Normal intended use
The bench-type circular saw is intended
exclusively
for
ripping and cross-cutting solid wood and panel materials
such as chipboard, core-board and medium density
fiberboard with square or rectangular cross-section using
carbide tipped saw blades, whereby only saw blades
conforming to EN 847-1 are accepbench.
The use of saw blades made of
HSS steel
(high-alloy high
speed steel) is
not permitted
since this steel is hard and
brittle. Risk of injury through saw blade breakage and
expulsion of saw blade pieces.
Cutting
round material
(posts, firewood, etc.) is not
permitted.
The
diameter
of the saw blade must lie between 245 and
254 mm.
Only workpieces which have been securely mounted and
aligned can be processed.
The intended usage also includes
compliance
with the
operating, servicing and repair conditions
prescribed by
the manufacturer and following the
safety instructions
included in the instructions.
The relevant
accident prevention
regulations for the
operation as well as the other generally acknowledged
occupational medicine and
safety rules
must be complied
with.
Any other use is deemed not to be use as prescribed. The
manufacturer is not liable for any type of damage resulting
from this:
the user bears
the sole
risk
.
Independently made alterations to the circular saw preclude
any liability of the manufacturer for resulting damages of
any kind.
The circular saw may only be
equipped, used and
serviced
by persons who are familiar with these and have
been instructed in the hazards. Repair works may only be
carried out by us or by a customer service agent nominated
by us.
The machine may not be used in a potentially explosive
environment or be exposed to the rain.
Metal parts
(nails, etc.) must be removed from the timber to
be sawn.
Residual risks
Even if used properly,
residual risks
can exist even if the
relevant safety regulations are complied with due to the design
determined by the intended purpose.
Residual risks can be minimised if the “Safety information” and
the “Intended usage” as well as the whole of the operating
instructions are observed.
Observing these instructions, and taking proper care, will
reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment.
Danger of injury of fingers and hands by the tool (saw
blade) or work piece, e.g. when replacing the saw blade.
Injury from parts of the workpiece spinning off.
Throwback of the workpiece or workpiece parts.
Breakage and expulsion of saw blade.
Risk from electricity, by using non-standard electrical
connections.
Touching live parts of opened electrical components.
Impairment of hearing when working on the machine for
longer periods of time without ear protection.
Emission of harmful timber dust when operating without
exhaust suction.
In addition, in spite of all the precautionary measures taken,
non-obvious residual risks can still exist.
Safety instructions
Wood processing machines can be dangerous when
