- Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
- Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well-
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
This also applies to dust from other materials such
as some timber types (like oak or beech dust),
metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g.
allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let
dust enter the body.
Observe the relevant guidelines and national
regulations for your material, staff, application and
place of application (e.g. occupational health and
safety regulations, disposal).
Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work. In this
way, fewer particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream towards yourself or nearby
persons or towards dust deposits,
- use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers,
- ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep
it clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash protective clothing. Do not blow,
beat or brush protective gear.

6. Initial Operation, Setting

Before commissioning, check that the rated
mains voltage and mains frequency stated on
the type plate match your power supply.
Always install an RCD with a maximum trip
current of 30 mA upstream.
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments or servicing are performed.
Power switch
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position.
If the plug is connected to a receptacle while the
power switch is in the ON position, the power tool
will start operating immediately, which could cause
a serious accident.
Extension cord
When the work area is seperated from the power
source, use an extension cord of sufficient
thickness and rated capacity. The extension cord
should be kept as short as practicable.
Prepare a wooden workbench
Since the saw blade will extend beyond the lower
surface of the lumber, place the lumber on a
workbench when cutting. If a square block is utilized
as a workbench, select level ground to ensure it is
properly stabilized. An unstable workbench will
result in hazardous operation.
To avoid possible accident, always ensure
that the portion of lumber remaining after
cutting is securely anchored oreld in position.
The hexagon wrench (9) used for attaching and
detaching the saw blade (11) can be stored in the
handle (24) (Fig. G).
6.1 Setting cutting depth
The cutting depth can be adjusted by moving the
base after loosening its lever (A) (8) (Fig. B).
Should this lever (A) (8) remain loosened, it
will create a very hazardoustion. Always
thoroughly clamp it.
6.2 Adjusting the angle of inclination
By loosening the wing bolt (14) at the front scale
(15), the saw blade (11) can be titled up to
maximum angle of 45° against the base (Fig. C).
It is very hazardous to allow the wing bolt (16)
to remain loosened. Always thoroughly clamp
it.
6.3 Regulating the guide
The cutting position can be regulated by moving the
base (7) after loosening its wing bolt (16) (Fig. C).
The base can be mounted on either the left or the
right side.
It is advisable to set the depth of cut in such a way
that no more than half of each tooth on the saw
