groove
ends in the workpiece).
• When transporting the electric tool, only use the
transport devices. Never use the protective devices
for handling or transport.
• Make sure that the upper part of the saw blade is
covered during transport, e.g. by the protective de-
vice.
• Make sure to only use spacers and spindle rings
that are suitable for the purpose specified by the
manufacturer.
• The floor around the machine must be level, clean
and free of loose particles such as chips and cut-
ting residue.
• Working position always to the side of the saw
blade.
• Do not remove cutting waste or miscellaneous
parts of the workpiece from the cutting area so long
as the machine is running and the sawing unit has
not yet come to a standstill.
• Ensure that the machine is always attached to a
workbench or table whenever possible.
• Secure long workpieces against tipping at the end
of the cutting process (e.g. with a reel-off stand or
roller trestle).
• m Attention! Never remove loose splinters, chips or
jammed wood pieces from the running saw blade.
• To rectify faults or remove jammed pieces of wood,
switch the machine off. - Pull out the mains plug -
• Only carry out modifications, adjustment, measuring
and cleaning work when the engine is switched off.
- Pull out the mains plug -
• Before switching on, make sure that keys and ad-
justing tools are removed.
m Warning! This power tool generates an electromag-
netic field during 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 medical implants
consult with their physician and the manufacturer of
the medical implant prior to operating the power tool.
Safety instructions for the handling of saw blades
1. Only use insertion tools if you have mastered their
use.
2. Observe the maximum speed. The maximum
speed specified on the insertion tool may not be
exceeded. If specified, observe the speed range.
3. Observe the motor / saw blade direction of rota-
tion.
4. Do not use any insertion tools with cracks. Sort
out cracked insertion tools. Repairs are not per-
mitted.
5. Clean dirt, grease, oil and water off of the clamp-
ing surfaces.
6. Do not use any loose reducing rings or bushes to
reduce holes on circular saw blades.
7. Make sure that fixed reducer rings for securing
the insertion tool have the same diameter and
have at least 1/3 of the cutting diameter.
8. Make sure that fixed reducer rings are parallel to
each other.
9. Handle insertion tool with caution. They are ideally
stored in the originally package or special contain-
ers. Wear protective gloves in order to improve grip
and to further reduce the risk of injury.
10. Prior to the use of insertion tools, make sure that
all protective devices are properly fastened.
11. Prior to use, make sure that the insertion tool
meets the technical requirements of this electric
tool and is properly fastened.
12. Only use the supplied saw blade for cutting wood,
never for the processing of metals.
Residual risks
The electric tool is state-of-the-art and has been built
according to the recognised technical safety regu-
lations. However, individual residual risks can arise
during operation.
• Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use
of improper electrical connection cables.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been
met, some non-obvious residual risks may still re-
main.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the "safety in-
structions" and the "Proper use" are observed
along with the whole of the operating instructions.
• Do not unnecessary stress the machine: too much
pressure when sawing will damage the saw blade
quickly. This results in reduced output of the ma-
chine in the processing and in cut precision.
