10 Connect the dust extraction device if you will be
processing wood, materials similar to wood, or
plastics.
If connections for dust extraction and a collect-
–
ing device are present, make sure that they are
connected and used properly.
– When processing wood, materials similar to
wood, and plastics. operation in enclosed spaces
is only permitted with the use of a suitable extrac-
tion system.
11 Secure the workpiece
Use the clamping devices or a vice to hold the
–
workpiece in place. In this manner, it is held more
securely than with your hand.
An additional support is necessary for long work-
–
pieces (table, trestle, etc.) in order to prevent the
machine from tipping over.

–
working plate and stop in order to prevent bounc-
ing and twisting of the workpiece.
12 Avoid abnormal posture
Make sure that you have secure footing and al-
–
ways maintain your balance.
Avoid awkward hand positions in which a sudden
–
slip could cause one or both hands to come into
contact with the saw blade.
13 Take care of your tools
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean in order to be
–
able to work better and more safely.
Follow the instructions for lubrication and for tool
–
replacement.
Check the connection cable of the electric tool
–
regularly and have it replaced by a recognised
specialist when damaged.
Check extension cables regularly and replace
–
them when damaged.
