Special safety instructions
1. Safety actions
n
Blades that are deformed or cracked must not be
used.
n
If the table insert is worn, replace it.
n
Use only blades which are recommended by the
manufacturer and comply with EN 847-1. When
changing the blade, make sure that the cutting
width is not smaller and the saw plate not bigger
than the thickness of the splitter.
n
Make sure that the chosen blade is suitable for
the material that is to be cut.
n
If necessary, wear suitable personal protection
equipment. This could consist of:
- Ear plugs to prevent the risk of damaging your
hearing;
- A breathing mask to avoid the risk of inhaling
hazardous dust.
- Always wear gloves when handling saw blades
and rough materials. Whenever practicable, saw
blades must be carried in a container.
n
The following can have an influence on dust
development:
- Worn, damaged or cracked saw blades
- Recommended capacity of the vacuum
extraction system: 20 m/s
- Proper guidance of the workpiece
n
Blades made of high-alloy high-speed steel
(HSS) must not be used.
n
Keep the push stick or handle for a push block at
the machine at all times, even when you are not
using them.
2. Maintenance and service
n
The following conditions can have an influence
on noise impact on the operator:
- Type of sawblade (e.g. saw blades designed to
reduce noise development)
- Material of the workpiece
- The force with which the workpiece is pushed
against the sawblade
n
Faults on the machine or its guards, safety
devices and blade must be reported to the
person in charge as soon as they are
discovered.
3. Safe operation
n
Use a push stick or the handle with a push block
to feed the workpiece safely past the saw blade.
n
Use the splitter and set it correctly.
n
Use the upper blade guard and set it to the
correct position.
n
Do not cut rebates or grooves without fitting a
suitable guard, e.g. a tunnel-type guard, over the
saw table.
n
Circular saws must not be used for slotting jobs
(cutting grooves which end in the workpiece).
n
Use only blades whose permissible maximum
speed is not lower than the maximum spindle
speed of the bench-type circular saw and of the
material to be cut.
n
Use only the transport devices to move the
machine. Never use the guards for handling or
moving the machine.
n
While you are moving the machine it is best to
cover the top part of the blade, e.g. with the
guard.
n
Secure long workpieces against falling off at the
end of the cut (e.g. with a roller stand etc.)
4. Additional instructions
n
Give these safety regulations to all persons who
work on the machine.
n
Do not use this saw to cut fire wood.
n
Do not use this saw to cross-cut roundwood.
n
Caution! Hands and fingers may be injured on
the rotating saw blade.
n
The machine is equipped with a safety switch to
prevent it being switched on again accidentally
after a power failure.
