ENGLISH cooking stoves, refrigerators when operating this machine. Do not use the power cable for pur- poses it is not intended for.

Risk of personal injury and crushing by moving parts! Do not operate the machine without installed guards. Always keep sufficient distance to the saw blade. Use suitable feeding aids, if necessary. Keep sufficient distance to driven components when operating the electric machine.

ait for the saw blade to come to a complete standstill before removing cutoffs, scrap, etc., from the work area. Never try to slow down or stop the saw blade by pushing the workpiece against the saw blade from the side. Ensure the machine is disconnected from power before servicing. Ensure that when switching on (e.g. after servicing) no tools or loose parts are left on or in the machine. Turn power off if the machine is not used.

Cutting hazard, even with the cutting tool at standstill! Wear gloves when changing cutting tools. Store the saw blade(s) in a safe place and in such a manner that nobody can get hurt.

Risk of kickback (workpiece is caught by the saw blade and thrown against the operator): Always work with a properly set riv- ing knife. The riving knife and the saw blade used must match: the riving knife should be thinner than the kerf, but thicker than the saw blade body. Do not jam workpieces. Make sure the saw blade is suitable for the workpiece material.

ut thin or thin-walled workpieces only with fine-toothed saw blades. Always use sharp saw blades.

in doubt, check workpiece for inclusion of foreign matter (e.g. nails or screws). Cut only workpieces that have dimensions which allow them to be safely and securely held during cut- ting.

ever 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. Remove sm all cutoffs, scrap, etc., from the work area – when doing so, the saw blade must be at a com- plete standstill.

Drawing-in/trapping hazard! Ensure that no parts of the body or clothing can be caught and drawn in by rotating components (no neck- ties, no g loves, no loose-fitting clothes; contain long hair with hair- net). Never cut any workpieces which contain

ires, or to which any of the above are attached.

Hazard generated by insuffi- cient personal protection gear!

ear hearing protection. Wear safety glasses.

ear suitable work clothes. When working outdoors wearing of non-slip shoes is recommended.

Risk of injury by inhaled wood dust! Some types of wood dust (e.g. beech, oak, ash) may cause cancer when inhaled. Work only with a suit- able dust collector attached to the saw. The dust collector must comply

ith the specifications stated in the Technical Specifications. Min imise the amount of wood dust escaping from the machine into the environs:

move wood dust deposits from the work area (do not blow away!); repair any leaks on the dust col- lector;

ep your work area well venti- lated at all times.

Hazard generated by modifica- tion of the machine or use of parts

t tested and approved by the manu- facturer! Strictly follow these instructions when assembling the machine.

se only parts approved by the manufacturer. This applies espe- cially to:

w blades (see "Available Accessories" for stock-nos.); safety devices (see “Spare parts list” for stock nos.).

o not change any parts.

Hazard generated by tool defects! Keep machine and accessories in good repair. Follow the maintenance instructions. Before every use of this machine, check for possible damage: before operating the machine all safety devices, protective guards or slightly damaged parts need to be carefully checked to see if they are fully oper- ational as specified. Check that all movi ng parts operate smoothly and without jamming. All parts must be correctly installed and meet all con- ditions necessary for a proper oper- ation of the machine.

y damaged parts or protection devices must be repaired or replaced by a qualified specialist. Have damaged switches replaced by a service centre. Do not operate machine if the switch cannot be turned ON or OFF.

ep handles free of oil and grease.

Risk of injury by noise!

Danger! Disregard of the following warnings may lead to serious personal injury or material damage.

Do not reach into the

volving saw blade.18 ENGLISH

Wear safety goggles.

Wear hearing protection.

Do not operate machine in damp or wet environment. When operated as cir- cular saw the saw blade is arrested i n the table's centre, for adjustments it is arrested in the for- ward position. Information on the nameplate:

Blade guard The blade guard (26) protects against accidental contact with the saw blade,

d from chips flying about. Always have the blade guard installed

ring operation. Riving knife The riving knife (27) prevents the work- piece from being caught by the rising teeth of the saw bl ade, and being thrown back against the operator. Always have the riving knife installed during operation. Contact protection The following components protect

ainst accidental contact with the saw blade: Tab le insert extrusion (28), Chipcase cover plate (29), Contact guard (30) These components must always be

stalled while the saw is operated. Push stick The push stick (31) serves as an exten- sion of the hand and protects against acci dental contact with the saw blade. Use push stick if distance rip fence – saw blade is 120 mm. Guide the push stick at an angle of 20 … 30 against the saw table's surface. When the push stick is not used, it can be hung to the holder provided at the base's side. Replace push stick if damaged. Radi al pull action for precision cuts. Precision adjustable bevel tilt from –1.5 to 46.5. Contin uously adjustable depth of cut 0 – 60 mm. All operating elements are located at the machine's front. Electronic speed control:

otor soft start; low main s supply load; constant sa w blade speed, irre- spective of load, provides for con- sistent cut quality; An electroni c motor protection by overcurrent detection shuts the motor off when it is locked (e.g. by a blocked saw blade). An undervoltage relay prevents the machine from starting up when power is restored after a power fail- ure. Compact desig n for quick and easy transportation.
