carried out by a trained electrician, otherwise the
equipment may cause accidents.

Connect up a vacuum extraction system
- If there are provisions for connecting up a
vacuum extraction system, make sure that such a
system is fitted and in use.
Special safety instructions
1. Safety actions
Blades that are deformed or cracked must not be
used.
If the table insert is worn, replace it.
Use only blades which are recommended by the
manufacturer and comply with EN 847-1. When
changing the blade, make sure that the cutting
width is not smaller and the saw plate not bigger
than the thickness of the splitter.
Make sure that the chosen blade is suitable for
the material that is to be cut.
If necessary, wear suitable personal protection
equipment. This could consist of:
- Ear plugs to prevent the risk of damaging your
hearing;
- A breathing mask to avoid the risk of inhaling
hazardous dust.
- Always wear gloves when handling saw blades
and rough materials. Whenever practicable, saw
blades must be carried in a container.
The following can have an influence on dust
development:
- Worn, damaged or cracked saw blades
- Recommended capacity of the vacuum
extraction system: 20 m/s
- Proper guidance of the workpiece
Blades made of high-alloy high-speed steel
(HSS) must not be used.
Keep the push stick or handle for a push block at
the machine at all times, even when you are not
using them.
2. Maintenance and service
The following conditions can have an influence
on noise impact on the operator:
- Type of sawblade (e.g. saw blades designed to
reduce noise development)
- Material of the workpiece
- The force with which the workpiece is pushed
against the sawblade
Faults on the machine or its guards, safety
devices and blade must be reported to the
person in charge as soon as they are
discovered.
3. Safe operation
Use a push stick or the handle with a push block
to feed the workpiece safely past the saw blade.
Use the splitter and set it correctly.
Use the upper blade guard and set it to the
correct position.
Do not cut rebates or grooves without fitting a
suitable guard, e.g. a tunnel-type guard, over the
saw table.
Circular saws must not be used for slotting jobs
(cutting grooves which end in the workpiece).
Use only blades whose permissible maximum
speed is not lower than the maximum spindle
speed of the bench-type circular saw and of the
material to be cut.
Use only the transport devices to move the
machine. Never use the guards for handling or
moving the machine.
While you are moving the machine it is best to
cover the top part of the blade, e.g. with the
guard.
Secure long workpieces against falling off at the
end of the cut (e.g. with a roller stand etc.)
4. Additional instructions
Give these safety regulations to all persons who
work on the machine.
Do not use this saw to cut fire wood.
Do not use this saw to cross-cut roundwood.
Caution! Hands and fingers may be injured on
the rotating saw blade.
The machine is equipped with a safety switch to
prevent it being switched on again accidentally
after a power failure.
Before you use the machine for the first time,
check that the voltage marked on the rating plate
is the same as your mains voltage.
If you need to use an extension cable, make sure
its conductor cross-section is big enough for the
saw’s power consumption. Minimum cross-
section: 1 mm
2
.
If you use a cable reel, the complete cable must
be pulled off the reel.
Check the power cable. Never use a faulty or
damaged power cable.
Operators have to be at least 18 years of age.
Trainees of at least 16 years of age are allowed
to use the machine under supervision.
Keep your workplace clean of wood scrap and
any unnecessary objects.
Persons working on the machine should not be
distracted.
Note the direction of rotation of the motor and
saw blade.
After you have switched off the motor, never
slow down the saw blade by applying pressure to
