d) Align the stop rail parallel to the saw blade.
A stop rail that is not aligned will push the work-
piece against the saw blade and create kickback.
e) With concealed saw cuts (e.g. folds, grooves
or slits in the turning process), use a thrust
collar to guide the workpiece against the table
and stop rail.
Using a thrust collar, you are able to better control
the workpiece in the event of kickback.
f) Apply particular caution when sawing assem-
bled workpieces in areas that are not visible.
The plunging saw blade can saw into objects that
could cause a kickback.
g) Support large panels, in order to avoid the risk
of kickback due to a jammed saw blade.
Large panels may bend under their own weight.
Panels must be supported in all areas where they
overhang the table surface.
h) Apply particular caution when sawing work-
pieces that are twisted, knotted or warped, or
that do not have a straight edge that can be
used to guide them with a mitre stop or along a
stop rail. A twisted, knotted or warped workpiece
is unstable and results in incorrect alignment of the
kerf with the saw blade, jamming and kickback.
i) Never saw multiple workpieces stacked on top
of each other, or one behind the other. The saw
blade could engage in one or more parts and result
in kickback.
j) If you wish to restart a saw, the saw blade of
which is inserted in a workpiece, centre the
saw blade in the sawing gap so that the saw
teeth are not hooked in the workpiece. If the
saw blade is jammed, it can lift the workpiece and
cause kickback when the saw is restarted.
k) Always keep saw blades clean, sharp and suf-
ficiently set. Never use warped saw blades
or saw blades with cracked or broken teeth.
Sharp and correctly set saw blades minimise jam-
ming, blocking and kickback.
Safety instructions for the operation of circular
table saws
a) Switch off the circular table saw and discon-
nect it from the power supply before removing
the table insert, changing the saw blade, im-
plementing settings on the riving knife or the
saw blade protective cover, and if the machine
is left unattended. Precautionary measures
serve to prevent accidents.
b) Never leave the circular table saw running
unattended. Switch off the electric tool and
do not leave it until it has come to a complete
standstill. An unattended running saw poses an
uncontrolled risk.
c) Set up the circular table saw in a location that
is level and well ventilated, and where it can
stand safely and remain balanced. The instal-
lation site must provide sufficient space for
easily handling the size of your workpieces.
Disorganised and unlit working areas, and uneven,
slippery floors may lead to accidents.
d) Regularly remove chips and sawdust from be-
neath the saw table and/or from the dust ex-
traction system. Accumulated sawdust is flam-
mable and can self-ignite.
e) Secure the circular table saw. If a circular table
saw is not secured correctly, it can move or topple.
f) Remove the adjustment tools, wood residues,
etc. from the circular table saw before switch-
ing it on. Deflections and possible jams could be
dangerous.
g) Always use the right size of saw blade
and an appropriate location hole (e.g. dia-
mond-shaped or round). Saw blades that do not
fit with the mounting parts of the saw will run out-
of-centre and result in a loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade
mounting materials, such as flanges, washers,
screws or nuts. These saw blade mounting ma-
terials have been specially designed for your saw,
for optimum performance and operational safety.
i) Never stand on the circular table saw and do
not use it as a step stool. Serious injuries can
arise if the electric tool topples or if you accidental-
ly come into contact with the saw blade.
j) Make sure that the saw blade is mounted in the
correct direction of rotation. Do not use grind-
ing discs or wire brushes with the circular ta-
ble saw. Incorrect assembly of the saw blade or
the use of accessories that have not been recom-
mended can result in serious injuries.
Safety instructions for handling saw blades
1. Only use tools which you know how to handle.
2. Pay attention to the maximum speed. The maxi-
mum speed stated on the tool being used must not
be exceeded. Keep within the speed range if one
is specified
