Before each use of the saw
Check the machine. If any part of the machine is
missing, bent or in any other way unusable, or
when an electrical defect occurs, turn the machine
off and take the plug out of the socket. Replace all
missing, damaged or defective parts before using
the machine again.
To fix the saw blade in the slot and to prevent the
piece of work from moving, follow the instructions
below.
•
Choose a suitable saw blade for the work.
Use the crosscut saw only for sawing wood
and wood derivatives or light metal such as
aluminium. Other materials can jump away or
get caught in the saw blade or give rise to
other dangers.
•
The arrow marked on the saw blade, which
indicates the direction of rotation, must point
in the same direction as the arrow marked on
the machine. The saw blade teeth must point
downwards on the front of the saw.
•
Check that the saw blade is sharp,
undamaged and correctly aligned. After
unplugging the machine, push the saw hood
downwards. Rotate the saw blade by hand
and check that it revolves freely. Put the
machine in the 45° position and check free
rotation again. If the blade touches anything it
must be adjusted.
•
Keep the saw blade and the clamping surface
for the clamps clean.
•
The saw blade flange must always be
mounted with the notch tightened towards the
saw blade.
•
Check that all tensioning devices and locks
are secure and that no part has too much play
in it.
•
Never just use your hands for sawing.
•
Always press the piece of work firmly against
the stop, so that it cannot tilt or turn while
sawing. No impurities must gather underneath
the piece of work being sawn.
•
Make sure that the piece of work cannot move
after being sawn, for example because it is
not completely supported by the surface of
the machine.
•
For sawing pieces of work that are not
supported by the full surface, use some
padding or another machine.
•
Replace any worn-out table inserts.
•
Only use saw blades recommended by the
manufacturer (EN-847-1).
•
Never use HS (High Speed) saw blades.
•
Check that the sawn off bits can be removed
sideways from the saw blade, otherwise they
can get caught on the blade and flung about.
•
Never saw more than one piece of work at the
same time.
•
Be extremely careful when sawing large, very
small or awkward pieces of work.
•
Be careful when sawing double mitre joints.
•
Use additional supports (tables, sheer-legs
and the like) for long pieces of work that can
tip over and topple off the machine if they are
