• Ensure secure footing and always keep your bal-
ance.
• Check the machine for potential damage!
• Before using the machine, carefully check safety
equipment or slightly damaged parts to ensure their
flawless and intended function.
• Check whether the moveable parts are working
without problem and do not jam, and whether parts
are damaged. All parts must be installed properly
and meet all conditions in order to guarantee flaw-
less operation of the machine.
• Damaged safety equipment and parts must be re-
paired by an authorised specialist or replaced if
nothing else is specified in the manual.
• Have damaged switches replaced by a service
workshop.
• This machine complies with relevant safety stipula-
tions. Repairs must be carried out by an electrician
using original spare parts; otherwise accidents may
be caused to the user.
• Replace worn table inserts.
• Do not use saw blades made of high speed steel.
• Make sure that the device for swivelling the arm is
securely fastened when using the mitre saw.
• Be careful when working at a right angle.
• WARNING! You must be particularly careful when
carrying out double mitre cuts!
• Do not overload your machine.
• Wear safety goggles.
• If your work creates dust, wear a face mask.
• Check the cable/extension lead for damage.
• Wear gloves when handling saw blades.
Safety notices for operation as a table circular
saw
Safe operation
• Use the push stick or the handle with push block
to guide the work piece safely past the saw blade.
• Use the riving knife and set it up correctly.
• Use the upper saw blade guard and set it up cor-
rectly.
• Circular saws must not be used for slotting (cutting
a groove in the work piece).
• Always use saw blades where the maximum per-
mitted speed is not less than the maximum spindle
speed of the table circular saw and the material you
are cutting.
• When transporting the machine, use the transport
device. Never use safety equipment for handling or
transporting the machine.
• During transport, the upper part of the saw blade
must be covered, for example by the guard.
• Prevent long work pieces from tipping at the end of
the cutting process (e.g. roller stand).
Additional information
Pass on the safety notices to everyone working with
the machine.
• Do not use the saw for cutting fire wood.
• Do not crosscut round timber.
m CAUTION
• The rotating saw blade poses the risk of injury to
hands and fingers.
• The machine is equipped with a safety switch to
protect against turning on after a voltage drop.
• Before commissioning the machine, check whether
the voltage on its rating plate corresponds with the
mains voltage.
• If an extension lead is required, ensure that its
cross section is sufficient for the current consump-
tion of the saw. Minimum cross section 1.5 mm2.
• Fully extend the cable from the cable drum before
use.
• Check the mains connection cable. Do not use
faulty or damaged connection cables.
• The operator must be at least 18 years old.
• Keep your work area free from wood waste and
parts lying around.
• People working with the machine must not be dis-
tracted.
• Adhere to the rotational direction or motor and saw
blade.
• Do not, under any circumstances, stop the saw
blade after turning the power off by pushing it side-
ways.
• Fit well-sharpened, flawless and true saw blades
only.
• The machine's safety devices must not be removed
or made unusable.
• Faulty saw blades must be replaced immediately.
• Do not use saw blades that do not comply with the
specified data in the user manual.
• Ensure that all devices covering the saw blade
work flawlessly.
• WARNING! Insert cuts must not be carried out
with this saw.
• Damaged or faulty safety equipment must be re-
placed immediately.
• The riving knife is an important safety device which
guides the work piece and prevents closure of the
cut kerf behind the saw blade and recoil of the work
piece. Observe the width of the riving knife. The
riving knife must not be thinner than the saw blade
body and not wider than its cut kerf width.
• During every operation, the protective cover must
be lowered onto the work piece.
• When cutting small work pieces lengthways, make
sure you use a push stick (width smaller than 120
mm).
• Do not cut work pieces that are too small to hold
safely in your hand.
• When cutting small pieces of timber, the rip fence
must be secured on the correct side of the saw
blade.
• Always position yourself to the side of the saw
blade when working.
• Do not load the machine so much that it comes to
a standstill.
• Always push the work piece tightly down onto the
work top.
• Ensure that cut off timber pieces are not caught by
the saw blade's teeth and ejected.
• All protective and safety equipment must be re-
attached immediately after completing repairs and
maintenance.
• The manufacturer's stipulations concerning safety,
work and maintenance as well as the measure-
ments specified in Technical Data, must be com-
plied with.
• The relevant accident prevention stipulations and
other widely recognised safety rules must be ob-
served.
• Adhere to specifications by the staff association.
• Attach the dust extraction unit for every job. The
operator must be informed of the conditions which
influence dust release, e.g. the type of material
(registration and source), the significance of local
