12.4 General Safety Instructions
To avoid malfunctions, damage and health hazards when working with the machine, the following
points must be observed in addition to the general rules for safe working:
•
Before start-up, check the machine for completeness and function. Only use the machine if the
guards and other non-parting guards required for machining have been fitted, are in good operating
condition and have been properly maintained.
•
Choose a level, vibration-free, non-slip surface for the installation location.
•
Ensure sufficient space around the machine!
•
Ensure sufficient lighting conditions at the workplace to avoid stroboscopic effects.
•
Ensure a clean working environment.
•
Only use perfect saw blades that are free of cracks and other defects (e.g. deformations).
•
Remove tool keys and other adjustment tools before switching on the machine.
•
Keep the area around the machine free of obstacles (e.g. dust, chips, cut parts, etc.).
•
Check the strength of the machine connections before each use.
•
Never leave the running machine unattended. Switch off the machine before leaving the working
area and secure it against unintentional or unauthorised recommissioning.
•
The machine may only be operated, serviced or repaired by persons who are familiar with it and who
have been informed of the hazards arising from this work.

ear protection; gloves only when handling tools).
•
Always work with care and the necessary caution and never use excessive force.
•
Do not overload the machine!
•
Shut down the machine and disconnect it from the power supply before carrying out any
adjustment, conversion, cleaning, maintenance or repair work. Before starting any work on the
machine, wait until all tools or machine parts have come to a complete standstill and secure the
machine against unintentional restarting.
•
Do not work on the machine if it is tired, not concentrated or under the influence of medication,
alcohol or drugs!
