m WARNING
This electric tool generates an electromagnetic field
during operation. This field can impair active or pas-
sive medical implants under certain conditions. In or-
der 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 electric tool.
Safety instructions for table saws
Guarding related warnings
a) Keep guards in place. Guards must be in work-
ing order and be properly mounted.
A guard that is loose, damaged, or is not function-
ing correctly must be repaired or replaced.
b) Always use saw blade guard, riving knife and
for every through–cutting operation.
For through-cutting operations where the saw
blade cuts completely through the thickness of
the workpiece, the guard and other safety devices
help reduce the risk of injury.
c) After completing working procedures where
the removal of the protective cover and/or riv-
ing knife is necessary (e.g. producing folds
and rebating, cutting grooves or cutting with
a turnover), the protective system must be im-
mediately reattached.
The guard helps to reduce the risk of injury.
d) 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.
e) Adjust the riving knife as described in this in-
struction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning
and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective
in reducing the likelihood of kickback.
f) For the riving knife to work, they must be en-
gaged in the workpiece. The riving knife are
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.
g) 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.
Safety information for sawing
a) m DANGER: Do not place your hands and fin-
gers in the sawing area or close to the saw blade.
A moment of carelessness or a slip could steer
your hand towards the saw blade and result in se-
rious injuries.
b) Only guide the workpiece against the rotation-
al direction of the saw blade or cutting tool.
Guiding the workpiece in the same direction as the
rotational direction of the saw blade above the ta-
ble can lead to the workpiece and your hand being
drawn into the saw blade.
c) When performing longitudinal cuts, never use
the mitre stop to guide the workpiece, and
when transverse cutting with the mitre stop
never additionally use the parallel stop for lon-
gitudinal adjustment. Simultaneously guiding
the workpiece with the parallel stop and mitre stop
increases the probability that the saw blade will
jam and kickback will result.
d) When performing longitudinal cuts, always
apply the feed force to the workpiece between
the stop rail and the saw blade. Use a push rod
if the distance between the stop rail and saw
blade is less than 150 mm, and a push block if
the distance is less than 50 mm.
This type of working aid ensures that your hands
remain a safe distance from the saw blade.
e) Only use the push rod provided by the manu-
facturer, or a push rod that has been produced
in accordance with instructions.
The push rod ensures a sufficient distance be-
tween the hand and saw blade.
f) Never use a damaged or partially sawn push rod.
A damaged push rod may break and lead to your
hand running into the saw blade.
g) Never work "freehand". Always use the paral-
lel stop or the mitre stop to position and guide
the workpiece. "Freehand" means supporting
or guiding the workpiece with the hands, rath-
er than using the parallel stop or mitre stop.
Free-handed sawing leads to incorrect alignment,
jamming and kickback.
h) Never reach around or over a turning saw blade.
Reaching for a workpiece can lead to accidental
contact with the rotating saw blade.
i) Support long and/or wide workpieces at the
rear and/or side of the saw table, so that they
remain horizontal.
Long and/or wide workpieces tend to tilt at the
edge of the saw table; this leads to a loss of con-
trol, jamming of the saw blade and kickback.
j) Guide the workpiece steadily and evenly. Do
not bend or twist the workpiece. If the saw
blade jams, switch off the electric tool imme-
diately, unplug the mains plug and remedy the
cause of the jam.
If the saw blade is jammed by the workpiece, this
can lead to kickback or block the motor.
