1 GENERAL SAFETY RULES

FOR ELECTRIC TOOLS

WARNING

Read and unders structions. Failure to follow all in- structions listed below may result in electrical shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

Save these Instructions!

Work Area

Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools generate sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. cause you to lose control.

Do not let the elector-tool continue to run when not attended - switch it off. Do not leave the elec- tro-tool until the tool has come to a complete stand still.

Dress properly i nDo not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can become caught in moving parts.

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the switch is off before inserting the plug. Carrying a tool with your finger on the switch or plugging in a tool that is switched on invites an accident.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable a better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used as appropriate for the conditions.

Electrical Safety

Before connecting the electro-tool, ensure that the voltage of the power source agrees with that give on the nameplate or deviates by a maximum of no more than 10%. If the voltage of the power source is not compatible with the voltage required by the electro-tool, a serious accident and damage to the electro-tool can result.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is grounded.

Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electrical shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electrical shock.

Personal Safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of in-attention while operating a power tool may result in serious personal injury.

Power Tool Handling and Usage

Use clamps or other practical means to secure and support the work piece on a stable platform.

Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

Do not use a tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

Store tools when not in use out of reach of children and other inexperienced persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of inexperienced users.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

Do not make changes to the electro-tool or use it for purposes other that those described in the "Intended Use" Section. Any modification is a misuse and can lead to serious injuries.

Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.

Service

Tool repair must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Repairs or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

When repairing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the maintenance section of this manual. The use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

General Sawing Instruction

For all cuts, it must first be ensured the saw blade at no time can come in contact with the fence, screw clamp or other machine parts. Remove possible interfering auxiliary stops or adjust them accordingly.

Do not load the machine so heavily that it comes to a standstill.

Advancing that is too fast reduces considerably the performance capability of the electro-tool and reduces the service life of the saw blade.

Use only sharp saw blades that are suitable for the material being worked.

Hand Positioning

Keep fingers, hands and arms away from the rotating saw blade. (see Figure 0)

Do not cross your arms when operating the tool arm. (see Figure P)

Special Work Pieces

When sawing curved or round work pieces, they must be especially secured against slipping. At the cutting line, no gap may exist between the work piece and the fence or saw table.

that case necessary, a special fixture must be fabricated.

Table Insert

The red table insert 8 can become worn after long usage of the electro-tool.

Replace a defective table insert.

Place the electro-tool in the working position.

Unscrew the screws 46 with the Phillips screwdriver provided. (see Figure Q)

Insert the new table insert 8 and screw in all screws 46 again.

Set the vertical bevel angle to 0^ and saw a slot in the table insert.

Then set the vertical bevel angle to 45^ and again saw into the slot. With this procedure, it is ensured that the table insert is as close as possible to the teeth of the saw blade without coming in contact with them.
