2. Specified Conditions of Use
This table circular saw is intended for ripping and
crosscutting grown timber, faced boards, chip
board and wood-core plywood sheets, plastics
and similar materials.
Metals can only be cut with the following
restrictions:
- With suitable saw blade only
(see chapter 13. Accessories")
- Only non-ferrous metals
(no hard metal or hardened metal, no
magnesium)
Do not cut round workpieces, since they could be
turned by the rotating saw blade.
When sawing thin stock laid on its edge, a
suitable guide must be used for firm support.
The tool must not be used for seaming and
grooving.
The tool must not be used for slitting (groove
ended in workpiece).
The tool must not be used for plunge cuts.
Any other use is considered to be not as specified
and not allowed. The manufacturer assumes no
liability for any damage caused by unspecified
use.
Modification of the machine or use of parts not
approved by the manufacturer can cause
unforeseeable damage!
3. General Safety Information
For your own protection and for the
protection of your electrical tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING - Reading the operating
instructions will reduce the risk of injury.
Pass on your power tool only together with these
documents.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING - Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety instructions and information
for future reference! The term "power tool" in the
warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power
tool.
3.1
Work Area Safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
3.2
Electrical Safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
3.3
Personal Safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the device may result
in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust extraction can reduce dust-
related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
use of tools allow you to become complacent
and ignore tool safety principles. A careless
action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
3.4
Power Tool Use and Care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children. Do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories with
care. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories, tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions.
Take into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
3.5
Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
4. Special Safety Instructions
4.1
Safety instructions related to guards
a) Leave the guards in place. Guards have to
be in functional condition and mounted
properly. Loose, damaged or not properly
functioning guards have to be repaired or
replaced.
b) Always use the guard and the splitting
wedge for cuts. For cuts where the saw blade
cuts completely through the thickness of the
workpiece, the guard and other safety devices
reduce the risk of injuries.
c) After finishing your work (e.g. seaming)
where the guard and splitting wedge have to
be removed, immediately reattach the
protective system. The guard and the splitting
wedge reduce the risk of injury.
d) Before switching on the power tool, make
sure that the saw blade is not in contact with
the guard, the splitting wedge or the
workpiece. Inadvertent contact of these
components with the saw blade could cause a
hazardous condition.
e) Adjust the splitting wedge as described in
this instruction manual. Incorrect spacing,
position and alignment are possible reasons for
failure of the splitting wedge to effectively prevent
kickback.
f) So that the splitting wedge can work, it
must be positioned in the saw gap. The
splitting wedge is ineffective when cutting
