2.3.4 Maintenance and servicing
The following conditions can have an
influence on noise impact on the operator:
- Type of saw blade (e.g. saw blades
designed to reduce noise exposure)
- Material of the workpiece
- The force with which the workpiece is
pushed against the saw blade
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.
2.3.5 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)
2.3.6 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 round
wood.
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 mm².
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.
The operating person must be over 18, or in
the case of apprentices over 16, must be
under supervision.
Keep your workplace clean of wood scrap
and any unnecessary objects.
Persons working on the machine should not
be distracted.
Pay attention to 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 its side.
Only fit blades which are well sharpened
and have no cracks or deformations.
Never dismantle the machine’s 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 recoil 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
