• Do not use any blunt, cracked, bent or
damaged saw blades. Saw blades with
blunt or incorrectly aligned teeth cause
increased friction, jamming of the saw
blade and kickback due to too narrow a
sawing gap.
• Always use saw blades of the right size
and with the receiving hole (e.g. star-
shaped or round). Saw blades not suita-
ble for the mounting parts of the saw do
not run smoothly and lead to a loss of con-
trol.
• Do not use saw blades made of high-
alloy high-speed steel (HSS steel).
Such saw blades can break easily.
• Do not touch the saw blade after work-
ing until it has cooled down. The saw
blade becomes very hot when working.
• Never use the tool without the inser-
tion plate. Replace a defective inser-
tion plate. You may suffer injuries from
the saw blade if the insertion plate is not
in immaculate condition.
Additional safety instructions
• Check the electrical tool for possible
damage. Before further use of the electri-
cal tool you must check the safety equip-
ment or slightly damaged parts for correct
and proper functioning.
• Do not stand in a line with the saw
blade in front of the machine. Always
stand aside of the saw blade. This pro-
tects your body against possible kickback.
• Replace a worn bench inlay.
• Only use the saw blades determined by
the manufacturer. The specified saw
blades for processing wood must meet
EN 847-1.
• Wear personal safety gear if required.
This may include:
– Ear defenders to reduce the risk of
becoming deaf.
– Goggles.
– Face mask to minimise the risks of
breathing in hazardous dust.
– Gloves when handling the saw blade
and rough materials (recommendation:
saw blades should, whenever practical,
be carried in a container).
• Select a suitable saw blade for the mate-
rial to be cut.
• Warning! Never use the saw to cut mate-
rials other than those specified.
• Only use the saw when the protective
mechanisms are fully functional, in good
working order and in the intended posi-
tion.
• Ensure that spacers and spindle rings are
used only for the purpose specified by the
manufacturer.
• Prior to each sawing procedure, ensure
that the machine is standing securely.
• If necessary, support long workpieces
with suitable additional underlays.
• If necessary, secure the machine to a
workbench or similar.
• Be sure, that the speed rating of the saw
blades be higher than the minimum speed
indicated on the device.
• Only use the transport facilities when
transporting or handling the machine,
never the safety equipment.
• Do not allow other persons especially chil-
dren to touch the electrical tool or cable.
• Remember that moving parts may also be
located behind ventilation and venting
slots.
• Symbols appearing on your product must
not be removed or covered. Signs on the
product that are no longer legible must be
replaced immediately.
Read and observe the instructions for
use before using the product for the
first time.
Pay attention to your hands and other
parts of your body when working with
and on the saw.
Dust extraction
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
paint, some types of wood, minerals and
metal may be harmful to health. Touching of
inhaling the dusts can cause allergic reac-
tions and/or ailments of the respiratory tract of
the user or persons in the vicinity. Certain
dusts such as oak or beech dust are consid-
ered carcinogenic, particularly in combination
with wood treatment additives (chromate,
wood preservatives). Materials containing
asbestos may only be processed by experts.
– Always use a dust extraction facility.
– Make sure the workplace is well venti-
lated.
– Always wear a dust protection mask.
– Observe the regulations valid in your
country for the materials to be processed.
