Work instructions
The machine is equipped with a two-hand
safety circuit.
Hold the machine firmly at both switching
handles, never work one-handed.
Work particularly carefully when the ma-
chine is switched on.
Protective equipment on the saw must not
be removed to complete cutting.
To aid safe handling (guidance), the saw
should be hung on a spring balancer.
After switching on the saw, never reach into
the area of the saw belt.
Do not actuate the motor switch when in-
stalling the saw belt.
Check the suspension for damages regu-
larly.
Take heed of the general safety instructions,
see section "Safety instructions".
4.2 Switching off
Lift your fingers off the switch lever.
The switch goes off automatically due to the
return spring and then locks.
When the splitting saw is switched off, the saw
belt stops moving immediately.

carried out by authorised spe-
cialist personnel.
Disconnect the machine from
the mains before starting any

The saw belt to be replaced
only if the units are discon-
nected from the mains!
