Device-specific safety information
Safety measures
•
Do not use deformed or cracked saw
blades.
•
Replace a worn table insert.
•
Only use saw blades recommended
by the manufacturer complying with
the requirements of EN 847-1. When
changing the saw blade, ensure that the
width of cut is not less and the saw blade
body is not thicker than the thickness of
the splitting wedge.
•
Only use a saw blade that is suitable for
the material to be cut.
•
If necessary wear suitable personal
protective equipment.
These could include:
- Hearing protectors for reducing the risk
of hearing impairment.
- Respiratory protection for reducing the
risk of inhaling harmful dust.
- Wear gloves when handling saw blades
and rough materials.
Saw blade must always be carried in a
container where practical.
•
When sawing wood, circular saws must be
connected to a sawdust collector.
•
Do not use saw blades of high-alloy high-
speed steel (HSS steel).
•
The push stick must be kept at the
machine when not in use.
Maintenance and service
•
Defects in the machine, including guards
and the saw blade must be reported to the
person responsible for safety immediately
upon their discovery.
Safe operation
•
Use the push stick or handle with sliding
block to guide the workpiece safely along
the saw blade.
•
Use the splitting wedge and adjust
correctly.
•
Use the upper saw blade guard and adjust
correctly.
•
Do not make rebates or grooves without
using suitable a suitable guard such as a
tunnel guard fitted above the saw table.
•
Circular saws must not be used for slitting
(groove completed in workpiece).
•
Only use saw blades the maximum speed
of which is not slower that the maximum
spindle speed of the circular saw bench.

•
When transporting the machine, only use
the transport devices and never the guards
for handling or transport purposes.
•
The upper part of the saw blade should be
covered, e.g. with guard during transport.
Further important information
•
Always use the guards when making
longitudinal and cross cuts.
•
Always press the workpiece firmly against
the longitudinal or mitre stop.
•
Always use a push stick when rip-cutting
narrow workpieces.
•
Never reach behind or above the saw
blade.
•
Remove the longitudinal stop when making
cross cuts.
•
Never attempt to release a jammed saw
blade without switching off the saw first.
Switch off the saw immediately to prevent
damage to the motor.
•
Never attempt to release workpieces
without switching off the saw first. Do not
reach into the area of the rotating saw
blade.
•
Ensure that the end and sides of the saw
table are sufficiently supported to prevent
wide or long workpieces from tilting.
•
Avoid workpiece rebound by:
- always using a sharp saw blade
- parallel alignment of the parallel stop to
the saw blade
- gripping the workpiece until it has been
pushed fully through the saw blade.
- no ripping of distorted or deformed
workpieces without straight edge that
can be guided along the longitudinal
stop.
•
Avoid changing hands and gripping
positions where hands are liable to slip and
make contact with the saw blade.
•
Only use the saw to cut wood or similar
materials.
Before use, remove the transport protection:
•
Disassemble the bottom plate by loosening
the 4 screws.
•
Remove the transport protection below
motor.
•
The handles for height and mitre setting of
the saw blade are located in the transport
protection inside the machine.
•
Reassemble the bottom plate.
