contact with the saw blade.
13 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.
14 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.
15 Do not leave a tool key inserted
– Before switching on, make sure that keys and
adjusting tools are removed.
16 Avoid inadvertent starting
– Make sure that the switch is switched off when
plugging the plug into an outlet.
17 Use extension cables for outdoors
– Only use approved and appropriately identified
extension cables for use outdoors.
– Only use cable reels in the unrolled state.
18 Remain attentive
– Pay attention to what you are doing. Remain
sensible when working. Do not use the electric
tool when you are distracted.
19 Check the electric tool for potential damage
– Protective devices and other parts must be care-
fully inspected to ensure that they are fault-free
and function as intended prior to continued use
of the electric tool.
– Check whether the moving parts function fault-
lessly and do not jam or whether parts are dam-
aged. All parts must be correctly mounted and all
conditions must be fulfilled to ensure fault-free
operation of the electric tool.
– The moving protective hood may not be fixed in
the open position.
– Damaged protective devices and parts must be
properly repaired or replaced by a recognised
workshop, insofar as nothing different is speci-
fied in the operating manual.
– Damaged switches must be replaced at a cus-
tomer service workshop.
– Do not use any faulty or damaged connection
cables.
– Do not use any electric tool on which the switch
cannot be switched on and off.
20 ATTENTION!
– Exercise elevated caution for double mitre cuts.
21 ATTENTION!
– The use of other insertion tools and other acces-
sories can entail a risk of injury.
22 Have your electric tool repaired by a qualified
electrician
– This electric tool conforms to the applicable safety
regulations. Repairs may only be performed by an
electrician using original spare parts. Otherwise
accidents can occur.
23 Do not use the cable for purposes for which it
is not intended
– Do not use the cable to pull the plug out of the
outlet. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
Safety precautions
– Warning! Do not use damaged, cracked or de-
formed saw blades.
– Replace a worn table insert.
– Only use saw blades recommended by the manufac-
turer which conform to EN 847-1.
m Warning! Keep attention When changing the saw
blade.The cutting width is not smaller and the main
blade thickness of the saw blade is not greater than
the thickness of the gap wedge!
– Make sure that a suitable saw blade for the material
to be cut is selected.
– Wear suitable personal protective equipment. This
includes:
Hearing protection to avoid the risk of becoming
hearing impaired,
Respiratory protection to avoid the risk of inhaling
harmful dust,
– Wear gloves when handling saw blades and rough
materials.
– Carry saw blades in a container whenever practical.
– Wear goggles. Sparks generated during work or
splinters, chippings and dust coming from the device
can lead to loss of eyesight.
– Connect a dust collecting device to the electric tool
when sawing wood. The emission of dust is influ-
enced, among other things, by the type of material
to be processed, the significance of local separation
(collection or source) and the correct setting of the
hood/guide plates/guides.
– Do not use saw blades made of high-speed alloy
steel (HSS steel).
– In times of non-use keep the push stick or the push
block with the electrical power tool in its holder at all
times.
Maintenance and repair
– Pull out the mains plug for any adjustment or repair
tasks.
– The generation of noise is influenced by various
factors, including the characteristics of saw blades,
condition of saw blade and electric tool. Use saw
blades which were designed for reduced noise de-
velopment, insofar as possible. Maintain the electric
tool and tool attachments regularly and if necessary,
initiate repairs in order to reduce noise.
– Report faults on the electric tool, protective devices
or the tool attachment to the person responsible for
safety as soon as they are discovered.
Safety notices for operation as chop and mitre
saw
Safe operation
• Select a saw blade suitable for the work piece you

• Never use the table, chop and mitre saw for cutting
material other than that specified by the manufac-
turer.
• When transporting the machine, use the transport
device. Never use safety equipment for handling or
transporting the machine.
• Use the saw only when it is in a good condition and
has been maintained properly.
