not properly secured.
•
Never use the machine to saw pieces of work
that are so small that they cannot be secured
safely.
•
When sawing profile sections the work must
be carried out such that the piece of work
cannot slide away and the saw blade cannot
become jammed. A profiled piece of work
must lie flat or be held in place by an
attachment so that toppling or sliding during
the work is prevented.
•
Round pieces of work such as tubes must be
well secured, otherwise these can revolve and
the danger exists that the saw blade catches
in them. Always keep the piece of work on the
table and against the stop using a suitable
accessory or attachment.
•
Make sure that the piece of work does not
have any nails or other foreign objects in it.
User safety
•
Make sure you have a clean and tidy working
environment.
•
Make sure the working environment is well lit.
•
The user of the machine must be instructed in
the use, adjustment and operation of the
machine.
•
Use a dust mask or dust hood to prevent the
inhalation of (harmful) dust.
•
Wear gloves when you exchange the saw
blade or when rough material is to be sawn. It
is best to keep saw blades in a separate
holder to prevent anyone getting hurt.
•
When the machine is equipped with a laser,
this may not be replaced by a different type of
laser. Repairs may only be carried out by the
laser manufacturer or a recognised specialist.
•
The operator should wear ear protectors to
reduce any damage to hearing.
•
To prevent accidents occurring by the
accidental switching on of the machine, the
plug must always be pulled out of the socket
before adjustment of the stop or the saw head
is carried out, when changing blades or
accessories, and when maintaining the
machine.
•
To prevent electric shocks, when plugging the
plug into the socket the metal pins must not
be touched in any way whatsoever.
•
Never use the cord to pull the plug out of the
socket. Keep the cord away from oil, heat and
sharp objects.
•
Never apply a cleaning or lubrication agent to
6
a saw blade that is still revolving.
•
To prevent fires, never use the machine in the
vicinity of flammable liquids, vapours or
gases.
•
Always use original accessories: others may
cause wounding.
•
Always choose the right saw blade in relation
to the material to be sawn.
•
Ensure that during operation, the swinging
guard functions properly. It must move freely
and be able to close by itself. It should never
be jammed in the open position.
•
Do not work with material containing
asbestos.
•
Protect the saw blade from strikes and
shocks. Do not apply side pressure to the saw
blade.
Additional safety instructions
1. When using the saw blades with hard metal
teeth (Carbon tipped) it is advisable to use
blades with a negative or slightly positive
cutting angle. Do not use any saw blades with
deeply cut teeth. They can grip the protective
cap.
2. Attention: First carefully assemble all the parts
before starting work. Follow the procedure as
indicated.
3. If you are not familiar with using such a
machine, you would be better to be informed
first by a professional, an instructor or by a
technician.
4. Always clamp or press the workpiece firmly
against the saw guide, before you carry out
the process. The use of all possible clamping
set-ups is preferable to using your hands.
5. Important: If you are holding the workpiece by
hand for the process to be carried out, keep
a minimum distance of 100 mm from the saw
blade.
6. Always press the workpiece against the bench.
7. Keep the saw blade sharp and check
regularly whether it rotates freely without
abnormal vibrations. Replace the saw blade if
necessary.
8. Allow the machine to rotate freely until it
reaches the maximum number of revolutions,
before you start the process.
9. Maintain the air inlets at the back and the
bottom of the bench saw machine and electric
engine for a longer machine life. Dust piles
must be removed.
10. Always lock the different degree set-ups
