B
Danger! Risk of electric shock!
•
Do not expose machine to rain.
Do not operate machine in damp or
wet environment.
Prevent body contact with earthed
objects such as radiators, pipes,
cooking stoves, refrigerators when
operating this machine.
•
Do not use the power cable for pur-
poses it is not intended for.
A
Risk of personal injury and
crushing by moving parts!
•
Do not operate the machine without
installed guards.
•
Always keep sufficient distance to
the saw blade. Use suitable feeding
aids, if necessary. Keep sufficient
distance to driven
when operating the machine.
•
Wait for the saw blade to come to a
complete stop before removing cut-
offs, scrap, etc. from the work area.
•
Do not attempt to stop the saw
blade by pushing the workpiece
against its side.
•
Ensure the machine is disconnected
from power before servicing.
•
Ensure that when turning ON (e.g.
after servicing) no tools or loose
parts are left on or in the machine.
•
Turn power off if the machine is not
used.
A
Cutting hazard, even with the
cutting tool at standstill!
•
Wear gloves when changing cutting
tools.
•
Store saw blade in such manner that
nobody will get hurt.
A
Risk of kickback (workpiece is
caught by the saw blade and thrown
against the operator):
•
Always work with a properly set riv-
ing knife.
•
Do not jam workpieces.
•
Make sure the saw blade is suitable
for the workpiece material.
•
Cut thin or thin-walled workpieces
only with fine-toothed saw blades.
•
Always use sharp saw blades.
•
If in doubt, check workpiece for
inclusion of foreign matter (e.g. nails
or screws).
•
Cut only stock of dimensions that
allow for safe and secure holding
while cutting.

•
Never cut several workpieces at the
same time – and also no bundles
containing several individual pieces.
Risk of personal injury if individual
pieces are caught by the saw blade
uncontrolled.
•
Remove small cutoffs, scrap, etc.
from the work area – when doing so,
the saw blade must be at a com-
plete standstill.
C
Drawing-in/trapping hazard!
•
Ensure that no parts of the body or
clothing can be caught and drawn in
by rotating components (no neck-
ties, no gloves, no loose-fitting
clothes; contain long hair with hair-
net).
•
Never attempt to cut any workpieces
which contain
− ropes,
− strings,
components
− cords,
− cables or
− wires, or to which any of the
above are attached.
A
Hazard generated by insuffi-
cient personal protection gear!
•
Wear hearing protection.
•
Wear safety glasses.
•
Wear dust mask.
•
Wear suitable work clothes.
•
When working outdoors wearing of
non-slip shoes is recommended.
A
Risk of injury by inhaled wood
dust!
•
Dust of certain timber species (e.g.
beech, oak, ash) can cause cancer
when inhaled. Work only with a suit-
able dust collector attached to the
saw. The dust collector must comply
with the data stated in the Technical
Specifications.
•
Ensure that as little wood dust as
possible will get into the environ-
ment:
− remove wood dust deposit in the
work area (do not blow away!);
− fix any leakages on the dust col-
lector;
− ensure good ventilation.
A
Hazard generated by modifica-
tion of the machine or use of parts
not tested and approved by the manu-
facturer!
•
Assemble machine in strict accord-
ance with these instructions.
•
Use only parts approved by the
manufacturer. This applies espe-
cially for:
− Saw blades
The saw blade's maximum rated
rpm must not be less than the
saw spindle speed. Only saw
blades conforming to EN 847-1
may be used.
− Safety devices (see "Technical
specifications" for stock nos.).
•
Do not change any parts.
A
Hazard generated by machine
defects!
•
Keep machine and accessories in
good repair. Observe the mainte-
nance instructions.
•
Before every use, check machine
for possible damage: before operat-
ing the machine all safety devices,
protective guards, or slightly dam-
aged parts need to be checked for
proper function as specified. Check
to see that all moving parts work
properly and do not jam. All parts
must be correctly installed and meet
all conditions necessary for the
proper operation of the machine.
•
Damaged protection devices or
parts must be repaired or replaced
by a qualified specialist. Have dam-
aged switches replaced by a service
centre. Do not operate machine if
the switch cannot be turned ON or
OFF.
•
Keep handles free of oil and grease.
A
Risk of injury by noise!
•
Wear hearing protection.
•
Make sure the riving knife is not
bent. A bent riving knife will push the
workpiece against the side of the
saw blade, causing noise.
