cautions when working with the breaking

Changing the saw blade as well as installation,
maintenance and repair work may only be car-
ried out when the machine is disconnected from

2.2 Behaviour at the place of work
1. Keep your place of work tidy. Untidiness can
lead to accidents.
2. Give consideration to environmental influences.
Ensure good lighting (min. 500 lux).
3. Protect yourself against electric shock. Plug
sockets must be protected by residual-current
circuit breakers.
4. Keep other people away from your place of
work. Work in a concentrated and sensible man-
ner. Do not use the breaking saw when you are
unconcentrated and/or tired.
5. Store the saw in a safe place. Store the saw in a
dry place when not in use.
6. Work clothing: Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery as these could become tangled up in
moving parts. Wear solid shoes when working.
Wear a hair net as a general rule!
7. Avoid abnormal body postures. Ensure a safe
working position and keep your balance at all
times.
8. Service your tools with care. Use only sharp and
undamaged saw blades so that you can work
better and safer.
9. Use only original EFA saw blades. Follow the
instructions given under "Changing the saw
blade" (see chapter 4.1).
10.Do not leave wrenches on the machine. Check
that all wrenches have been removed before
starting the machine.
11.Use only original EFA accessories. Use of other
accessories will void the warranty. Use of other
tools or accessories may result in injury.
12.Holes must never be drilled in the motor hous-
ing (e.g. for attachment of nameplates). Use
adhesive signs for marking the equipment.
13.Keep the ventilation slots on both sides of the
motor free from soiling.
14.Modifications and changes to the machine are
not permitted and will relieve S&W of any war-
ranty and liability.
3. Commissioning and opera-
tional safety

The working area for the operator should be at
least 15 square feet. No other place of work should
extend into this area, as the movements with the
saw could result in the risk of injury.
The illumination at the place of work must be at
least 500 lux.

necting to the mains power sup-
