6. Additional safety instructions

1 Safety precautions
– Warning! Do not use damaged or deformed
saw blades.
– Replace a worn table insert.
– Only use saw blades recommended by the
manufacturer which conform to EN 847-1.
– Make sure that a suitable saw blade for the
material to be cut is selected.
– Wear suitable personal protective equipment.
This includes:
– Hearing protection to avoid the risk of be-
coming hearing impaired,
– Respiratory protection to avoid the risk of
inhaling harmful dust,
– Wear gloves when handling saw blades and
rough materials. Carry saw blades in a con-
tainer whenever practical.
– Wear goggles. Sparks generated during
work or splinters, chippings and dust coming
from the device can lead to loss of eyesight.
– Connect a dust collecting device to the electric
tool when sawing wood. The emission of dust
is influenced, among other things, by the type
of material to be processed, the significance of
local separation (collection or source) and the
correct setting of the hood/guide plates/guides.
– Do not use saw blades made of high-speed
alloy steel (HSS steel).
2 Maintenance and repair
– Pull out the mains plug for any adjustment or
repair tasks.
– The generation of noise is influenced by vari-
ous factors, including the characteristics of saw
blades, condition of saw blade and electric tool.
Use saw blades which were designed for re-
duced noise development, insofar as possible.
Maintain the electric tool and tool attachments
regularly and if necessary, initiate repairs in
order to reduce noise.
– Report faults on the electric tool, protective
devices or the tool attachment to the person
responsible for safety as soon as they are dis-
covered.
3 Safe work
– Only use saw blades for which the maximum
permissible speed is not lower than the maxi-
mum spindle speed of table saws and which
are suitable for the material to be cut.
– Make sure that the saw blade does not touch
the rotary table in any position by pulling out
the mains plug and rotating the saw blade by
hand in the 45° and 90° position. If necessary,
readjust the saw head.

– When transporting the electric tool, only use
the transport devices. Never use the protective
devices for handling or transport.
– Make sure that the lower part of the saw blade
is covered during transport, e.g. by the protec-
tive device.
– Be sure to only use spacers and spindle rings
specified by the manufacturer as suitable for
the intended purpose.
– The floor around the machine must be level,
clean and free of loose particles, such as chips
and cutting residues.
– Do not remove any cutting residues or other
parts of workpieces from the cutting zone while
the machine is running and the saw unit is not
at rest.
– Make sure that the machine is always secured
on a workbench or a table if at all possible.
– Support long workpieces (e.g. with a roller ta-
ble) to prevent them sagging at the end of a cut.
– Make sure you select the appropriate saw blade
for the material you are cutting.
Warning! Never use the saw for cutting material
other than that specified by the manufacturer.
– Use the saw only when the protective devices
are functional, they are in good condition and
in the proper position.
– Ensure that the rotation speed indicated on the
saw blade is the same as the rotation speed
indicated on the saw.
– The workpiece must always be clamped at the
saw table.
– Before each cutting operation make sure that
the machine is safe.
Warning! This electric tool generates an electro-
magnetic field during operation. This field can impair
active or passive medical implants under certain
conditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or
deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with
medical implants consult with their physician and the
manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operat-
ing the electric tool.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE HANDLING
OF SAW BLADES
1. Only use insertion tools if you have mastered their
use.
2. Observe the maximum speed. The maximum
speed specified on the insertion tool may not be
exceeded. If specified, observe the speed range.
3. Observe the motor / saw blade direction of
rotation.
4. Do not use any insertion tools with cracks. Sort out
cracked insertion tools. Repairs are not permitted.
5. Clean grease, oil and water off of the clamping
surfaces.
