2. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 General safety precautions:
•
IMPORTANT! According to the CE-regulations, rollertables must always be used.
•
IMPORTANT! Note that the sawblade moves up and forward the entire length of the
slot. This is the essence of the MaxiCut concept.
• Ensure that there is adequate room around the saw.
• For best stability, place saw on a level and even surface.
• Keep sawtable, sawblade cover and area around saw free for off cuts and excessive
sawdust.
• The working area should be well ventilated and a sawdust extractor or collector must be
used.
• Use good lighting and adequate hearing and eye sight protection.
• When sawing longer pieces use the extra outfeed table or suitable support.
• Always lower top guard when sawing.
• Use push sticks when ripping small materials and when the distance between sawblade
and rip fence is less than
120 mm (approx. 5”).
• When tilting the sawblade, the blade must always be lowered under the table and the
motor should be switched off.
• Lower sawblade when not in use.
• Always use riving knife.
• Disconnect main cable when changing sawblade or performing other maintenance work.
• Use only carbide-tipped sawblade which is properly sharpened. Never use a cracked or
deformed sawblade.
• The saw is equipped with an automatic motor-brake. If the saw continues to rotate for
more than 10 seconds after the off-button has been pressed, the braking mechanism
must be replaced.
• Ensure that the sawblade cover is closed after sawblade has been cleaned and/or
changed or if riving knife has been changed or adjusted.
• Worn aluminium edging strips in turntable should be replaced.
Dust and noise:
Dust and noise measurements have been performed for work with the materials and saw
blades for which the machine is intended (see section 1 Safety Instructions).
Measurement uncertainty is related to local conditions and can vary with the saw blade/
transmission characteristics. Follow the maintenance instructions (see Section 6 Mainte
nance/Repair).
Ear protection must be used, and a dust mask is recommended.
For indoor use, the machine must be connected to an extractor
that provides a minimum air speed of 30 m/s i.e. 1.8 kPa.
