Safety instructions
General instructions:
Never work without the protective equipment
prescribed for the relevant operation and do not
make any modifications to the machine that
could undermine safety.
Children and young persons must not operate
this machine. This rule does not apply to young
persons receiving training and being supervised
by an expert.
Prior to all work, make sure that the safety and
operating equipment is securely attached and
undamaged. Damaged safety equipment and
parts must be correctly repaired or exchanged.
Always be aware of environmental influences.
Do not allow the machine to be exposed to the
rain and do not use the machine in a damp or
wet environment, or in the vicinity of inflamma-
ble liquids and gases.
When operating the machine outdoors, use of an
earth-leakage circuit-breaker is recommended.
Do not carry the machine by the cable and do
not remove the mains plug from the socket by
pulling on the cable.
Protect the cable against oil and high tempera-
tures and do not pull it over any sharp edges.
Damaged cables or plugs must be renewed
immediately.
Avoid sharp bends in the cable. Especially when
transporting and storing the machine, do not
wind the cable around the machine.
Works on the electrical components of the machine
should only be performed by a trained electrician.
Store the machine in the dry under lock and key
and out of reach of children.
Instructions on the use of personal safety equip-
ment:
Always wear close-fitting industrial clothing and
remove rings, bracelets and watches.
The sound pressure level at the workplace gen-
erally exceeds 85 dB (A). Users should there-
fore wear ear protectors.
Instructions on operation:
Connect the machine only with the mains if it is
switched off.
Provide an uncluttered, anti-slip location with
adequate illumination.
Before the machine is switched on, ensure that
the saw blade is properly tightened and that the
protective equipment is attached.
Before tool changes, making adjustments and
eliminating malfunctions (including the removal
of trapped chips), pull out the mains plug.
Never work with pieces which are too big or too
small for the machine´s capacity.
Whenever possible, secure the workpiece against
slipping (e.g. with screw clamps).
Remove protective guards on the machine only-
for changing tools. Never work without the pro-
tective guards in place!
Do not begin cutting until the saw blade has
reached full speed.
Residual risks may also arise owing
to the design of the machine relat-
ing to its intended purpose even if
the machine is used properly and in
compliance with all relevant safety
regulations; e.g.:
Woodworking machines can be
dangerous when in use! You should
therefore always follow the safety
instructions set out in this chapter,
as well as the safety regulations
applicable in the country of use!
