1. Intended purpose
This table circular saw is intended for ripping and
crosscutting grown timber, faced boards, chip
board and wood-core plywood sheets, and similar
materials.
Metals can only be cut with the following
restrictions:
- With suitable saw blade only
(see chapter 12. Accessories")
- Only non-ferrous metals
(no hard metal or hardened metal, no
magnesium)
Do not cut round stock without suitable jigs or
fixtures. The rotating saw blade could turn the
workpiece.
When sawing thin stock laid on its edge, a
suitable guide must be used for firm support.
The tool must not be used for seaming and
grooving.
The tool must not be used for slitting (groove
ended in workpiece).
The tool must not be used for plunge cuts.
Any other use is considered to be not as specified
and not allowed. The manufacturer assumes no
liability for damage caused by unspecified use.
Modification of the machine or use of parts not
approved by the equipment manufacturer can
cause unforeseeable damage.
2. General safety instructions
For your own protection and for the
protection of your electrical tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING - Reading the operating
instructions will reduce the risk of injury.
Pass on your electrical tool only together
with these documents.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING - Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference! The term "power tool" in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
2.1
Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Untidy or
poorly lit workplaces can cause accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.

2.2
Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed or grounded
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current circuit
breaker (RCCB). Use of a residual current circuit
breaker reduces the risk of electric shock.
2.3
Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust extraction can reduce dust-
related hazards.
h) Don't lull yourself into a false sense of
security and ignore the safety regulations for
power tools, even if you are familiar with the
power tool after frequent use. Failure to
observe the following warnings can result in
serious injury or damage to property.
2.4
Use and handling the power tool
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) When not in use, store the power tools out
of the reach of children Do not allow
personnel to use the device unless they are
already familiar with it or have read these
instructions. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories
carefully. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power
tool's operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories, tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions.
Take into consideration the working
conditions and tasks required. Use of the power
tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep the handles and handle surfaces dry,
clean and free of oil and grease. Slippery
handles and handle surfaces do not permit safe
handling and control of the power tool in
unforeseen situations.
2.5
Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified technician using only original
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
2.6
Additional Safety Instructions

3. Special safety instructions
3.1
Safety instructions related to guards
a) Leave the guards in place. Guards have to
be in functional condition and mounted
properly. Loose, damaged or not properly
functioning guards have to be repaired or
replaced.
b) Always use the guard and the splitting
wedge for cuts. For cuts where the saw blade
cuts completely through the thickness of the
workpiece, the guard and other safety devices
reduce the risk of injuries.
c) After finishing your work (e.g. seaming)
where the guard and splitting wedge have to
be removed, immediately reattach the
protective system. The guard and the splitting
wedge reduce the risk of injury.
d) Before switching on the power tool, make
sure that the saw blade is not in contact with
the guard, the splitting wedge or the
workpiece. Inadvertent contact of these
components with the saw blade could cause a
hazardous condition.
