Risk associated with the inadvertent start of the machine
•
Disconnect the power plug before opening the machine.
•
Disconnect the power plug if no-one is using the machine.
Risk associated with environmental factors
•
Do not place the machine in the rain or in a damp environment.
•
Make sure you have sufficient lighting. Do not use the machine near flammable gas or liquids.
Risks incurred by people in the work area
The machine must only be used by one person at a time. Keep people who are not involved in the work, especially children,
outside the work area.
Risk associated with machine failure
Before each start-up, check that the machine, safety device and accessories are not damaged in any way. Do not use the
machine if one of the parts is faulty. Immediately replace any defective safety device, cracked or deformed sawblade,
or damaged chip guard.
Risk associated with machine instability
If you have long workpieces to cut, use adequate supports for these workpieces on both sides of the machine. Do not lean
on the machine.
Make sure that the machine is stable.
Risk associated with foreign matter in the machine
Before each start-up, make sure that there is no object (a tool for example) in the machine.
Risk associated with the opening under the table
For the proper operation of the machine, the sawblade cannot completely be covered under the table. For this
reason, you must never put your hands under the table when the machine is operating. You could cut yourself!
Risk associated with inadequate working position or dress
Adopt a good working position. Make sure that no part of your body or clothing can get caught and pulled by the machine.
Risk associated with sawdust
The sawdust of certain woods (like oak and ash) can cause cancer when inhaled. Always work with an extraction device.
This device must meet the following criteria:
•
Suited to the external diameter of the extraction outlet
•
Air volume > 550 m
•
Suction in the saw extraction outlet > 740 Pa
•
Air speed in the saw extraction outlet > 20 m/s
Risk associated with protection system failure
When you work, remember to wear:
•
A dust mask
•
Ear protection
•
Protective eyewear

SAFETY DEVICE
Upper slide (Fig. 2)
The upper slide (18) protects you from involuntary contact with the sawblade and swirling sawdust. For the upper slide to
offer sufficient protection against contacts with the sawblade, the upper sawblade guide must always be at a distance of
3 mm from the workpiece.
Lower slide (Fig. 2)
The lower slide (19) protects you from involuntary contact with the sawblade. When you close the lower door, the lower slide
swivels and positions itself in front of the blade.
The lower slide must always be in place when the machine is operating.
