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 manu-
facturer which conform to EN 847-1.
m
Warning! When changing the saw blade, en-
sure that the cutting width is not smaller and the
width of the saw blade disc is not greater than the
thickness of the riving knife!
– Make sure that a suitable saw blade for the material
to be cut is selected.
– Wear suitable personal protective equipment. This
includes: Hearing protection to reduce the risk of
hearing loss, respiratory protection to reduce the
risk of inhaling hazardous dust.
– Wear gloves when handling saw blades and rough
materials.
– Carry saw blades in a container whenever practical.
– Wear safety goggles. Sparks created during work or
fragments, chippings and dust ejected by the device
can case sight loss.
– Connect a dust collecting device to the electric tool
when sawing wood. The emission of dust is influ-
enced, 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).
– Always keep the push stick or wooden push block in
its holder on the electric tool when not in use.
Maintenance and service
– 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 de-
velopment, insofar as possible. Maintain the electric
tool and tool attachments regularly and if necessary,
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 stick 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 permis-
sible 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, being
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 cov-
ered during transport, e.g. by the protective device.
– 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 cutting
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 fragments, 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, adjustments, meas-
urements and cleaning work when the engine is
switched off. -Pull out the mains plug-
– Before switching on, make sure that keys and adjust-
ing tools are removed.
Warning! This power tool generates an electromagnet-
ic field during operation. This field can impair active or
passive medical implants under certain circumstanc-
es. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly
injuries, we recommend that persons with medical
implants consult with their physician and the manu-
facturer of the medical implant prior to operating the
power tool.
