12. Secure the workpiece
- Use the clamping devices or a vice to hold the workpiece in place. In
this manner, it is held more securely than with your hand.
- An additional support is necessary for long workpieces (table, tres-
tle, etc.) in order to prevent the machine from tipping over.
- Always press the workpiece firmly against the working plate and
stop in order to prevent bouncing and twisting of the workpiece.
13. Avoid abnormal posture
- Make sure that you have secure footing and always maintain your
balance.
- Avoid awkward hand positions in which a sudden slip could cause
one or both hands to come into contact with the saw blade.
14. Take care of your tools
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean in order to be able to work better
and more safely.
- Follow the instructions for lubrication and for tool replacement.
- Check the connection cable of the electric tool regularly and have it
replaced by a recognised specialist when damaged.
- Check extension cables regularly and replace them when damaged.
- Keep the handle dry, clean and free of oil and grease.
15. Pull the plug out of the outlet
- Never remove loose splinters, chips or jammed wood pieces from
the running saw blade.
- During non-use of the electric tool or prior to maintenance and when
replacing tools such as saw blades, bits, milling heads.
- When the saw blade is blocked due to abnormal feed force during
cutting, turn the machine off and disconnect it from power supply.
Remove the work piece and ensure that the saw blade runs free.
Turn the machine on and start new cutting operation with reduced
feed force.
16. Do not leave a tool key inserted
- Before switching on, make sure that keys and adjusting tools are
removed.
17. Avoid inadvertent starting
