time it takes for the blade to stop after switch
is released.
Function of the guide wedge [1-5]
a.
Use the correct saw blade for the guide wedge,
where possible. The function of the guide
wedge is restricted if using saw blades with
a thicker blade core.
To ensure that the guide
wedge functions properly, make sure the blade
core of the saw blade is thinner than the guide
wedge and that the tooth width is greater than
the thickness of the guide wedge. Expect in-
creased risk of kickback when using a thicker
saw blade.
b.
Do not operate the saw if the guide wedge is
bent.
Even the slightest problem can cause the
protective cover to close more slowly.
Further safety instructions
–
This electric power tool cannot be installed
in a work bench.
The electric power tool may
become unsafe and cause serious accidents if
installed in benches from other manufacturers
or self-manufactured work benches.
–
Never reach into the chip ejector with your
hands.
Rotating parts may injure your hands.
–
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call
the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and
electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead
to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes
property damage or may cause an electric
shock.
–
Wait until the power tool stops completely until
placing it down.
The tool can become entangled
and lead to a loss of control of the power tool.
– Do not use the machine for overhead work.
–
Harmful/toxic dust may be produced during
your work (e.g. paint containing lead, certain
types of wood and metal).
Inhaling or coming
into contact with this dust may represent a
hazard for operating personnel or persons in
the vicinity. Comply with the safety regulations
that apply in your country.
Wear a P2 respiratory mask to protect
your health.
– Ensure that enclosed spaces are adequately
ventilated and, if necessary, connect a mobile
dust extractor.
2.3
Residual risks
In spite of compliance with all relevant design
regulations, hazards while operating the machine
still occur e.g.:
– Touching the saw blade in the area of the front
opening below the saw table,
– Touching the parts of the saw blade that
protrude below the saw table while cutting,
– Touching rotating parts from left and right sides:
saw blade, clamping flange, flange screw,
– Kickback of machine due to jamming in the
workpiece,
– Touching live parts when the casing is opened
and the mains plug is in the socket,
– the flying off of parts,
– the flying off of machine parts from a damaged
machine,
– noise emission,
– dust emission.
2.4
Aluminium processing
When sawing aluminium, the following
measures must be taken for safety rea-
sons:
– Install an upstream residual-current circuit
breaker (FIG, PRCD).
– Connect the machine to a suitable dust extrac-
tor.
– Regularly remove dust deposits from the motor
housing.
– Use an aluminium saw blade.
– Close the viewing window/chipguard.
Wear protective goggles!
– When sawing panels, they must be lubricated
with paraffin but thin-walled profiles (up to
3 mm) can be sawed without lubrication.
