moving parts of the machine. We recommend using
working gloves and anti-slip working shoes for outdoor
works. Long hair must be adequately protected.
• Use personal protective equipment. Protective
glasses and earmuffs must be used at all times. A
respirator is also necessary. Closefitting gloves must
always be used when handling sharp edges and circular-
saw blades.
•
Use a dust exhauster. If dust exhaust and collection
equipment is available, it must be fitted and used
properly. Make sure dust and sawdust are always
diverted from you and other persons who are near the
machine.
•
Watch out for the feeder cable. Do not pull the cable.
Do not use it to pull the plug out. Keep the cable out of
reach of thermal sources, oil and sharp edges.
• Secure the workpiece. Appropriate clamps, pliers, etc.
to be used. It is always safer than holding the workpiece
by hand. In addition, you have both hands free for work.
• Make always sure your posture is balanced and safe.
Do not incline e.g. too far or away when reaching for
something.
•
Remove any tool keys, etc. All keys used for tool
change, etc. must be removed before switching the
machine on.
•
Prevent any unintentional switch-on. Before plugging
the machine, make always sure the machine is switched
off on the machine switch.
• When working outdoors, special extension cables to
be used only.
For outdoor works, you need special
extension cables suitable for that purpose and bearing
the respective marking.
•
Be careful at all times. Pay attention to what you are
doing.
Use common sense when working. Do not use
electric tools when you are tired.
• Watch out for any damaged parts. Check the machine
before using it. Are any parts damaged? In case of slight
damage, please consider seriously whether the machine
would still work safely and perfectly. Provide appropriate
adjustment and setting of the moving parts. Do any
elements not fit into each other properly? Are any of
them damaged? Is everything installed properly? Are all
other conditions for perfect machine working satisfied?
Any damaged protective equipment, etc. must be
repaired or replaced by authorised repairmen, unless
otherwise explicitly provided in the Operating
Instructions. Have any defective switches repaired in an
authorised workshop. Do not use the machine when the
switch cannot be turned on/off properly. Replace the
table insert when worn out. If any machine (including
protective equipment and circular-saw blade), defects
are unexpectedly detected, please contact your local
service centre.
• Avoid being hit by electric shock. Avoid body contact
with grounded objects such as water pipes, radiators,
cookers and refrigerators.
• Approved parts to be used only. Only identical spare
parts to be used for any servicing and repair. For that
purpose, contact an authorised service centre.
•
Warning! Use of accessory equipment and extensions
not explicitly recommended in these Operating
Instructions may lead to putting persons and objects at
risk.
•
Caution: The sliding bar to be necessarily used for all
works.
• Take care of your machine. Keep the cutting tools
sharp and clean – you will work better and safer. Follow
the tool change and lubrication instructions. At regular
intervals, check the machine electric cable and have it
replaced by an authorised professional if damaged. At
regular intervals, check the extension cables and replace
them if damaged. Keep the handles dry, with no oil and
grease.
•
Unplug the machine. If the electric tool is not being
used, before any servicing and when changing any tool,
e.g. circular-saw blade, drill, cutter.
•
Have your electric tools repaired by an electrician.
This electric tool corresponds to applicable safety
provisions. Any repairs may only be repaired by an
electrician who may only use original spare parts;
otherwise, the user may get injured.
