Cut work pieces may have sharp edges, ridges or wooden splinters! Danger of cutting
injuries!
▪
Always switch the machine off and remove the power plug when your leave the machine.
▪
Never expose the device to rain or extreme moisture!
▪
Do not perform any cuts with this circular table saw, other than those described in these
operating instructions! Seams and notches are not allowed to be sawn!
▪
Circular saws are not allowed to be used for slitting (notches which end in the work piece)!
▪
Do not operate saw without guards and riving knife in place. Check blade guards for
proper closing before each use. Do not operate saw if blade guards do not move freely
and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the blade guards into the open position. Any
irregular operation of the blade guards should be corrected immediately.
▪
Use only saw blades recommended by the manufacturer and which conform to EN847-1,
and observe that the riving knife must not be thicker than the width of the cut by the saw
blade and not thinner than the body of the blade.
▪
Always use accessories recommended in this manual. Use of improper accessories such
as abrasive cut-off wheels may cause an injury.
▪
Select the correct saw blade for the material to be cut.
▪
Do not use saw blades manufactured from high speed steel.
▪
To reduce the emitted noise, always be sure that the blade is sharp and clean.
▪
Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe the maximum speed marked on the saw
blade.
▪
The tool should not be used for slotting, rabbetting or grooving.
▪
Some dust created from operation contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
▪
lead from lead-based-painted material and,
▪
arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
▪
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in well ventilated area and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
▪
Use push stick or push block to avoid working with the hands and fingers close to the saw
blade.
▪
Always store the push-stick when it is not in use.
▪
Place a stable support under long workpieces. This allows you to prevent the instability of
the tool.
Warning! Do not use damaged or deformed saw blades.
▪
Replace a worn table insert.
▪
Make sure that you use only saw blades specified by the manufacturer that comply with
EN 847-1 when they are intended for working wood or similar materials.
▪
When replacing the saw blade, make sure that the cutting width is not smaller and the
thickness of the saw blade body is not larger than the thickness of the splitter.
▪
Select a saw blade that is appropriate for the material to be cut.
▪
Wear personal protective equipment such as:
- Ear protection to reduce the risk of becoming hard of hearing
- Eye protection
- Respiratory protection to reduce the risk of inhaling harmful dust
- Gloves, when handling saw blades and rough materials (it is recommended to carry saw
blades in a container, whenever practicable)
▪
Connect the saw to a dust-collecting device when sawing wood.
