d) Align the stop rail parallel to the saw blade.
A stop rail that is not aligned will push the workpiece
against the saw blade and create kickback.
e) With concealed saw cuts (e.g. folds, grooves or
slits in the turning process), use a thrust collar
to guide the workpiece against the table and
stop rail.
Using a thrust collar, you are able to better control the
workpiece in the event of kickback.
f) Apply particular caution when sawing assem-
bled workpieces in areas that are not visible.
The plunging saw blade can saw into objects that could
cause a kickback.
g) Support large panels, in order to avoid the risk
of kickback due to a jammed saw blade.
Large panels may bend under their own weight. Panels
must be supported in all areas where they overhang the
table surface.
h) Apply particular caution when sawing work-
pieces that are twisted, knotted or warped, or
that do not have a straight edge that can be
used to guide them with a mitre stop or along
a stop rail.
A twisted, knotted or warped workpiece is unstable and
results in incorrect alignment of the kerf with the saw blade,
jamming and kickback.
i) Never saw multiple workpieces stacked on top
of each other, or one behind the other.
The saw blade could engage in one or more parts and
result in kickback.
j) If you wish to restart a saw, the saw blade of
which is inserted in a workpiece, centre the
saw blade in the sawing gap so that the saw
teeth are not hooked in the workpiece.
If the saw
blade is jammed, it can lift the workpiece and cause kick-
back when the saw is restarted.
k) Always keep saw blades clean, sharp and suf-
ficiently set. Never use warped saw blades or
saw blades with cracked or broken teeth.
Sharp and correctly set saw blades minimise jamming,
blocking and kickback.
Safety instructions for the operation of circular ta-
ble saws
a) Switch off the circular table saw and disconnect
it from the power supply before removing the
table insert, changing the saw blade, imple-
menting settings on the riving knife or the saw
blade protective cover, and if the machine is left
unattended.
Precautionary measures serve to prevent accidents.
b) Never leave the circular table saw running un-
attended. Switch off the electric tool and do not
leave it until it has come to a complete stand-
still.
An unattended running saw poses an uncontrolled risk.
c) Set up the circular table saw in a location that
is level and well ventilated, and where it can
stand safely and remain balanced. The installa-
tion site must provide sufficient space for easily
handling the size of your workpieces.
Disorganised and unlit working areas, and uneven, slip-
pery floors may lead to accidents.
d) Regularly remove chips and sawdust from be-
neath the saw table and/or from the dust ex-
traction system.
Accumulated sawdust is flammable and can self-ignite.
e) Secure the circular table saw.
If a circular table saw is not secured correctly, it can move
or topple.
f) Remove the adjustment tools, wood residues,
etc. from the circular table saw before switch-
ing it on.
Deflections and possible jams could be dangerous.
g) Always use the right size of saw blade and
an appropriate location hole (e.g. diamond-
shaped or round).
Saw blades that do not fit with the mounting parts of the
saw will run out-of-centre and result in a loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade
mounting materials, such as flanges, washers,
screws or nuts.
These saw blade mounting materials have been specially
designed for your saw, for optimum performance and op-
erational safety.
i) Never stand on the circular table saw and do
not use it as a step stool.
Serious injuries can arise if the electric tool topples or if you
accidentally come into contact with the saw blade.
j) Make sure that the saw blade is mounted in the
correct direction of rotation. Do not use grinding
discs or wire brushes with the circular table saw.
Incorrect assembly of the saw blade or the use of accesso-
ries that have not been recommended can result in serious
injuries.
Safety instructions for handling saw blades
1. Only use tools which you know how to handle.
2. Pay attention to the maximum speed. The maximum speed
stated on the tool being used must not be exceeded. Keep
within the speed range if one is specified
3. Note the direction of rotation of the motor and saw blade.
4. Do not use any insertion tools with cracks. Sort out cracked
insertion tools. Repairs are not permitted.
5. Clean grease, oil and water off of the clamping surfaces.
6. Do not use any loose reducing rings or bushes to reduce
holes on circular saw blades.
7. Make sure that fixed reducer rings for securing the inser-
tion tool have the same diameter and have at least 1/3 of
the cutting diameter.
8. Make sure that fixed reducer rings are parallel to each
other.
9. Handle the tools used with care. It is best to store these
in their original packaging or special containers. Always
wear protective gloves to improve your grip and further
reduce the risk of injury.
