Safety information

General power tool safety warnings

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1. Work area safety
   1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
   2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
   3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
   1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
   2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
   3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
   4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
   5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
   6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
   1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
   2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
   3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
   4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
   5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
   6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
   7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
   8. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4. Power tool use and care
   1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
   2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
   3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
   4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
   5. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
   6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
   7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
   8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5. Service
   1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety instructions for the product

Guarding related warnings

1. Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working order and be properly mounted. A guard that is loose, damaged, or is not functioning correctly must be repaired or replaced.
2. Always use saw blade guard and riving knife for every through-cutting operation. For separating cuts where the saw blade cuts completely through the thickness of the workpiece, the protective cover and other safety devices help reduce the risk of injury.
3. Immediately reattach the guarding system after completing an operation (such as rabbeting, dadoing or resawing cuts) which requires removal of the saw blade guard and/or riving knife. The guard and riving knife help to reduce the risk of injury.
4. Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the guard, riving knife or the workpiece before the switch is turned on. Inadvertent contact of these items with the saw blade could cause a hazardous condition.
5. Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in reducing the likelihood of kickback.
6. For the riving knife to work, they must be engaged in the workpiece. The riving knife is ineffective when cutting workpieces that are too short to be engaged with the riving knife. Under these conditions a kickback cannot be prevented by the riving knife.
7. Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife. For the riving knife to function properly, the saw blade diameter must match the appropriate riving knife and the body of the saw blade must be thinner than the thickness of the riving knife and the cutting width of the saw blade must be wider than the thickness of the riving knife.

Cutting procedures warnings

1. 
   Never place your fingers or hands in the vicinity of the saw blade or in the sawing area. A moment of inattention or a slip could direct your hand towards the saw blade and result in serious personal injury.
2. Feed the workpiece into the saw blade or cutter only against the direction of rotation. Feeding the workpiece in the same direction that the saw blade is rotating above the table may result in the workpiece, and your hand, being pulled into the saw blade.
3. Never use the mitre gauge to feed the workpiece when ripping and do not use the rip fence as a length stop when cross cutting with the mitre gauge. Guiding the workpiece with the rip fence and the mitre gauge at the same time increases the likelihood of saw blade binding and kickback.
4. When ripping, always apply the workpiece feeding force between the fence and the saw blade. Use a push stick when the distance between the fence and the saw blade is less than 150 mm, and use a push block when this distance is less than 50 mm. "Work helping" devices will keep your hand at a safe distance from the saw blade.
5. Use only the push stick provided by the manufacturer or constructed in accordance with the instructions. This push stick provides sufficient distance of the hand from the saw blade.
6. Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A damaged push stick may break causing your hand to slip into the saw blade.
7. Do not perform any operation "freehand". Always use either the rip fence or the mitre gauge to position and guide the workpiece. "Freehand" means using your hands to support or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence or mitre gauge. Freehand sawing leads to misalignment, binding and kickback.
8. Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade. Reaching for a workpiece may lead to accidental contact with the moving saw blade.
9. Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the rear and/or sides of the saw table for long and/ or wide workpieces to keep them level. A long and/or wide workpiece has a tendency to pivot on the table's edge, causing loss of control, saw blade binding and kickback.
10. Feed workpiece at an even pace. Do not bend or twist the workpiece. If jamming occurs, turn the tool off immediately, unplug the tool then clear the jam. Jamming the saw blade by the workpiece can cause kickback or stall the motor.
11. Do not remove pieces of cut-off material while the saw is running. The material may become trapped between the fence or inside the saw blade guard and the saw blade pulling your fingers into the saw blade. Turn the saw off and wait until the saw blade stops before removing material.
12. Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the table top when ripping workpieces less than 2 mm thick. A thin workpiece may wedge under the rip fence and create a kickback.

Kickback - causes and corresponding
Safety information
Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece due to a pinched, jammed saw blade or misaligned line of cut in the workpiece with respect to the saw blade or when a part of the workpiece binds between the saw blade and the rip fence or other fixed object.
Most frequently during kickback, the workpiece is lifted from the table by the rear portion of the saw blade and is propelled towards the operator. Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions. And can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.

1. Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always position your body on the same side of the saw blade as the fence. Kickback may propel the workpiece at high velocity towards anyone standing in front and in line with the saw blade.
2. Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to pull or to support the workpiece. Accidental contact with the saw blade may occur or kickback may drag your fingers into the saw blade.
3. Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut off against the rotating saw blade. Pressing the workpiece being cut off against the saw blade will create a binding condition and kickback.
4. Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece against the saw blade and create kickback.
5. Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece against the table and fence when making nonthrough cuts such as rabbeting, dadoing or resawing cuts. A featherboard helps to control the workpiece in the event of a kickback.
6. Use extra caution when making a cut into blind areas of assembled workpieces. The protruding saw blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
7. Support large panels to minimise the risk of saw blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Support(s) must be placed under all portions of the panel overhanging the table top.
8. Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece that is twisted, knotted, warped or does not have a straight edge to guide it with a mitre gauge or along the fence. A warped, knotted, or twisted workpiece is unstable and causes misalignment of the kerf with the saw blade, binding and kickback.
9. Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked vertically or horizontally. The saw blade could pick up one or more pieces and cause kickback.
10. When restarting the saw with the saw blade in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged in the material. If the saw blade binds, it may lift up the workpiece and cause kickback when the saw is restarted.
11. Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sufficient set. Never use warped saw blades or saw blades with cracked or broken teeth. Sharp and properly set saw blades minimise binding, stalling and kickback.

Safety instructions for the operation of circular table saws

1. Turn off the table saw and disconnect the power cord when removing the table insert, 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.
2. Never leave the table saw running unattended. Turn it off and don't leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop. An unattended running saw is an uncontrolled hazard.
3. 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. Cramped, dark areas, and uneven slippery floors invite accidents.
4. Frequently clean and remove sawdust from under the saw table and/or the dust collection device. Accumulated sawdust is combustible and may self-ignite.
5. The table saw must be secured. A table saw that is not properly secured may move or tip over.
6. Remove tools, wood scraps, etc. from the table before the table saw is turned on. Distraction or a potential jam can be dangerous.
7. Always use saw blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Saw blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run off-centre, causing loss of control.
8. Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade mounting means such as flanges, saw blade washers, bolts or nuts. This saw blade mounting material has been specially designed for your saw, for safe operation and optimum performance.
9. 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.
10. 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 injury.

Safety instructions for the handling of saw blades

1. Only use insertion tools if you have mastered their use.
2. Observe the maximum speed. The maximum speed specified on the insertion tool may not be exceeded. If specified, observe the speed range.
3. Observe the motor / saw blade direction of rotation.
4. Do not use any insertion tools with cracks. Sort out cracked insertion tools. Repairs are not permitted.
5. Clean dirt, grease, oil and water off of the clamping surfaces.
6. Do not use any loose reducing rings or bushes to reduce holes on circular saw blades.
7. Make sure that fixed reducer rings for securing the insertion tool have the same diameter and have at least 1/3 of the cutting diameter.
8. Make sure that fixed reducer rings are parallel to each other.
9. Handle insertion tools with caution. They are ideally stored in the originally package or special containers. Wear protective gloves in order to improve grip and to further reduce the risk of injury.
10. Prior to the use of insertion tools, make sure that all protective devices are properly fastened.
11. Prior to use, make sure that the insertion tool meets the technical requirements of this electric tool and is properly fastened.
12. Only use the supplied saw blade for cutting wood, never for the processing of metals.
13. Use the correct saw blade for the material to be processed.
14. Use only a saw blade with a diameter that matches the specifications on the saw.
15. Use only saw blades that are marked with an equal or higher rotational speed than that marked on the power tool.
16. Use only saw blades recommended by the manufacturer which conform to EN 847-1, if intended for cutting wood or similar materials.
17. Wear suitable personal protective equipment, such as:
    • Hearing protection;
    • Protective gloves when handling saw blades.
18. Only use saw blades recommended by the manufacturer which conform to EN 847-1.

When changing the saw blade, ensure that the cutting width is not smaller and the width of the saw blade disc is not greater than the thickness of the riving knife!

19. When sawing wood and plastics, avoid the saw teeth overheating. Reduce the feed speed in order to avoid the plastic melting.
20. Please note that complex non-through cutting operations and tapered cuts are not permitted.
21. Avoid bevel ripping on bevelling side of the saw blade.

Residual risks
The electric tool has been built according to stateof-the-art and the recognised technical safety rules. However, individual residual risks can arise during operation.

• Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use of improper electrical connection cables.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been met, some non-obvious residual risks may still remain.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety instructions" and the "Proper use" are observed along with the whole of the operating instructions.
• Do not unnecessary stress the machine: too much pressure when sawing will damage the saw blade quickly. This results in reduced output of the machine in the processing and in cut precision.
• Avoid accidental starting of the machine: the operating button may not be pressed when inserting the plug in an outlet.
• Use the tool that is recommended in this manual. In doing so, your saw provides optimal performance.
• Keep your hands away from the work area, when the machine is in operation.
• Before maintaining or adjusting, switch off the machine and unplug the power plug.

This power tool generates an electromagnetic field during operation. This field can impair active or passive medical implants under certain conditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with medical implants consult with their physician and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operating the power tool.

Working instructions

Working instructions
After every new setting, we recommend performing a test cut, in order to check the dimensional settings.
Wait after the saw has been switched on, until the saw blade has reached full speed, before starting the cutting process.
Secure long workpieces against tipping at the end of the cutting process (e.g. with roller stand, etc.) Be careful when cutting.
Only operate the device with an extraction system. Check and clean the extraction channels at regular intervals.

Performing longitudinal cuts

(Fig. 20)
Here, a workpiece is cut in its longitudinal direction. Hold the edge of the workpiece against the parallel stop (7), whilst the flat side lies on the saw table (1).
The saw blade guard (2) must always be lowered onto the workpiece.
The working position for the longitudinal cut must never be in line with the cutting process.

• Adjust the parallel stop (7) according to the height of the workpiece and the desired width. (see "Working with the parallel stop")
• Switch on the saw.
• Place your hands flat on the workpiece with your fingers closed and slide the workpiece along the parallel stop (7) into the saw blade (5).
• Guide laterally with the left or right hand (depending on the position of the parallel stop) only up to the front edge of the saw blade guard (2).
• Always push the workpiece through to the end of the riving knife (4).
• The cutting waste remains on the saw table (1) until the saw blade (5) has completely stopped.
• Secure long workpieces against tipping at the end of the cutting process! (e.g. roller stand, etc.)

Cutting narrower workpieces, (Fig. 21)
Longitudinal cuts of workpieces with a width of less than 120 mm must always be made with the aid of a push stick (16). Push stick is included in the scope of delivery. Replace a worn or damaged push stick immediately.

• Set the parallel stop to suit the intended workpiece width. (see "Working with the parallel stop")
• Push the workpiece forward with both hands, and be sure to use a push stick (16) as a pushing aid in the area of the saw blade.
• Always push the workpiece through to the end of the riving knife.

Attention! For short workpieces, use the push stick as soon as you start cutting.

Performing cross cuts

(Fig. 22)

• Push the transverse stop (13) into one of the two grooves (30 a/b) of the saw table and set it to the required angle (see "Transverse stop"). If the saw blade (5) is also to be set at an angle, use the groove (30a) that prevents your hand and the transverse stop coming into contact with the saw blade guard.
• Press the workpiece against the transverse stop (13).
• Switch on the saw.
• Push the transverse stop (13) and workpiece towards the saw blade to carry out the cut.
  Attention: Always hold the guided workpiece, never the free workpiece that is being cut.
• Always push the transverse stop (13) until the workpiece has been fully cut through.
• Switch off the saw again. Only remove saw waste when the saw blade has come to a standstill.

Performing angled cuts

(Fig. 23)
Angled cuts are always made using the parallel stop (7).

• Adjust the saw blade (5) to the desired angle. (see "Angle setting")
• Adjust the parallel stop (7) depending on the width and height of the workpiece (see "Working with the parallel stop")
• Carry out the cut according to the width of the workpiece (see "Performing longitudinal cuts")

Cutting of chipboard

To prevent the cutting edges from breaking when cutting chipboard, the saw blade (5) must not be set higher than 5 mm above the thickness of the workpiece (see "Adjusting the cutting depth").

Transport

1. Always switch off the power tool before transport and disconnect it from the power supply.
2. Always carry the electric tool with at least one other person. Use the gripping surfaces on the side of the saw table to do this.
3. Protect the electrical tool from impacts, shocks and severe vibrations, e.g. during vehicular transport.
4. Secure the power tool against toppling and slipping.
5. Never use protective devices for handling or transport.

Transport without machine stand (Fig. 24)
