12 Secure the workpiece
– Use the clamping devices or a vice to hold the
workpiece in place. In this manner, it is held
more securely than with your hand.
– An additional support is necessary for long
workpieces (table, trestle, etc.) in order to pre-
vent the machine from tipping over.
– Always press the workpiece firmly against the
working plate and stop in order to prevent boun-
cing and twisting of the workpiece.
13 Avoid abnormal posture
– Make sure that you have secure footing and
always maintain your balance.
– Avoid awkward hand positions in which a sud-
den slip could cause one or both hands to come
into contact with the saw blade.
14 Take care of your tools
– Keep cutting tools sharp and clean in order to
be able to work better and more safely.
– Follow the instructions for lubrication and for
tool replacement.
– Check the connection cable of the electric tool
regularly and have it replaced by a recognised
specialist when damaged.
– Check extension cables regularly and replace
them when damaged.
– Keep the handle dry, clean and free of oil and
grease.
15 Pull the plug out of the outlet
– Never remove loose splinters, chips or jammed
wood pieces from the running saw blade.
– During non-use of the electric tool or prior to
maintenance and when replacing tools such as
saw blades, bits, milling heads.
16 Do not leave a tool key inserted
– Before switching on, make sure that keys and
adjusting tools are removed.
17 Avoid inadvertent starting
– Make sure that the switch is switched off when
plugging the plug into an outlet.
18 Use extension cables for outdoors
– Only use approved and appropriately identified
extension cables for use outdoors.
– Only use cable reels in the unrolled state.
19 Remain attentive
– Pay attention to what you are doing. Remain
sensible when working. Do not use the electric
tool when you are distracted.
20 Check the electric tool for potential damage
– Protective devices and other parts must be ca-
refully inspected to ensure that they are fault-
free and function as intended prior to continued
use of the electric tool.
– Check whether the moving parts function fault-
lessly and do not jam or whether parts are da-
maged. All parts must be correctly mounted
and all conditions must be fulfilled to ensure
fault-free operation of the electric tool.
– The moving protective hood may not be fixed
in the open position.

GB
– Damaged protective devices and parts must be
properly repaired or replaced by a recognised
workshop, insofar as nothing different is spe-
cified in the operating manual.
– Damaged switches must be replaced at a cus-
tomer service workshop.
– Do not use any faulty or damaged connection
cables.
– Do not use any electric tool on which the switch
cannot be switched on and off.
21 ATTENTION!
– Exercise elevated caution for double mitre cuts.
22 ATTENTION!
– The use of other insertion tools and other ac-
cessories can entail a risk of injury.
23 Have your electric tool repaired by a qualified
electrician
– This electric tool conforms to the applicable
safety regulations. Repairs may only be per-
formed by an electrician using original spare
parts. Otherwise accidents can occur.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Safety precautions
• Warning! Do not use damaged or deformed saw
blades.
• Replace a worn table insert.
• Only use saw blades recommended by the manu-
facturer which conform to EN 847-1.
• Make sure that a suitable saw blade for the mate-
rial to be cut is selected.
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment. This
includes:
– Hearing protection to avoid the risk of becoming
hearing impaired,
– Respiratory protection to avoid the risk of inha-
ling harmful dust,
– Wear gloves when handling saw blades and
rough materials. Carry saw blades in a contai-
ner whenever practical.
– Wear goggles. Sparks generated during work or
splinters, chippings and dust coming from the
device can lead to loss of eyesight.
• Connect a dust collecting device to the electric tool
when sawing wood. The emission of dust is influ-
enced, among other things, by the type of material
to be processed, the significance of local separa-
tion (collection or source) and the correct setting
of the hood/guide plates/guides.
• Do not use saw blades made of high-speed alloy
steel (HSS steel).
2. Maintenance and repair
• Pull out the mains plug for any adjustment or re-
pair tasks.
• The generation of noise is influenced by various
factors, including the characteristics of saw bla-
des, condition of saw blade and electric tool. Use
saw blades which were designed for reduced noi-
se development, insofar as possible. Maintain the
