slow down the saw blade by applying pressure to its
side.
• Only fit blades which are well sharpened and have
no cracks or deformations.
• Never dismantle the machineʼs safety devices or
render them inoperative.
• Faulty saw blades must be replaced immediately.
• Never use saw blades which do not comply with
the data specified in this manual.
• It is imperative to make sure that all devices which
cover the saw blade are in good working order.
•
Important:
It is prohibited to use this saw to make
plunge cuts.
• Damaged or faulty safety devices have to be
replaced immediately.
• The splitter is an important safety device. Not only
does it guide the workpiece, it also prevents the
kerf closing behind the blade so that there is no
kickback from the workpiece. Note the thickness
of the splitter. The splitter should never be thinner
than the saw blade body or thicker than the width
of its kerf.
• The guard hood has to be lowered over the
workpiece for each cut.
• Be sure to use a push stick when slitting narrow
workpieces (smaller than 120 mm in width).
• Never cut workpieces which are too small to hold
securely in your hand.
• It is imperative for the parallel stop to be clamped
on the right-hand side of the blade whenever you
cut narrow workpieces to size.
• Always stand to the side of the saw blade when
working with the saw.
• Never load the machine so much that it cuts out.
• Always press the workpiece firmly against the saw
table.
• Make sure that off-cuts do not catch on the saw
blade crown. Risk of catapulting!
• Refit all guards and safety devices immediately
after you have completed any repairs or
maintenance work.
• Be sure to observe the safety information and
operating and maintenance instructions issued by
the manufacturer, as well as the dimensions listed
in the Technical Data.
• It is imperative to observe the accident prevention
regulations in force in your area as well as all
other generally recognized rules of safety.
• Note the information published by your
professional associations.
• Connect up the dust extraction system on all
jobs. The operator has to be informed about the
conditions with an influence on dust development,
e.g. the type of material being processed (source
and collection of the dust), the significance of local
separation arrangements, and the correct setting
of hoods, baffle plates and guides.
• Operate the saw only with a suitable vacuum
extraction system or a standard industrial vacuum
cleaner.
• Never remove loose splinters, chips or jammed
pieces of wood when the saw blade is running.
• To rectify faults or remove jammed pieces of
wood, always switch off the machine first. Pull the
power plug!
• If the sawing gap is worn, replace the table insert.
Pull the power plug!
