Mains connection

B
Danger! High voltage
 Operate this device only in a dry en-
vironment.
 Operate the saw only on a power
source matching the following re-
quirements (see also "Technical
Specifications"):
– mains voltage and system fre-
quency conform to the voltage
and frequency shown on the ma-
chine's name plate;
– fuse protection by a residual cur-
rent operated device (RCD) of
30 mA sensitivity;
– Outlets properly installed,
earthed and tested.
 Make sure that the power supply
cable is out of the way, so that it
does not interfere with the work and
cannot be damaged.

 Protect mains cable from heat, ag-
61
gressive liquids and sharp edges.
 Use only rubber cables of sufficient
cross section (3 × 1.5 mm
tension cables.
 Do not pull on the power supply ca-
ble to unplug.

Operation

Before starting any work, check to

see that the safety devices are in
proper working order.
 Use personal protection gear.
 Assume proper operating position:
– at the front of the saw;
– in front of the saw;
– to the side of the line of cut.
A
Danger!
When sawing ensure that the work-
piece is always clamped with the work
clamp.
 Never saw workpieces which can-
not be clamped with the work
clamp.
A
Risk of crushing!
When tilting the sawhead do not reach
into the tilting range of the sawhead
holder or under the machine!
 Hold at the sawhead.
 For working, use the following:
– work support – for long stock,
which would otherwise fall off the
table on completion of the cut;
– chip bag or dust extractor.
 Cut only stock of dimensions that al-
low for safe and secure holding
while cutting.
Always hold the workpiece down on

the table and do not jam it. Do not
attempt to stop the saw blade by ex-
erting lateral pressure. Risk of injury
if the saw blade is blocked.
