Cutting hazard, even with the

cutting tool at standstill!

• Wear gloves when changing cutting tools.
• Store saw blades in such a manner that nobody can get hurt.

Risk of sawhead kickback (the

saw blade is caught in the workpiece and the sawhead kicked up all of a sudden)!

• Select a saw blade suitable for the respective material.

• Hold the handle firmly. When the saw blade enters the work piece, the kickback risk is particularly high.

• Cut thin or thin-walled workpieces only with fine-toothed saw blades.
  Always use sharp saw blades. Replace blunt saw blades at once. Increased risk of kickback when a blunt tooth gets caught by the workpiece's surface.
• Do not jam work pieces.
• If in doubt, check workpiece for inclusion of foreign matter (e.g. nails or screws).
• Never cut several workpieces at the same time – and also no bundles containing several individual pieces. Risk of personal injury if individual pieces are caught by the saw blade uncontrolled.

Drawing-in/trapping hazard!

• Wear suitable clothes. Be careful that no part of your body or your clothing can be caught and pulled into the device by rotating components (wear no neckties, no gloves, no clothing with loose-fitting sleeves; contain long hair with a hairnet).
• Never saw any workpieces connected with ropes, strings, bands, cables or wires or containing such materials.

Hazard generated by insuffi

cient personal protection gear!

• Use a hearing protection in order to avoid becoming deaf.
• Wear safety goggles.
• Wear dust mask.
• Wear suitable work clothes.
• Wear non-slip shoes.
• Use a breathing mask when doing work involving dust emission.
• Use gloves when handling saw blades and rough tools. Carry saw blades in a container.

Risk of injury by inhaled wood

dust!

• Some types of wood dust (e.g. oak, beech and ash) may cause cancer when inhaled. Work only with a suitable dust extractor attached to the saw. Make sure that it is connected and used correctly. The dust collector must comply with the specifications stated in the Technical Specifications.

• Make sure that as little as possible wood dust can escape into the environment:

• remove wood dust deposit in the work area (do not blow away!);

• fix any leakages on the dust collector;
• ensure good ventilation.

Hazard caused by modification of the machine or use of parts

not tested and approved by the manufacturer!

• Strictly follow these instructions when assembling the device.
• Use of other tools and accessories can entail danger of personal injury. Use only parts approved by the manufacturer. This applies especially for:

-saw blades (see 'Available Accessories');
- safety devices (see spare parts list).

• Do not change any parts.
• Make sure that the speed indicated on the saw blade is at least as fast as the speed indicated on the saw.
• Use only distance disks and spindlerings suitable for the purpose indicated by the manufacturer.

Hazard generated by tool de

fecs!

• Keep the machine and accessories in good repair. Keep the cutting tools sharp and clean in order to be able to work better and more securely. Adhere to the information regarding lubrication and exchange of tools.
• Prior to any use check the machine for possible damage: before operating the machine all safety devices, protective guards or slightly damaged parts need to be checked for proper function as specified. Check to see that all moving parts work properly and do not jam. Make sure that all parts and accessories are properly installed and safely secured to ensure the safe and trouble-free operation of the machine.
• Do not use damaged or warped saw blades.
• Damaged protective devices or components must be repaired or replaced expertly by an approved workshop using original spare parts; otherwise accidents may occur. Do not operate tool if the switch cannot be turned ON or OFF.
• Keep handles free of oil and grease.
• Do not use the cable to pull the plug out of the socket. Protect the cable against heat, oil and sharp edges.

Risk of injury by noise!

• Wear hearing protection.
• For reasons of noise protection do not use warped saw blades. A warped blade is exiting vibrations to an especially large extent, e which means noise.

"Lasertediation hazard!"

Laser beams can cause serious eye injuries. Never look into the laser outlet.

Do not replace the laser with a different type laser. The laser must be repaired or replaced by the manufacturer of the laser or an authorised representative.

Danger from blocking workpieces or workpiece parts!

* The values stated are emission values and as such do not necessarily constitute values which are safe for the workplace. Although there is a correlation between emission levels and environmental impact levels, whether further precautions are necessary cannot be derived from this. Factors influencing the actually present environmental impact level in the workplace include the characteristics of the work area and other noise sources, i.e. the number of machines and other neighbouring work processes. The permitted workplace values can likewise vary from country to country. This information is intended to assist the user in his estimate of hazards and risks.
