Give these safety regulations to all persons who
work on the machine.
Do not use this saw to cut fire wood.
Do not use this saw to cross-cut roundwood.
Caution! You may place yourself in danger of
injury if you use any other plug-in tools and
accessories.
The machine is equipped with a safety circuit-
breaker (11) to prevent it starting up again after
a voltage drop.
Before you use the machine for the first time,
check that the voltage marked on the rating plate
is the same as your mains voltage.
If you need to use an extension cable, make
sure its conductor cross-section is big enough
for the saw’s power consumption. Minimum
cross-section: 1 mm
2
.
If you use a cable reel, the complete cable has
to be pulled off the reel.
Check the power cable (9). Never use a faulty or
damaged power cable.
Never remove the plug from the socket-outlet by
pulling the cable. Protect the cable from heat, oil
and sharp edges.
Do not leave the saw in the rain and never use it
in damp or wet conditions.
Provide good lighting.
Never saw near combustible liquids or gases.
Wear suitable work clothes! Loose garments or
jewellery may become caught up in the rotating
saw blade.
We recommend wearing non-slip shoes when
working outdoors.
If you have long hair, wear a hair-net.
Avoid abnormal postures.
Operators have to be at least 18 years of age.
Trainees of at least 16 years of age are allowed
to use the machine under supervision.
An untidy workplace may result in accidents.
Do not allow other persons, particularly children,
to touch the tool or the power cable. Keep them
away from your workplace.
Keep children away from the machine when it is
connected to the power supply.
Keep your workplace clean of wood scrap and
any unnecessary objects.
Persons working on the machine should not be
distracted.
Note the direction of rotation of the motor and
saw blade.
After you have switched off the motor, never
slow down the saw blade (4) by applying
pressure to its side.
Fit only blades (4) which are well sharpened and
have no cracks or deformations.
Use only circular saw blades (4) made of high-
alloy high-speed steel (HSS).
The machine is to be operated only with tools
which conform with prEN 847-1: 1966.
Faulty saw blades (4) have to be replaced
immediately.
Never use saw blades which do not comply with
the data specified in this manual.
Never wedge the hinged guard hood (2) in open
position.
Never dismantle the machine’s safety devices
(2, 5) or put them out of operation.
The splitter (5) is an important safety device. Not
only does it guide the workpiece, it also prevents
the kerf closing behind the blade so that there is
no kickback from the workpiece. Note the
thickness of the splitter. The splitter should
never be thinner than the saw blade body or
thicker than the width of its kerf.
The guard hood (2) has to be lowered over the
workpiece for each cut.
Be sure to use a push stick (3) when slitting
narrow workpieces (smaller than 120 mm in
width).
Never cut workpieces which are too small to hold
securely in your hand.
The parallel stop has to be clamped
on the right-hand side of the saw blade when
cutting narrow workpieces.
Important: This saw is not to be used for plunge
cutting.
Always stand to the side of the saw blade when
working with the saw.
Never load the machine so much that it cuts out.
Always press the workpiece firmly against the
saw table (1).
Make sure that off-cuts do not catch on the saw
blade crown. Risk of catapulting!
Never remove loose splinters, chips or jammed
pieces of wood when the saw blade is running.
To rectify faults or remove jammed pieces of
wood, always switch off the machine first. - Pull
out the power plug! -
If the sawing gap is worn, replace the table
insert (6). - Pull out the power plug! -
Conversions, adjustments, measurements and
cleaning jobs are to be performed only when the
motor is switched off. - Pull out the power plug! -
Before you switch on the machine, check that all
wrenches and adjustment tools have been
removed.
When you leave your workplace, switch off the
motor and pull out the power plug.
All guards and safety devices have to be refitted
immediately after completion of any repairs or
maintenance.
It is imperative to observe the manufacturer’s
safety, operating and maintenance instructions
as well as the dimensions quoted in the
technical data.
It is imperative to observe the accident
prevention regulations in force in your area as
well as all other generally recognized rules of
safety.
