blades or saw blades with cracked or bro­
ken teeth. Sharp and properly set saw
blades minimise binding, stalling and kick­
back.
4) Table saw operating procedure warnings
– Turn off the table saw and disconnect the
power cord when removing the table in­
sert, changing the saw blade or making
adjustments to the riving knife or saw
blade guard, and when the machine is left
unattended. Precautionary measures will
avoid accidents.
– Never leave the table saw running unat­
tended. Turn it off and don't leave the tool
until it comes to a complete stop. An unat­
tended running saw is an uncontrolled haz­
ard.
– Locate the table saw in a well-lit and level
area where you can maintain good footing
and balance. It should be installed in an
area that provides enough room to easily
handle the size of your workpiece. Cram­
ped, dark areas, and uneven slippery floors
invite accidents.
– Frequently clean and remove sawdust
from under the saw table and/or the dust
collection device. Accumulated sawdust is
combustible and may self-ignite.
The table saw must be secured. A table
–
saw that is not properly secured may move
or tip over.
– Remove tools, wood scraps, etc. from the
table before the table saw is turned on.
Distraction or a potential jam can be dan­
gerous.
– Always use saw blades with correct size
and shape (diamond versus round) of ar­
bour holes. Saw blades that do not match
the mounting hardware of the saw will run
off-centre, causing loss of control.
Never use damaged or incorrect saw
–
blade mounting means such as flanges,
saw blade washers, bolts or nuts. These
mounting means were specially designed
for your saw, for safe operation and opti­
mum performance.
Never stand on the table saw, do not use it
–
as a stepping stool. Serious injury could
occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting
tool is accidentally contacted.
– Make sure that the saw blade is installed
to rotate in the proper direction. Do not
use grinding wheels, wire brushes, or
abrasive wheels on a table saw. Improper
saw blade installation or use of accessories

not recommended may cause serious in­
jury.
2.3 Further safety instructions
–
Wear suitable personal protective equip­
ment: Ear protection, protective goggles,
dust mask for work that generates dust
and protective gloves for changing tools.
– Faults on the power tool, including the sep­
arating guards or the tool, must be repor­
ted to maintenance staff immediately. The
machine must not be used until the fault
has been eliminated.
– Check the plug and cable on a regular ba­
sis and, if they are damaged, have them re­
placed by an authorised customer service
workshop.
– Use of your own aids e.g. rulers, etc. is not
permitted.
Only for AS/NZS: The tool shall always be
–
supplied via residual current device with a
rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
2.4 Safety instructions for the pre-
assembled saw blade
Usage
– The maximum speed specified on the saw
blade must not be exceeded and the speed
range must be adhered to.
– Pre-assembled saw blade intended exclu­
sively for use in circular saws.
– Proceed with extreme care when unpack­
ing, packing and handling the tool (e.g. in­
stalling it in the machine). There is a risk of
injury from extremely sharp cutting edges!
– When handling the tool, wearing safety
gloves provides a more secure hold of the
tool and further reduces the risk of injury.
– Circular saw blades with cracked bodies
must be replaced. Repair is not permitted.
– Circular saw blades with a combination de­
sign (soldered saw teeth) with saw tooth
thickness smaller than 1 mm must no lon­
ger be used.
– Do not use tools with visible cracks or blunt
or damaged cutting edges.
Installation and mounting
– Tools must be clamped in such a way that
they cannot come loose during operation.
– When assembling the tools, it must be en­
sured that the clamping takes place on the
tool hub or the clamping surface of the
