may put you at risk of injury.
• Always pull the plug out of the power socket before
adjusting or servicing the machine.
• Give these safety regulations to all persons who
work on the machine.
• Caution! Hands and fingers may be injured on the
rotating saw blade.
• The machine is equipped with a safety circuit-break-
er to prevent it starting up again after a voltage drop.
• Before you use the machine for the first time, check
that the voltage marked on the rating plate is the
same as your mains voltage.
• If you need to use an extension cable, make sure its
conductor cross-section is big enough for the sawʼs
power consumption. Minimum cross-section 1,5
mm² or 2,5 mm² for cable lengths of 20 m or more.
• If you use a cable reel, the complete cable must be
pulled off the reel.
• Check the power cable. Never use a faulty or dam-
aged power cable.
• Do not use the cable to pull the plug out of the
socket. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
• Do not leave the saw in the rain and never use it in
damp or wet conditions.
• Provide good lighting.
• Do not saw near flammable liquids or gases.
• Wear suitable work clothes! Loose garments or
jewelry may become caught up in the rotating saw
blade.

outdoors.
• Wear a hair net if you have long hair.
• Avoid abnormal working postures.
• Operators must be at least 16 years of age.
• Keep children away from the machine when it is
connected to the power supply.
• Keep your workplace clean of wood scrap and any
unnecessary objects.
• An untidy work area invites accidents.
• Do not allow other persons, especially children, to
touch the tool or cable. Keep them out of your work
area.
• Persons working on the machine should not be
distracted.
• Note the direction of rotation of the motor and saw
blade. Use only blades whose permissible maxi-
mum speed is not lower than the maximum spindle
speed of the circular saw and of the material to
be cut.
• After you have switched off the motor, never slow
down the saw blade by applying pressure to its side.
• Only fit blades which are well sharpened and have
no cracks or deformations.
• Do not use circular saw blades made of high-alloy
high-speed steel (HSS).

data specified in this manual.
• Never dismantle the machineʼs safety devices or
render them inoperative.
• If the table insert is worn, replace it.
• Always stand to the side of the saw blade when

regulations in force in your area as well as all other
generally recognized rules of safety.
