10 Working with the electric
power tool
10.1 Safe working
When working on the machine, observe all of
the safety warnings that are listed at the start
and the following rules:
Safety devices
– Only use the power tool if all safety devices
are in their correct positions and the power
tool is in good condition and has been well
maintained.
– Always use the supplied spacer wedges
and the guard. Ensure that they are set
correctly as described in the operating
manual. If a spacer wedge is set incorrectly
and components that are required for safe
ty reasons (such as the guard) are re
moved, this may result in serious injuries.
– There must not be any damage to the plate
and table insert (e.g. cuts in the sawing
gap). If a plate or table insert is damaged,
replace it immediately.
– Never work without using a table insert.
Working position
– Correct working position:
– At the front on the side of the operator;
– Head-on to the saw;
– Beside the line of cut.
– Risk of injury from ejected parts. Any per
sons standing in the vicinity of the saw may
be injured. Maintain distance from the saw.
Putting down and ready to work
– To avoid tripping, hang the power cord on
the power cord holders (see section
7
) and
put the mobile dust extractor down near
the power tool.
Protective gloves
– Do not wear protective gloves when sawing.
Protective gloves may become caught in
the saw blade and pull the hand into the
saw blade.
Speed
– To prevent the saw blade from overheating
or the plastic from melting, set the correct
speed for the cutting material and do not
use excess pressure when cutting.
Electronics
– Do not work on the power tool if its elec
tronics are defective as this may lead to ex
cessive speeds. Defective electronics mean
that there is no smooth start-up and the
speed regulation fails.
Workpieces
– Do not work with oversized and heavy
workpieces that could damage the tool.
– Support long workpieces on the receiving
side.
Area of the saw blade
– Keep the cutting area behind the saw blade
free of offcuts or other workpiece parts.
– Do not remove offcuts or other workpiece
parts from the cutting area while the
bench-mounted circular saw is still run
ning or before the saw blade stops moving.
– If the saw blade is jammed, switch the ma
chine off immediately and disconnect the
mains plug. Do not remove the jammed
workpiece until you have done this.
10.2 Push stick
WARNING
Risk of accidents due to rotating saw blade
► At a distance of 50–150 mm between the
stop rail
[14-2]
and the saw blade
[14-3]
,
always make use of the push stick
[14-1]
supplied.
Store the push stick
[14-1]
in the push
stick holder
[14-4]
when not in use.
10.3 Rip cuts
► Use the riving knife with the guard for rip
cuts (see section
9.8
).
► Set the preset profile setting rail as a rip
fence (see section
9.5
).
► Guide the workpiece to the fence.
10.4 Cuts along the mitre
For workpieces with a width of ≤ 150 mm,
only use right-hand stop rails. This guar
antees increased space between the stop
rail and the saw blade
► Use the spacer wedge with guard (see sec
tion
9.8
).
