……Th e Op e ra to r
Read the operating manual carefully to prevent machine accidents. Never work while under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medications. Wear tight-fitting work clothes, safety goggles and safety shoes and tie back long
hair. Remove rings, wrist watches and bracelets before working.
Ear protection is recommended. Never climb onto the machine table: the machine may fall and cause injuries. Keep
children and visitors out of the work area.
……Be fo re wo rkin g
Check that the sawing tool type is suited for the intended work. Immediately replace damaged or dull sawing
tools. Only work with the appropriate standard accessories. Always work with well-sharpened sawing tools
increase the risk of wood kick back. Note the correct rotational direction. As a general rule, check that sawing
tool wrenches and other items have been removed. Check that the sawing tool can rotate freely and does
not contact the limit stop, the safety equipment, the work piece or other objects. Keep out of the kick-back
zone.
……Wh ile wo rkin g
Wood must be hand fed uniformly and without jerking into the sawing tool, slightly more slowly when
processing hard wood or work pieces, which produce large amounts of dust. Never move the work piece
during a processing operation. Avoid uncomfortable working stances to reduce the risk of contacting the
rotating sawing tool. Do not bend over the rotating sawing tool. Remove debris from the machine table only
when the machine is off. Never use the machine table as a worktable while the sawing tool is rotating.
……Afte r wo rkin g
Never leave the machine operating without supervision. Remain at the machine until the sawing tool has come
to a complete stop. Remove debris and clean the machine and surrounding area so that the machine is ready to
use the next time.
……Ma c h in e m a in te n a n c e
Unplug the mains cable before any mechanical or electrical work is per-formed or when the sawing tool is
changed. Regularly lubricate mechanical parts: threaded rods, gears, driving chains, hinges, sliding parts,
etc.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor, with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only three wire extension cords that
have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
