• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces
dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected situ-
ations.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
Safety instructions for table saws
• Ensure that other people are kept a
safe distance from your workplace.
Anyone entering the workplace must
wear personal protective gear. Pieces
of the work piece may fly away and cause
injuries even outside the direct working
area.
• Only use the power tool for those
materials specified under intended
use. The power tool may otherwise be
overloaded.
• Do not stand on the power tool. There
is a risk of serious injury if the power tool
tips over or if you accidentally come into
contact with the saw blade.
• Always make sure that the saw blade
guard functions correctly and moves
freely. Set the saw blade guard in such a
way that if rests gently on the work piece.
Never fix the saw blade guard in place.
• Do not stand in a line with the saw
blade in front of the machine. Always
stand aside of the saw blade. This pro-
tects your body against possible kickback.
• Never bring your hands into the saw-
ing area when the power tool is run-
ning. Contact with the saw blade holds a
risk of serious injury.
• Never reach behind the saw blade to
hold the work piece or to remove shav-
ings. The distance between your hand
and the operating saw blade is too small.

• Only guide the work piece as far as the
operating saw blade. Otherwise there is
a risk of kickback when the saw blade
becomes jammed in the entering work
piece.
• Use the power tool only when the work
surface is free from all setting tools,
wood shavings etc. Objects that come
into contact with the rotating saw blade
may hit the operator at a high speed.
• Always saw one work piece at a time.
Work pieces that are stacked or stacked
against each other may block the saw
blade or slide about during sawing.
• Long work pieces must be supported
at the free end. Freely swinging work
piece ends may cause loss of control.
• Always use the parallel or cross stop-
per. This improves the accuracy of the cut
and reduces the possibility of a jammed
saw blade.
• When the saw blade binds, switch the
power tool off and hold the saw
motionless in the work piece until the
saw blade comes to a standstill. In
order to prevent kickback, only move the
work piece after the saw blade has come
to a standstill.
Eliminate the cause of the jamming blade
before you start the power tool back up
again.
• Do not use accessories that have not
been designed and recommended by
the manufacturer for this specific
power tool. Just because you are able to
attach an accessory to your power tool
this does not guarantee that it is safe to
use.
• Do not use blunt, cracked, deformed or
damaged blades. Only replace the saw
blade with a blade that meets the Euro-
pean norm EN 847-1. The saw blade
must meet the specifications given in
the technical data section. Blades with
blunt or incorrectly oriented teeth will
cause increased friction and jamming of
the blade as well as kickback.
• Always make sure that the riving knife
matches the dimensions of the saw
blade and is correctly aligned. The riv-
ing knife may not be thicker than the
cutting groove width and it may not be
thinner than the body of the saw
blade. Otherwise there is a risk that the
riving knife may get caught in the work
piece.
