Transporting the table saw
Before transporting the bench saw, the following
steps must be carried out:
• Pull the mains plug
• Turn the hand-wheel (9) (Fig. A2) in
anticlockwise direction, lower the blade as

mounted firmly to the power tool
If possible, place unused saw blades in an

The bench saw should always be carried
by two persons in order to avoid back
injuries.

the machine housing with a soft cloth, preferably
after each use. Keep the ventilation slots free from
dust and dirt. If the dirt does not come off use a
soft cloth moistened with soapy water. Never use
solvents such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water,
etc. These solvents may damage the plastic parts.
Lubrication
The machine requires no additional lubrication.
