s) Hold the handle firmly when making an incom-
plete cut or when releasing the switch before the
saw head is completely in the down position. The
braking action of the saw may cause the saw head
to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of
injury.
Wood cutting blade Safety
Warnings
Please read the manual and instructions carefully
before using the saw blade and the machine.
The machine must be in good condition, the spindle
without deformation and vibration.
Do not use the saw without the guards in position,
keep guards in good working order and properly
maintained.
Ensure the operator is adequately trained in safety
precautions, adjustment, and operation of the
machine.
Always wear goggles and ear protection when using
the machine. It is recommended to wear gloves,
sturdy non-slip shoes and apron.
Before using any accessory, consult the instruction
manual. The improper use of an accessory can cause
damage and increase the potential for injury.
Use only blades specified in this manual, complying
with EN 847-1.
Observe the maximum speed marked on the saw
blade. Ensure the speed marked on the saw blade is
at least equal to the speed marked on the saw.
Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter
other than recommended. Saw blades that do not
match the mounting hardware of the saw will run
off-centre, causing loss of control. Do not use any
spacers to make the blade fit onto the spindle.
Only use a saw blade with a diameter that corres-
ponds to the information given on the saw.
Check the tips of the saw blade for damage or
abnormal appearance before each use. Tips that are
damaged or loose can become flying objects in use
and increase the chance of personal injury.
Do not use saw blades which are cracked, damaged,
or deformed. Only use saw blades which are sharp.
Scrap the saw blade if damaged, deformed, distorted
or cracked, repairing is not permitted.
Do not use saw blades made of high-speed steel.
Ensure the saw blade is mounted correctly, tighten
the arbor nut securely before use (tightening torque
approx. 12 Nm).
Fastening screw and nuts shall be tightened using
the appropriate spanner, etc.
Extension of the spanner or tightening using ham-
mer blows is not permitted.
Make sure the blade and flanges are clean and the
recessed sides of the collar are against the blade.
Make sure the blade rotates in the correct direction.
Before work, make a dummy cut without the motor
turned on so the position of the blade, operation of
the guards with respect to other machine parts and
workpiece may be checked.
Never leave the machine unattended.
Do not apply lubricants on the blade when it is
running.
Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work
when the machine is still running and the head is not
in the rest position.
Never attempt to stop a machine in motion rapidly
by jamming a tool or other means against the blade,
serious accidents can be caused unintentionally in
this way.
Disconnect the saw from the mains supply or remove
battery pack before changing blades or carrying out
maintenance.
Pay attention to blade packing and unpacking, it is
easy to be injured by the sharp blade tips.
Use a blade holder or wear gloves when handling a
saw blade.
Keep and store the blade in original packaging or
other suitable packaging, keep in dry conditions and
away from chemicals which may damage the blade.
Additional Safety and Working
Instructions
Always clamp the workpiece safely and securely.
Ensure that the machine is always stable and secure
(e.g. fixed to a bench)
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
Always wear goggles when using the machine. It is
recommended to wear gloves for handling blades
and rough material, as well as sturdy non-slip shoes
which also protect the feet from workpieces that
may fall from the cutting area.
Always make sure the power plug has been removed
from the mains power source before making adjust-
ments, lubricating or when doing any maintenance
on the product.
Only plug-in when machine is switched off.
Never reach into the area near the blade, unless the
blade has completely stopped.
Use only woodworking blades specified in this
manual, which comply with EN 847-1.
Before use, thoroughly check the tool for any dama-
ge or material fatigue. Repairs should only be carried
out by authorised Service Agents.
Always use the protective shields on the machine.
Do not use the machine if the guards are not in place
and working correctly.
The lower blade guard should only open when the
blade is lowered to the workpiece and must always
be able to move freely and close automatically..
Always fix and use extension bar holders for workpi-
ece support during operation.
Never alter of modify the saw or its function. Your
safety may be compromised.
