Danger! Risk of electric shock!

o not expose machine to rain.

o not operate machine in damp or wet environment. Prevent body contact with earthed objects such as radiators, pipes, 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!

o 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 work piece 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 bla de(s) in a safe place and in such a manner that nobody can get hurt.

Risk of kickback (work piece 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 work pieces. Make sure the saw blade is suitable for the work piece material.

ut thin or thin-walled work pieces only with fine-toothed saw blades.

ways use sharp saw blades. If in doubt, check work piece for inclusion of foreign matter (e.g. nails or screws). Cut only work pieces that have dimensions which allow them to be safely and securely held during cut- ting. Never cut several work pieces 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 to cut any work pieces 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.

hen working outdoors wearing of non-slip shoes is recommended.

Risk of injury by inhaled wood dust! Som e 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. Minimize the amount of wood dust escaping from the machine into the environs: remove 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 not tested and approved by the manu- facturer! Strictly follow these instructions when assembling the machine. Use only parts approved by the manufacturer. This applies espe- cially to:

• 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 neces- sary 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. Also, permissible workplace values may vary from country to country. This information is intended to assist the user in his estimate of hazards and risks.27 FRANÇAIS
