Machine-specifi c safety instructions
- Only use tools that meet standard EN 847-1.
- Saw blades made of High Speed Steel (HSS
steel) must not be used.
- Only saw blades with the following specifi ca-
tions must be used: saw blade diameter of
190 mm; cutting width of 2.6 mm; toolhold-
er diameter of 20 mm; blade core thickness
of max. 2.0 mm; suitable for speeds of up to
4200 rpm.
- The cutting width of the saw blade must be
larger and the standard blade thickness nar-
rower than the thickness of the spacer wedge
(2.0 mm).
- The tool must be compatible with the working
material.
- Deformed or cracked saw blades and saw
blades with blunt or broken cutting edges
must not be used.
- Transport and store the tools in a suitable re-
ceptacle;
- Only use the machine if all safety devices are
in their correct positions, the machine is in
good condition and has been well maintained.
- Replace a worn or damaged (e.g. bedded in)
tabletop immediately.
- Operating personnel must have received ade-
quate training in the use, set-up and operation
of the machine.
- Faults on the machine, including the separat-
ing guards or the tool, must be reported to
maintenance staff immediately upon discov-
ery. The machine must not be used until the
fault has been eliminated.
-
Wear suitable personal protec-
tive equipment: ear protection
to reduce the risk of hearing
loss, safety goggles, a dust
mask to prevent inhalation of
harmful dust, protective gloves
when working with raw materials and when
changing tools.
- To minimise noise, the tool must be sharpened
and all noise reducing elements (covers etc.)
must be properly adjusted.
- When cutting wood, connect the machine to a
dust extractor corresponding to EN 60335-2-
69, dust category M.
- To minimise the creation of dust, the machine
is to be connected to a suitable dust extractor,
and all the elements for dust collection (ex-
tractor hood etc.) must be properly set.
- Never process material containing asbestos.
- Make sure that there is adequate lighting in
the room or workplace.
- Always assume the correct position before
starting work:
- front at the operating end,
- facing the machine,
- next to the cutting line.
- Use the accompanying workpiece holder to
guide the workpiece accurately past the saw
blade.
- Always use the supplied spacer wedge and
the guard. Ensure that they are set correct-
ly as described in the operating manual. An
incorrectly set spacer wedge and removing
components that are required for safety rea-
sons, such as the guards, can result in serious
injuries.
- Use a suitable device to support long work-
pieces and ensure that they are horizontal.
- Pull the plug from the main power socket be-
fore changing tools and rectifying faults such
as removing trapped splinters.
- Do not remove offcuts or other workpiece
parts from the cutting area while the tool is
still running and until the saw blade stops.
- If the saw blade is blocked, switch the machine
off immediately and disconnect the mains
plug. Do not remove the jammed workpiece
until you have done this.
- Cutting rebates or grooves is only permitted
with a suitable protective device fi tted, e.g. a
protective tunnel over the saw table.
- You must re-install the safety equipment im-
mediately after work that requires the guard
to be removed, see sec. 5.2.
- Do not use circular saws for cutting slots
(grooves in workpiece).
- Before transporting the machine, make sure
that the top protective guard covers the top
section of the saw blade.
- Do not use the top protective cover as a handle
for transportation!
- When not in use, store the push stick in the
holder provided on the machine.
