Do not let others use the machine if they are not
•
familiar with it or have not read these instructions.
Power tools are dangerous when they are being
used by inexperienced people.
Keep your cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully
•
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
jam less and are easier to guide.
If the power tool's connection cable is damaged, it
•
has to be replaced by a specially pre-adjusted con-
nection cable which is available from the customer
service organisation.
Have your machine repaired by qualified specialists
•
and only with original spare parts. This ensures the
safety of the machine.
The position of the machine must be stable.
•
Before commissioning, all covers and safety de-
•
vices must be installed correctly.
The saw blade has to be able to run freely.
•
In the event of timber which has already been used,
•
watch for foreign objects such as nails or screws
etc.
Before turning on the main switch, make sure that
•
the saw blade is mounted correctly and all moving
parts run smoothly.
Additional safety notices for table, chop and mi-
tre saws
Ensure that, in table circular saw mode, the arm is
•
positioned tightly in the work position.
Ensure that, in table circular saw mode, the arm is
•
secured properly for inclined cuts.
Ensure that the table is secured properly when the
•
operating mode of the saw is changed.
1) Safety measures
Do not use damaged or deformed saw blades;
•
Use the saw only when its safety equipment is in
•
position, particularly after changing the sawing
mode, and when the guard is in a good condition
and has been properly maintained.
Replace worn table inserts;
•
Only ever use saw blades which are recommended
•
by the manufacturer and comply with EN 847-1,
alongside a warning sign that the riving knife must
not be wider than the cut kerf width and not thinner
than the saw blade body;
Ensure that the rip fence is secured properly when
•
cutting diagonally;
Do not use saw blades made of high speed steel;
•
Connect the saw to an extraction unit when cutting
•
timber.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
•
This may include:
Hearing protection to reduce the risk of becom-
•
ing hearing impaired;
Breathing protection to reduce the risk of inhaling
•
harmful dust;
Wear gloves when handling saw blades and
•
rough material (saw blades must be transported
in a suitable container whenever feasible);

Ensure that the material to be cut is taken into ac-
•
count when selecting the saw blade.
Always return the push stick to its bracket when it is
•
no longer being used.
2) Maintenance and care
Observe the manufacturer's notices concerning
•
possible noise reduction (e.g. using saw blades
which have been constructed for lower noise pol-
lution, and saw blade and machine maintenance).
Machine faults, including guards or saw blades,
•
must be resolved as soon as they are detected.
3) Working safely
Select a saw blade suitable for the material you are
•
cutting;
Never use the saw for cutting materials other than
•
those recommended by the manufacturer;
The floor surrounding the machine must be level,
•
clean and free from loose material such as wood
chippings and offcuts;
Make sure the room and your work area are well lit;
•
Comply with the instructions for replacing the saw
•
blade.
m WARNING
In the circular saw and mitre saw mode, the safety
•
devices have to be returned to their proper position.
In the table circular saw mode, a push stick or a
•
push block with handle has to be used in order to
prevent the operator getting too close to the saw
blade with his/her hand when working.
The operator must be trained sufficiently in the set-
•
up, use and operation of the machine;
Ensure that the arm of the saw is secured properly
•
when cutting diagonally;
Ensure that the arm of the saw is secured prop-
•
erly in the work position when in table circular saw
mode;
Before leaving the work area, turn off the saw;
•
Ensure that the circular saw table is secured at the
•
selected height;
Only ever use saw blades which have been sharp-
•
ened properly. Do not exceed the maximum rota-
tional speed specified on the saw blade;
Make sure you only use spacers and spindle rings
•
which are suitable for the intended purpose speci-
fied by the manufacturer;
If the machine is equipped with a laser, this laser
•
must not be replaced by a laser of another type.
Repairs must be carried out by the laser manufac-
turer or an authorised representative;
Ensure that the upper part of the saw blade is com-
•
pletely enclosed when in mitre saw mode;
Replacement and alignment of the saw blade have
•
to be carried out properly;
Make sure that the machine, if possible, is secured
•
to a work bench or a table.
