• Check the power cable regularly and have it re-
placed by an authorized specialist at the first sign
of any damage.
• Check your extension cables regularly and replace
them if damaged.
• When working outdoors, use only extension cables
that are approved for outdoor use and which are
marked accordingly.
• Concentrate on what you are doing. Use common
sense when working. Do not operate the tool if your
mind is not on your work.
• Never use an electric tool with a switch that cannot
be turned on and off.
• Warning! The use of other tools and accessories
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 sock-
et. 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
jewellery may become caught up in the rotating
saw blade.
• Non-slip shoes are recommended when working
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 maximum
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).
• Only use saw blades that are recommended by the
manufacturer, comply with EN 847-1 and bear a
warning note. When replacing the saw blade ensure
that the cutting width is no smaller than the blade
thickness of the saw blade.
• Faulty saw blades must be replaced immediately.
• Never use saw blades which do not comply with the
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
working with the saw.
• Never load the machine so much that it cuts out.
• Make sure that off-cuts do not catch on the saw
blade crown. Risk of catapulting!
• Never remove loose splinters, chips or jammed piec-
es of wood when the saw blade is running, unless a
push stick is used.
• To rectify faults or remove jammed pieces of wood,
always switch off the machine first. Pull the power
plug!
• If the sawing gap is worn, replace the table insert.
Pull the power plug!
• Carry out retooling work, adjustments, measure-
ments and cleaning jobs only when the motor is
switched off. Pull the power plug!
• Before switching on, make sure that all keys and
wrenches have been removed from the tool.
• Switch off the motor and pull the power plug before
you leave the workplace.
