Wear suitable personal protective

equipment: ear protection to

reduce the risk of hearing loss;

safety goggles; a dust mask to

prevent inhalation of harmful

dust; protective gloves when

working with raw materials and when changing

tools.

• Only transport the tool in suitable packaging.

Maintenance and repair

• Replace worn table inserts.

• Only use the machine if all protection devices

are in their correct positions, the machine is in

good condition and has been well maintained.

• Faults on the machine, including the separating

guards or the tool, must be reported to main-

tenance staff immediately upon discovery. The

machine must not be used until the fault has

been eliminated.

• If the machine is equipped with a laser, ensure

it is always replaced by a laser of the same type.

Repairs must only be made by the laser manu-

facturer or an authorised agent.

Safe work

• Only process material for which the machine

has been approved.

• Never process material contain asbestos.

• Ensure that the ﬂ oor around the machine is

level, clean and free of loose objects (e.g. chips

and offcuts).

• Keep hands, ﬁ ngers and arms well away from

the rotating tool. Never reach into the area of

the saw blade behind the stop.

• Always assume the correct position before start-

ing work:

- front at the operating end,

- facing the machine,

- next to the cutting line.

• Do not remove offcuts or other workpiece parts

from the cutting area while the machine is still

running and until the saw blade stops.

• Use a suitable device to support long workpieces

and ensure that they are horizontal.

• Never allow another person to hold or support

the workpiece when sawing. Always clamp the

workpiece ﬁ rmly using the clamping collet [5-6]

supplied.

• Observe the speciﬁ ed maximum workpiece di-

mensions.

• Observe the instructions for lifting and trans-

porting the machine.

• Observe the instructions for installing and op-

erating the machine.

• Ensure the permissible dimensions of the saw

blade are not exceeded. Never use reducers or

adapters to secure the saw blade on the tool

spindle.

• Do not saw wood containing metal parts such

as nails, screws, etc.

• Do not apply lateral force to the saw blade.

• Always saw only one workpiece. It is not possible

to safely secure several workpieces; they can

displace each other during sawing and block

the saw blade.

• If the saw blade is blocked, switch the machine

off immediately and disconnect the mains plug.

Do not remove the jammed workpiece until you

have done this.

• Always guide the saw unit steadily upwards by

hand after the cut and never release it in the

lower position.

• Never open the pivot guard by hand when work-

ing.

• Only for AS/NZS: The tool shall always be sup-

plied via residual current device with a rated

residual current of 30 mA or less.

Emission levels

Levels determined in accordance with EN 61029

are typically:

Measured acceleration

Sound pressure level

Noise level

Measuring uncertainty allowance

Wear ear protection.

The speciﬁ ed emissions values (vibration, noise)

– are used to compare machines.

– They are also used for making preliminary

estimates regarding vibration and noise loads

during operation.

– They represent the primary applications of the

power tool.

Increase possible for other applications, with oth-

er insertion tools or if not maintained adequately.

Take note of idling and downtimes of machine!
