hands away from the machining area when oper -
ating the machine.
Work pieces and tools can ricochet and lead to in -
jury and property damage. Make sure that the ma -
chine and tools are always in good condition. Use
clamps or a vice to hold the work piece firmly in
position. Do not work on items that are too small
to securely clamp in place.
Check for correct alignment of moving and rotat -
ing parts or other failures that could be a source
of danger. A damaged guard or other part should
be replaced by an authorized service center be-
fore operating the machine.
Do not touch the moving parts before they come
in complete stop.
To reduce the risk of damage from moving parts:
f
Choose the right blade size and style for the mate -
rial and the type of cutting you plan to do.
f
Make sure the blade teeth point downward, to -
wards the table.
f
Make sure the blade guide bearings are properly
adjusted.
f
Make sure the blade tension is properly adjusted.
f
Never cut metals with this machine, only wood
and wood products.
To reduce the risk of accidental blade contact,
minimize blade breakage and provide maximum
blade support, always adjust the upper blade
guide and blade guard.
NOISE AND VIBRATION HAZARDS
The noise levels shown in these instructions are
the maximum levels for use of the machine. Insuf -
ficient maintenance has a significant impact on
vibration and noise emissions. Consequently, it
is necessary to take preventive steps to eliminate
possible damage due to high levels of noise and
stress from vibration. Maintain the machine well,
wear ear protection devices, anti-vibration gloves
and take breaks while working.
WORKING AREA HAZARDS
Thoroughly inspect the whole work area and use
a rake or yard brush to manually loosen debris
and remove anything that could be a hazardous
source to you or cause damage to the machine.
Keep work area clean and tidy. Do not operate the
machine in wet environment conditions or when
the machine itself is wet. Keep the machine away
from flammable material. Check that there are no
bystanders, animal or items that could be dam -
aged within the machine’s range of action.
Operate only in well ventilated areas. Wood chips
and saw dust can be a health hazard when inhaled
or when in contact with the eyes. Always wear
appropriate half-mask respirator and protective
goggles, when working with such materials and
use a dust extraction device.
Work only in daylight, or with suitable artificial
light, in good visibility conditions. Try not to cause
any noise disturbance, by only using this machine
at reasonable times of the day.
Take on a firm and well-balanced position. Where
possible, avoid working on wet, slippery ground
or in any case on uneven or steep ground that
does not guarantee stability for the operator.
Storing of tools that are not in use should be done
in a dry and safe place away from the operating
machine and out of the reach of children.
REMAINING HAZARDS
The machine was built using modern technology
and in accordance with recognized safety rules.
Even when all safety measures are in place, some
remaining hazards, which are not yet evident, may
be present. The operator should use common
sense and take necessary precautions to avoid risk
due to remaining hazards.
