Working with the saw

Before starting to work consider the following safety

Saw band o.k.?
Parallel stopper ready to use?
Pushing stick ready to hand?
Upper and lower case door closed?
The case doors protect against touching the driven
parts in the inside of the saw.
Workplace tidied?
You may not start to operate the machine until you have
read these operating instructions, observed all the
instructions given and installed the machine as
described!
Before changing or adjusting the saw (i.e. replacing saw
band, inclining saw table, adjusting saw band coping etc.)
− Switch off device
− Wait for stop of the saw band
− Pull out power plug
Also, note the following important points:
Wear protective clothing:
− ear protection
− safety goggles
− protective mask
When sawing do not wear gloves, large clothes or jewels.
Danger of entering!
Take the correct working position. The saw teeth must face
the operator.
Take a position outside the danger zone of the saw band.
Never put into operation the machine when the doors
protecting the saw band are open.
Put the hands plain with closed fingers on the work piece.
Saw only one work piece simultaneously. Never saw
several work pieces or individual items combined as packs
simultaneously. There is the risk that individual items can
be caught uncontrolled by the saw band.
Do not saw work pieces where cords, strings, bands,
cables or wires are fixed. Danger of entering!
Press the work piece when sawing on the saw table.
Pay attention to that the work piece does not cant itself.
Do not slow down the saw band by lateral pressure.
Use a work piece support plate so that when sawing
long work pieces these will not fall from the table after
cutting them through.
Never remove loose splinters, chips, or similar by hand.
At any case pay attention to all security advices.
