10. Tips and Tricks

•
Before cutting a workpiece to size
make trial cuts on pieces of scrap.
•
Always place a workpiece on the
saw table in such way that it cannot
tilt or rock (e.g. always place a
curved board on the table with the
convex side up).
•
When working long stock use suita-
ble supports, such as table rear or
side extensions (optional accesso-
ries).
•
To simplify repetitive cut-off work,
use a stock stop (optional acces-
sory).
•
Keep the surfaces of saw table and
supports clean – in particular,
remove resin residue with a suitable
Cleaning and Maintenance Spray
(optional accessory).

12. Repairs

A
Danger!
Repairs to electric tools must be car-
ried out by qualified electricians only!
Electric tools in need of repair can be
sent to the Service Centre of your coun-
try. See Spare Parts List for address.
Please attach a description of the fault to
the machine.

13. Environmental Protection

The machine's packing can be 100%
recycled.
Worn out power tools and accessories
contain considerable amounts of valua-
ble raw and rubber materials, which are
recyclable.
These instructions are printed on paper
produced with elemental chlorine-free
bleaching process.

14. Trouble Shooting

A
Danger!
Before carrying out any fault service
or maintenance work, always:
1. Turn machine OFF.
2. Unplug power cable.
3. Wait until the saw blade has come
to a complete stop.
After each service, enable all safety
devices and check to see that they are
fully operational.
