or other objects that come into contact with the
rotating sawblade could strike the operator at
high speed.
J
Always saw just one workpiece at a
time.
Workpieces placed one above the oth-
er or side by side may jam the sawblade or
slip with respect to one another during sawing.
J
Always use the guide fence or the
mitre guide.
This will improve the accuracy
of your cut and reduce the risk of the blade
jamming.
J
If the saw blade jams or you pause
from your work, switch off the ma-
chine and hold the workpiece still,
until the saw blade has reached a
standstill. Never remove the work-
piece while the saw blade is still ro-
tating, otherwise this may result in
kickback.
Determine and rectify the reason
for the saw blade jamming.
J
Do not use blunt, cracked, distorted
or damaged saw blades.
Saw blades
with blunt or misaligned teeth are in effect too
wide for the designed saw gap and this gives
rise to increased friction, jamming and kickback.
J
Always use a saw blade of the correct
size and with the appropriate central
fixing hole bore (e.g. star-shaped or
round).
Saw blades that do not correspond
with the attachment components on the saw will
not run true and could lead to loss of control.
J
Do not touch the saw blade immedi-
ately after sawing. Wait until it has
cooled down.
The saw blade gets hot during
sawing.
J
Never operate the electrical power
tool without the cover plate
23
Replace
the cover plate
23
if it is defective.
If
the cover plate
23
is defective it may result in
you injuring yourself on the saw blade.
Q
Original accessories / attach-
ments
J
Use only the accessories and attachments de-
tailed in the operating instructions. The use of
inserted tools or accessories other than those
recommended in the operating instructions
could lead to you suffering an injury.

Preparing the device for use
Q
Preparation
j
You will need the following materials not in-
cluded in the supplied items and accessories to
operate the saw:
- Table or workbench with a solid working
surface in order to support the device
-
Personal protective equipment:
wear this to protect your ears,
eyes, mouth, nose and hands,
and if necessary a hairnet to protect long
hair.
- Wear close-fitting clothing and non-slip
footwear
- Special dust extraction vacuum (approved
for use for dust extraction) or device for
sawdust extraction
- Narrow and thick brushes or compressed
air cleaner
- Folding rule or measuring callipers for
measurement
- Make sure that the machine and table are
supported in a safe manner. The machine
must be set up on a robust table or work-
bench with a solid working surface.
Q
Integrated safety devices
Always observe the following advice on the safety
devices fitted to the table saw. Failure to do this
could lead to serious injury or damage to property.
Riving knife

:
The riving knife
3
fitted behind the saw blade

prevents the workpiece from being picked up and
thrown by the rising teeth to strike the operator.
Whilst you are using the saw, the riving knife

must always be in place (see warning label on the
machine).
