– Connect the machine to a suitable dust extractor.
– Regularly remove dust deposits from the motor
housing.
– Use an aluminium saw blade.
– Close the viewing window/chipguard.
Wear protective goggles.
– When sawing panels, they must be lubricated
with paraffin but thin-walled profiles (up to 3
mm) can be sawed without lubrication.

Uncertainty
The specified emission values (vibration, noise)
– are used to compare machines.
– They are also used for making preliminary esti-
mates regarding vibration and noise loads during
operation.
– They represent the primary applications of the
power tool.
Increase possible for other applications, with other
insertion tools or if not maintained adequately. Take
note of idling and downtimes of machine!
