− Wear gloves when handling saw blades and rough materials.
Whenever convenient, you must carry the saw blade in a con-
tainer.
− Make sure that all fixtures covering the saw blade are function-
ing properly.
− The saw blade must be able to rotate unimpaired.
− It is not permitted to use loose reducing rings or bushings to
reduce bore holes in circular saw blades. It is permissible to
use fitted rings, e.g. pressed into circular saw blades or held in
place by means of an adhesive bond or flanged bushings with
other tools, if they are manufactured in accordance with the
manufacturer's stipulations.
− Due to production tolerances, the reducing rings may have
to be fitted in the bore hole on the saw blade with a rubber
mallet. For this, place the area around the bore hole on the
saw blade on a solid base (e.g. wood); the teeth must be un-
obstructed when striking to prevent the saw blade from being
bent.
− Replace the reducing ring with a new one (available in a profes-
sional outlet) if it is no longer able to hold itself in the saw blade.
− Tools and tool bodies must be clamped in place to prevent
them from coming loose during operation.
− When mounting the tools, it must be ensured that they are
clamped in place on the tool collar or the clamping surface of
the tool and that the blades do not come into contact with one
another or the clamping elements.
− Fixing screws and nuts must be tightened with the corre-
sponding wrenches etc. and the torque as specified by the
manufacturer.
− It is not permitted to use striking tools or extensions for the
wrench when tightening.
− The clamping surfaces must be free of dirt, oil and water!
