– Avoid awkward hand positions in which a sud-
den slip could cause one or both hands to come
into contact with the saw blade.
13 Take care of your tools
– Keep cutting tools sharp and clean in order to
be able to work better and more safely.
– Follow the instructions for lubrication and for
tool replacement.
– Check the connection cable of the electric tool
regularly and have it replaced by a recognised
specialist when damaged.
– Check extension cables regularly and replace
them when damaged.
– Keep the handle dry, clean and free of oil and
grease.
14 Pull the plug out of the outlet
– Never remove loose splinters, chips or jammed
wood pieces from the running saw blade.
– During non-use of the electric tool or prior to
maintenance and when replacing tools such as
saw blades, bits, milling heads.
– When the saw blade is blocked due to abnormal
feed force during cutting, turn the machine off
and disconnect it from power supply. Remove
the work piece and ensure that the saw blade
runs free. Turn the machine on and start new
cutting operation with reduced feed force.
15 Do not leave a tool key inserted
– Before switching on, make sure that keys and
adjusting tools are removed.
16 Avoid inadvertent starting
– Make sure that the switch is switched off when
plugging the plug into an outlet.
17 Use extension cables for outdoors
– Only use approved and appropriately identified
extension cables for use outdoors.
– Only use cable reels in the unrolled state.
18 Remain attentive
– Pay attention to what you are doing. Remain
sensible when working. Do not use the electric
tool when you are distracted.
19 Check the electric tool for potential damage
– Protective devices and other parts must be
carefully inspected to ensure that they are fault-
free and function as intended prior to continued
use of the electric tool.
– Check whether the moving parts function fault-
lessly and do not jam or whether parts are dam-
aged. All parts must be correctly mounted and
all conditions must be fulfilled to ensure fault-
free operation of the electric tool.
– The moving protective hood may not be fixed
in the open position.
– Damaged protective devices and parts must be
properly repaired or replaced by a recognised
workshop, insofar as nothing different is speci-
fied in the operating manual.
– Damaged switches must be replaced at a cus-
tomer service workshop.
– Do not use any faulty or damaged connection
cables.
– Do not use any electric tool on which the switch
cannot be switched on and off.
20 Attention!
– The use of other insertion tools and other ac-
cessories can entail a risk of injury.

maintenance work on the blade!
• When cutting round or irregularly shaped wood, use
a device to stop the workpiece from twisting.
• When cutting boards in upright position, use a de-
vice to prevent kick-back.
• A dust extraction system designed for an air velocity
of 20 m/s should be connected in order to comply
with woodworking dust emission values and to en-
sure reliable operation.
• Give these safety regulations to all persons who
work on the machine.
• Do not use this saw to cut fire wood.
• The machine is equipped with a safety switch to
prevent it being switched on again accidentally af-
ter a power failure.
• Before you use the machine for the first time, check
that the voltage marked on the rating plate is the
same as your mains voltage.
