3. Proper use

The firewood circular saw is designed exclu-
sively with the offered tool for machining wood.
The machine complies with the applicable EC
machinery directive.
• The rocking log saw is designed as a one-man op-
erating station and is only to be used outdoors.
• Only the operator may work or load the product,
only two people may transport the product. Pull out
the mains plug before transport.
• The rocking log saw is a transportable circular saw.
It can only be used for cross-cutting firewood with
feed rocker in accordance with the technical data.
• The saw is designed exclusively for cross-cutting
firewood with a maximum length of 1m.
• Do not use the saw to cut other materials.
• Regardless of the wood diameter, only one work-
piece may be placed on the swivel frame.
• Observe all safety and danger notices on the ma-
chine and keep them complete and in legible con-
dition.
• The working area and surroundings of the machine
must be kept free of disruptive foreign bodies in or-
der to prevent accidents.
• Basically, the timbers to be cut must be free of for-
eign bodies such as nails and screws.
• Only use the machine when in a technically fault-
less condition, appropriately and in compliance
with the operating instructions and with full knowl-
edge of safety and hazards. In particular, rectify
malfunctions that could impair safety immediately
(or commission rectification works accordingly).
• The safety, operating and maintenance specifica-
tions of the manufacturer, as well as the dimensions
specified in the technical data, must be observed.
• The applicable accident prevention regulations and
the other generally accepted safety rules must be
complied with.
• The machine may only be used, maintained or re-
paired by persons who are familiar with it and have
been informed of the dangers. The manufacturer
shall not be liable for damage resulting from unau-
thorised changes to the machine.
• The machine may only be operated with original ac-
cessories and original tools from the manufacturer.
• Any use beyond this is improper use. The manufac-
turer is not responsible for the resulting damages;
the user solely bears the risk.
18 | GB
• Only use saw blades that comply with the Europe-
an standard DIN EN 847-1.
• Ensure adequate lighting.
• Make sure that the machine is stable on solid
ground during assembly.
• The area around the machine must be free of trip
hazards.
• The machine is equipped with an electronic brake,
do not brake the machine by the saw blade.
• The maximum workpiece weight should be no
more than 35kg due to one-man operation and the
ergonomic risks and must not exceed 50kg in order
to prevent overloading the swivel frame.
Please note that our equipment was not designed
with the intention of use for commercial or industrial
purposes. We assume no guarantee if the device is
used in commercial or industrial applications, or for
equivalent work.
4. m Residual risks
The machine has been built according to the
state-of-the-art and the recognised technical
safety requirements. However, individual resid-
ual risks can arise during operation.
• Danger of injury for fingers and hands due to the
rotating saw blade with improper guiding of the
workpiece.
• Risk to health from wood dust or wood chippings.
The type of wood and degree of drying has an influ-
ence on the exposure to dust. Use a chip extraction
system if necessary.
• Wearing personal protective equipment such as
protective goggles and dust masks is mandatory.
• Risk to health due to noise. The permissible noise
level is exceeded during operations. It is essential
that personal protective equipment, such as hear-
ing protection, is worn.
• Hazard due to electrical power, with the use of im-
proper 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.
• Injuries due to defective saw blade. Check the in-
tegrity of the saw blade regularly and before each
use.
• When using special accessories, the operating in-
structions enclosed with the special accessories
must be observed and read carefully.
• The noise emission can be reduced by using a spe-
cific saw blade.
