ped or do not have a straight edge on
which they can be guided with a mi-
ter stop or along a stop rail.
A warped,
knotted or twisted workpiece is instable
and will lead to the misalignment of
the kerf with the saw blade, and jam-
ming and kickback.
i) Never saw several workpieces sta-
cked one on top of the other or one
after the other.
The saw blade could
catch one or more parts and cause kick-
back.
j) Do not start the saw if the saw is in
the workpiece.
If the saw blade is jam-
med it may lift the workpiece and cause
kickback when the saw is restarted.
k) Keep the saw blades clean, sharp and
adequately set. Never use bent saw
blades or saw blades with cracked or
broken teeth.
Saw blades which are
sharp and properly set minimize jam-
ming, blockages and kickback.
Safety information for the operation of
bench-type circular saws
a) Switch off the bench-type circular
saw and disconnect it from the mains
power supply before you remove the
table insert, change the saw blade,
adjust the splitter or the saw blade
safety guard and when the machine
is left unattended.
Precautions are
intended to help prevent accidents.
b) Never leave the bench-type circular
saw running unattended. Switch
off the power tool and do not leave
it before it has come to a complete
standstill.
A saw which is left running
unattended is an uncontrolled danger.
c) Set the saw up at a location which
is level and well-lit and where you
can stand steadily and keep your
balance. The location where you set
it must provide suffi
cient space for
you to handle your larger workpieces
easily.
Untidiness, unlit work areas and
uneven, slippery fl oors can lead to acci-
dents.
d) Remove wood sawings and sawdust
regularly from under the saw table
and/or from the dust extractor.
Accu-
mulations of sawdust are combustible
and can self-ignite.
e) Secure the bench-type circular saw.
If
the bench-type circular saw is not pro-
perly secured, it could move or topple
over.
f) Remove all adjusting tools, residual
wood, etc., from the bench-type
circular saw before you switch it on.
Distractions or possible jams can be
dangerous.
