3. Safe operation
•
Select a suitable blade for the material you
wish to saw.
•
Never use the drag, crosscut and miter saw to
cut any materials other than those specified
by the manufacturer.
•
Use only the transport devices to move the
equipment. Never use the guards for handling
or moving the equipment.
•
Use the saw only if the guards are correctly
positioned and only if the saw is in perfect
condition and has been properly serviced.
•
When cutting miters, make sure that the
device for swiveling the arm is fastened se-
curely.
•
The floor around the machine must be level,
clean and free of loose particles, such as
chips and cutting residues.

Make sure the workplace and the room are
sufficiently illuminated.

•
Be sure to use only spacers and spindle rings
which are specified by the manufacturer as
suitable for the intended purpose.

If the machine is equipped with a laser, this
laser may not be replaced by a different type
of laser. Repairs may only be carried out by
the manufacturer of the laser or one of his
authorized service agents.
•
Do not remove any cutting residues or other
parts of workpieces from the cutting zone
while the machine is running and not before
the saw unit is at rest.
•
Make sure that the machine is always secu-
red on a workbench or a table. Use the holes
in the machine's base frame to secure the
machine. Bolt the base frame to a workbench
or a table.
•
Support long workpieces (e.g. with a roller
table) to prevent them sagging at the end of
a cut.
•
To make cuts correctly and safely:
- Always clamp the workpiece securely to the
saw table
- Each time before making a cut, make sure
that the machine stands securely
