 Use only parts approved by the
equipment manufacturer. This ap-
plies especially for:
– saw blades (see 'Available Ac-
cessories' for stock nos.);
– safety devices (see "Spare Parts
List" for stock numbers).
 Do not change any parts.
A
Hazard generated by machine
defects!
 Keep device and accessories in
good repair. Observe the mainte-
nance instructions.
 Prior to any use check the machine
for possible damage: before opera-
ting the machine all safety devices,
protective guards or slightly dama-
ged parts need to be checked for
proper function as specified. Check
to see that all moving parts work
properly and do not jam. All parts
must be correctly installed and meet
all conditions necessary for a proper
operation of the device.

Damaged protection devices or parts
must be repaired or replaced by a
qualified specialist. Have damaged
switches replaced by a Service Cen-
tre. Do not operate tool if the switch
can not be turned ON or OFF.
 Keep handles free of oil and grease.
A
Risk of injury by noise!
 Wear hearing protection.
 Make sure the riving knife is not
bent. A bent riving knife will push
the workpiece against the side of
the saw blade, causing noise.
A
Danger from blocking workpi-
eces or workpiece parts!
If blockage occurs:
1. Switch machine OFF.
2. Unplug mains cable.
3. Wear gloves.
4. Clear the blockage using a suitable
tool.

Riving knife
The riving knife (33) prevents the work-
piece from being caught by the rising
teeth of the saw blade and being
thrown back against the operator.
Always have riving knife installed du-
ring operation.
Blade guard
The blade guard (34) protects against
unintentional contact with the saw bla-
de and from chips flying about.
Always have the blade guard installed
during operation.
Push Stick
The push stick (35) serves as an exten-
sion of the hand and protects against
accidental contact with the saw blade.
Always use the push stick if the di-
stance between saw blade and rip
fence is less than 120 mm.
Guide the push stick at an angle of 20
to 30 to the surface of the saw table.
If if the push stick is not required it can
be stored in the holder

chine.
Replace the push stick if damaged.
