– type of material
– extraction (point extraction at source)
– correct adjustment of hoods, shields and funnels
– function and operation of dust extraction equipment
that must be started before working (if available).
The following general conditions must also be satisfied.
D. The product must stand on a horizontal surface when in
use and the surrounding area must also be horizontal, well
maintained and free from loose objects, wood chips and
scrap.
E. There must be sufficient lighting, either in the form of general
lighting or spotlighting of the actual workplace.
F. Raw material and cut material should be stacked close to the
operator's normal working position.
G. The operator must also follow the instructions below:
– Never work with hands near the saw blade. When a
combined crosscut saw/bench circular saw is used as a
bench circular saw, a feeding block or feeding pin must
be used without exception to move the workpiece
towards the blade.
H. Always wear suitable personal safety equipment. Depending
on the working conditions, this can include:
– ear protection to avoid noise injury
– respiratory protection to reduce the risk of dust
inhalation
– safety gloves when saw blades have to be handled
(as far as possible, saw blades must be transported
and handled with blade holders).
I. Do not crosscut (saw across the grain) logs when the product
is in bench saw position.
J. Switch off the product and pull out the plug before leaving
the product unsupervised.
K. Report any faults on the product, including faults in guards
and the saw blade, immediately.
L. Employ safe procedures for cleaning and maintenance.
Regularly remove wood chips and sawdust to reduce the risk
of fire.
M. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for using, adjusting
and repairing saw blades.
N. Select a suitable splitting knife on the basis of the actual
blade thickness when using a combined crosscut saw/bench
circular saw in the bench saw position.
O. Never exceed the maximum permitted speed specified on the
saw blade.
P. Only use correctly sharpened and set saw blades.
Q. Check that any spacers and spindle rings are suitable for the
purpose and conform to the manufacturer's instructions.
R. Never remove sawn off pieces or other parts of the workpiece
from the sawing area while the product is in operation or the
saw blade is rotating, without using a feeding pin.
S. Make sure that all guards and other safety devices are in
place, are working correctly and are in good condition.
NOTE:
When starting the product there may be a temporary voltage
drop in the mains supply, which could affect other equipment.
Such interference does not normally occur if the impedance in
the mains supply Zmax is less than 0.317 ohm. Contact your
electricity supplier for more information.

– Limit the spread of dust as far as possible.
– Do not allow dust to accumulate in the work area.
Do not blow off the dust.
NOTE:
The product is designed for a dust extractor with an air flow
speed of at least 20 m/s for dry sawdust and 28 m/s for wet
sawdust (moisture content at least 18%).
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY AS A RESULT OF
DEFECTIVE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
• Wear appropriate clothing that provides protection from
falling logs.
• Wear hair protection.
• Wear safety glasses.
• Wear a dust filter mask.
