E N G L I S H
• Connect the saw to a dust collection device when sawing wood.
Always consider factors which influence exposure of dust such as:
-– type of material to be machined (chip board produces more dust
than wood);
-– sharpness of the saw blade;
-– correct adjustment of the saw blade.
Ensure that the local extraction as well as hoods, baffles and chutes are
properly adjusted.
• Please be aware of the following factors influencing exposure
to noise:
-– use saw blades designed to reduce the emitted noise;
-– use only well sharpened saw blades;
• Machine maintenance shall be conducted periodically;
• Machine faults, including guards or saw blade, shall be reported as
soon as they are discovered;
• Provide adequate general or localized lighting;
• Ensure the operator is adequately trained in the use, adjustment and
operation of the machine;
• When fitted with laser, DO NOT change to a different type of laser.
Repairs shall only be carried out by the laser manufacturer or an
authorized agent.

- Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the rotating saw blade.
- Risk of injury when changing the blade.
- Risk of squeezing fi ngers when opening the guards.
