should be thinner than the kerf, but
thicker than the saw blade body.
•
Do not jam workpieces.
•
Make sure the saw blade is suitable
for the workpiece material.
•
Cut thin or thin-walled workpieces
only with fine-toothed saw blades.
•
Always use sharp saw blades.
•
If in doubt, check workpiece for
inclusion of foreign matter (e.g. nails
or screws).
•
Cut only stock of dimensions that
allow for safe and secure holding
while cutting.
•
Never cut several workpieces at the
same time – and also no bundles
containing several individual pieces.
Risk of personal injury if individual
pieces are caught by the saw blade
uncontrolled.
•
Remove small cutoffs, scrap, etc.
from the work area – when doing so
the saw blade must be at a com-
plete standstill.
c
Drawing-in/trapping hazard!
•
Ensure that no parts of the body or
clothing can be caught and drawn in
by rotating components (no neck-
ties, no gloves, no loose-fitting
clothes; contain long hair with hair-
net).
•
Never attempt to cut any workpieces
which contain
− ropes,
− strings,
− cords,
− cables or
− wires, or to which any of the
above are attached.
A
Hazard generated by insuffi-
cient personal protection gear!
•
Wear hearing protection.
•
Wear safety glasses.
•
Wear dust mask.
•
Wear suitable work clothes.
•
When working outdoors wearing of
non-slip shoes is recommended.
A
Risk of injury by inhaled wood
dust!
•
Dust of certain timber species (e.g.
beech, oak, ash) can cause cancer
when inhaled. Work only with a suit-
able dust collector attached to the
saw. The dust collector must comply
with the data stated in the technical
specifications.
•
Ensure that as little as possible
wood dust will get into the environ-
ment:
− remove wood dust deposit in the
work area (do not blow away!);
− fix any leakages on the dust col-
lector;
− ensure good ventilation.
A
Hazard generated by modifica-
tion of the machine or use of parts
not tested and approved by the equip-
ment manufacturer!
•
Assemble tool in strict accordance
with these instructions.
•
Use only parts approved by the
equipment
manufacturer.

•
Do not change any parts.
A
Hazard
generated
defects!
•
Keep tool and accessories in good
repair. Observe the maintenance
instructions.
•
Before every use check tool for pos-
sible damage: before operating the
tool all safety devices, protective
guards or slightly damaged parts
need to be checked for proper func-
tion as specified. Check to see that
all moving parts work properly and
do not jam. All parts must be cor-
rectly installed and meet all condi-
tions necessary for the proper oper-
ation of the tool.
•
Damaged protection devices or
parts must be repaired or replaced
by a qualified specialist. Have dam-
aged switches replaced by a service
centre. Do not operate tool if the
switch cannot be turned ON or OFF.
•
Keep handles free of oil and grease.
A
Risk of injury by noise!
•
Wear hearing protection.
•
Make sure the riving knife is not
bend. A bent riving knife will push
the workpiece against the side of the
saw blade, causing noise.
A
Danger from blocking work-
pieces or workpiece parts!
If blockage occurs:
1.
Switch machine OFF.
2.
Unplug mains cable.
3.
Wear gloves.
4.
Clear the blockage using a suitable
tool.
