• The machines used must conform to DIN EN 60745-1. Equipment built after 1995 must bear the CE sign.
• Do not merely saw by hand without a guiding aid; use the parallel or the angle guide.
• 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.
• Make sure the eccentric levers for fixing 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, or that it rests safely on the guide bar.
• Observe the admissible maximum dimensions for the work pieces (see Technical data).
• When not in use, hang the push stick, the split inserts or the angle stop on the screw hooks provided for this purpose.
• Do not use the machine table outdoors in the rain or in damp conditions.

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 70 mm.
• Use only saws within the above maximum dimensions for the base plate (see Fig. 13).
• 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.
• Take extra care when making a „plunge cut“ into an existing wall or other concealed areas. The immersing saw blade may block
in concealed objects and cause a back stroke.
• Observe the admissible maximum dimensions for the work pieces (see Technical data).
•
Always use the push stick when cutting slashes and joints, since the saw blade is not visible.
