Dust/Chip Extraction

Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and
metal can be harmful to one's health. Touch-
ing or breathing-in the dusts can cause aller-
gic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infec-
tions of the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are
considered as carcinogenic, especially in
connection with wood-treatment additives
(chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by
specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the work-
ing place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-
class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your
country for the materials to be worked.
Splinter Guard (see figure C)
The splinter guard 13 (accessory) can prevent
fraying of the surface while sawing wood. The
splinter guard can only be used for certain saw
blade types and only for cutting angles of 0°.
When sawing with the splinter guard, the base
plate 5 must not be moved back for cuts that are
close to the edge.
Press the splinter guard 13 from the bottom into
the base plate 5.
When using the sliding shoe 14, the splinter
guard 13 is not inserted into the base plate 5,
but into the sliding shoe.
Sliding Shoe
When working surfaces that are easily scratched,
the sliding shoe 14 can be attached onto the
base plate 5 in order to prevent the surface from
being scratched.
To attach the sliding shoe 14, insert it at the
front of the base plate 5, push the rear part up-
ward and allow it to latch.
