ENGLISH
Clean gummy or glue-contaminated saw
blades. Contaminated saw blades cause
increased friction, jamming of the saw blade and
increase the risk of back-kicks.
Avoid overheating of the saw tooth tips. Avoid
melting of the material when sawing plastic.
Use a saw blade that is suitable for the material
being sawn.
Reducing dust exposure:
WARNING - Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paints,
- Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
- Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well-
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
This also applies to dust from other materials such
as some timber types (like oak or beech dust),
metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g.
allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let
dust enter the body.
Observe the relevant guidelines and national
regulations for your material, staff, application and
place of application (e.g. occupational health and
safety regulations, disposal).
Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work. In this
way, fewer particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream towards yourself or nearby
persons or towards dust deposits,
- use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers,
- ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep
it clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash protective clothing. Do not blow,
beat or brush protective gear.

6. Initial Operation, Setting

Before commissioning, check that the rated
mains voltage and mains frequency stated on
the type plate match your power supply.
Always install an RCD with a maximum trip
current of 30 mA upstream.
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments or servicing are performed.
6.1
Setting riving knife
The riving knife (21) prevents the wood from closing
behind the saw blade and jamming it while the
machine is in operation. This could otherwise lead
to recoiling.
The riving knife must be set in such a way that
the distance between its inner curve and the
toothed ring on the saw blade is no greater than 5
mm. Set the riving knife so that the lowest point of
the saw blade does not protrude by more than 5 mm
below the bottom edge of the riving knife. See
illustration on page 3.
To adjust, loosen the hex screws (22), set the right
distances to the saw disc and tighten the hex screw
(22) again.
6.2
Setting cutting depth
Loosen the locking screw (19). Raise or lower the
motor section against the guide plate (16). Read the
depth of cut that has been set from the scale (20).
Tighten the locking screw (19) again.
It is advisable to set the depth of cut in such a way
that no more than half of each tooth on the saw
blade juts out under the workpiece. See illustration
on page 2.
