with the saw.
• Never use the saw to cut firewood.
• The machine is equipped with a safety switch
against reactivation if the voltage drops.
• If an extension cable is required, make sure that its
cross-section is sufficient for the current consump-
tion of the saw. Minimum cross-section 1.5 mm
• Only use the cable drum when unrolled.
• Personnel working on the machine must not be dis-
tracted.
• Under no circumstances should the saw blades be

• Do not use saw blades that do not correspond to the
characteristics specified in these usage instructions.
• Ensure that all devices that cover the saw blade
work properly.

a standstill.
• Always press the workpiece firmly against the work-
ing plate.
• Never remove loose splinters, chips or jammed
wood pieces from the running saw blade.
• Switch off the machine to rectify any faults on the
blocked tool attachment. Pull out the mains plug.
Remove the blockage. Attention! Danger of injury
due to saw blade! Wear protective gloves! Perform
a test run without a workpiece. Make sure that no
unusual noises or vibrations occur. If this is the case,
switch the device off and contact the manufacturer.
• Only carry out modifications, adjustment, measuring
and cleaning work when the engine is switched off.
Pull out the mains plug.

ing tools are removed.

• Workpieces that are smaller than the saw blade
guard can cause injuries to the hands and fingers.
Use a suitable aid!
• Avoid cramped hand positions when guiding the
workpiece and positions in which the hand would
slip directly into the saw blade.
• Always insert the saw blade so that the teeth point
down towards the saw table.
• Always set the correct blade tension in order to
avoid breaking the saw blades.
• Use extra care when cutting material with irregular
cutting profiles.
• When withdrawing the workpiece, teeth can get
caught in the kerf, especially if the shavings block
the kerf. In this case you should switch off the saw,
pull out the mains plug, open the kerf with a wedge
and remove the workpiece.
• Never leave the work station without setting down
the saw beforehand. Wait until the saw has come
to a standstill.
• Do not place, glue, or assemble any parts on the
work table while the saw is running.
• Do not switch on the saw until the work table is
cleared of material residues and tools. Only leave
the workpiece to be machined and any work aids
(wedges) on the workbench.
• Always wear eye protection.
• Keep fingers at a safe distance from the saw blade.
• Guide the workpiece securely and firmly and do not
let it loose at any point.
• Never leave the work station without setting down
the saw beforehand.
• Do not let your familiarity with the saw lead you to
carelessness. Carelessness can lead to serious in-
juries in a split second.
Keep these safety instructions in a safe place.
