• If it is unavoidable to use a power tool in a wet ambience, use a residual-current circuit-breaker. It will reduce the risk of getting an electric shock.
• Take care of what you do and handle the power tool with care. Never use a power tool, when you feel tired or when you are under the influence
of drugs of any kind or alcohol. One moment of inat-tentiveness while using the power tool can cause severe injuries.
• Do wear suitable personal protective clothing and equipment, such as hearing protection, goggles, dust masks while doing dust-generating jobs
as well as protective gloves, when processing rough materials and when changing tools.
• Remove the setting tools or wrenches before switching on the power tool. A tool or wrench at-tached to a rotating part of the equipment may
cause injuries.
• Wear suitable clothes, i.e. no loose garments or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from rotating parts. Loose garments, jewellery
or long hair may be caught by such rotating parts.
• Always use the protective hood with the dust extractor.
• Do not use power tools with a defective switch. A power tool that can no longer be switched on or off is dangerous and needs repairing.
• Keep unused power tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons using equipment which they are not familiar with it, or persons who
have not read these instructions. Power tools pose a danger, when being used by inexperienced persons.
• Check before starting to work, whether equipment and tools function properly. Never work with damaged or blunt tools.
• Have your power tools only repaired by duly qualified personnel. Demand original spares, so that the safety of the power tool remains ensured.
• Pull the plug from the socket and/or remove the battery pack from the power tools before you change the setting of your equipment or before
you replace any components. The unin-tentional re-start of a power tool may cause accidents.
• Put up the machine table properly before installing the power tool. The table’s safe assem-bly is vital to prevent it from collapsing.
• Attach the power tool safely to the machine plate before using it. If the power tool gets out of place on the machine plate, you may lose control
of it.
• Put the machine table on a firm, plain and horizontal surface. If the machine table can shift or wobble, neither the power tool nor the work piece
can be moved safely and steadily.
• Do not overload the machine table and do not use it as ladder or scaffolding. Excess loads or standing on the machine table can shift the table’s
centre of gravity upwards, so that it may topple over.
• Do not process any other materials than wood or easily machinable plastic. Exception: It is also allowed processing easily machinable metals
(e.g. aluminium), but only with the jig-saw and a suitable saw blade
• Loose splinters, chips or similar residues must not be removed by hand from the area close to the running saw blade!
• The machines used must conform to DIN EN 60745-1. Equipment built after 1994 must bear the CE sign.
• Do not merely saw by hand without a guiding aid; use the parallel or the angle guide.
• Make sure that the turning handles for tightening the table legs are closed.
• Make sure before starting to work that the hand-held circular saw, the router or the jigsaw is properly attached to the machine plate and that the
machine plate is safely arrested in the notch of the machine table.
• Saw blades must not be slowed down by pushing from the side after the drive has been deactivated!
• Use the tools for their intended purpose only.
• Use only faultless saw blades; the base body must not be thicker and the width of the set of teeth not narrower than the thickness
of the splitting wedge.
• Make regular checks, whether all screws are tightened firmly!
• Never use your workbench in an improper way or for purposes other than intended!
• Remove all objects from the workbench that are not required.
• Do not use the machine for cutting firewood.
• Do not use the machine table for cutting log wood.
• The power tools must only be switched on and off via the safety switch.
• Use only the switch clamp supplied to permanently fix the appliance switch in the „ON“ position.
• Replace damaged gap inserts with new ones.
• Always use a push stick when processing small or narrow work pieces.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CIRCULAR SAWS
• Apart from these machine-specific safety instructions, do also observe the safety instruc-tions for the hand-held circular saw you work with.
• Only use hand-held circular saws with splitting wedge, with a maximum saw blade diame-ter of 200 mm and a maximum cutting depth of 66 mm.
• Use only saws within the above maximum dimensions for the base plate (see Fig. 3.1).
• Use the circular saw bench only, when the protective hood is properly fixed.
• PLEASE NOTE: Make sure that the saw blade has been installed parallel to the opening in the gap insert and re-align the hand-held circular saw,
if necessary.
• Support long work pieces at the removal side, so that they rest in a horizontal position; e.g. with a wolfcraft roller trestle (Art. No. 6119973).
• Avoid overloading the hand-held circular saw.
• Do not use grinding pads.
• Use only recommended brands of saw blades and select them depending on the material to be sawn.
• DANGER: Keep your hands off the sawing area and the saw blade.
• Never reach under the work piece. The protective hood cannot protect you from the saw blade underneath the work piece.
• Adapt the cutting depth to the thickness of the work piece; less than a full tooth height should be visible under the work piece.
• Be always aware that the work piece can be caught by the running saw blade and hit the operator.
• A back stroke is the result of using the saw incorrectly and/or for a wrong application. It can be prevented by suitable precautionary measures,
as described below.
• Keep the saw firmly with both hands and put your arms in a position, so that you can ab-sorb the back stroke forces. Always stand to the side
of the saw blade; never align your body with the saw blade. In the event of a back stroke, the circular saw can jump back-wards,
although the operator should be able to master the situation by taking suitable pre-cautionary measures.
• Should the saw blade be jammed or should you interrupt your work, always switch off the saw and keep it steady in the material until the saw
blade has come to a standstill. Never try to remove the saw from the work piece or pull it backwards, as long as the saw blade is rotating,
as this may result in a back stroke. Find out the reason why the saw blade is jammed and eliminate the cause.
• If you wish to re-start a saw that is still in the work piece, centre the saw blade in the saw gap and check, whether saw teeth might be blocked
in the work piece. If the saw blade jams, it may free itself from the work piece or cause a back stroke during the re-start of the saw.
• Support large plates, in order to minimize the risk of a back stroke caused by a jammed saw blade. Large plates may bend under their own weight.
Plates must be supported on both sides, both near the saw gap and at the edge.
• Do not use blunt or damaged saw blades. Saw blades with blunt or incorrectly set teeth will increase the friction at the narrow saw gap,
cause the saw blade to jam and may result in a back stroke.
• Set and fix the cutting depth and the cutting angle before starting to saw. If the settings change during the sawing, the saw blade may get blocked
and cause a back stroke.
