•
Never use saw blades which do not comply with the data specified in
these operating instructions.
•
It is imperative to make sure that all devices which cover the saw bla-
de 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 kickback 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 narrow workpieces (smaller
than 120 mm in width).
•
Never cut workpieces which are too small to hold securely in your
hand.
•
It is imperative for the parallel stop to be clamped on the right-hand
side of the blade whenever you cut narrow workpieces to size.
•
Always stand to the side of the saw blade when working with the
saw.
•
Never load the machine so much that it cuts out.
•
Always press the workpiece firmly against the saw table.
•
Make sure that off-cuts do not catch on the saw blade crown. Risk of
catapulting!
•
Refit all guards and safety devices immediately after you have com-
pleted any repairs or maintenance work.
•
Be sure to observe the safety information and operating and mainte-
nance instructions issued by the manufacturer, as well as the dimen-
sions listed in the Technical Data.
•
It is imperative to observe the accident prevention regulations in
force in your area as well as all other generally recognised rules of
safety.
•
Note the information published by your professional associations.
•
Connect up the dust extraction system on all jobs. The operator has
to be informed about the conditions with an influence on dust deve-
lopment, e.g. the type of material being processed (source and coll-
ection of the dust), the significance of local separation arrangements,
and the correct setting of hoods, baffle plates and guides.
