2.1 General power tool safety warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifica tions provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

2.2 Safety instructions for table saws

1) Guarding related warnings

– Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working order and be properly mounted. A guard that is loose, damaged, or is not functioning correctly must be repaired or replaced. – Always use saw blade guard and riving knife for every through–cutting operation. For through-cutting operations where the saw blade cuts completely through the thickness of the workpiece, the guard and other safety devices help reduce the risk of injury. – After completing a non-through cut such as rabbeting, resawing, or dadoing, re store the riving knife to the extended-up position. With the riving knife in the exten ded-up position, reattach the blade guard. The guard and riving knife help to reduce the risk of injury. – Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the guard, riving knife or the workpiece before the switch is turned on. Inadvertent English 24contact of these items with the saw blade could cause a hazardous condition. – Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, po sitioning and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in reducing the likelihood of kickback. – For the spacer wedge to be effective, it must be located in the sawing gap. For cuts in workpieces that are too short to allow the spacer wedge to engage, the spacer wedge is rendered ineffective. Un der these conditions, a kickback cannot be prevented by the spacer wedge. – Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife. For the riving knife to func tion properly, the saw blade diameter must match the appropriate riving knife and the body of the saw blade must be thinner than the thickness of the riving knife and the cutting width of the saw blade must be wid er than the thickness of the riving knife.

2) Cutting procedures warnings

– DANGER: Never place your fingers or hands in the vicinity or in line with the saw blade. A moment of inattention or a slip could direct your hand towards the saw blade and result in serious personal injury. – Feed the workpiece into the saw blade on ly against the direction of rotation. Feed ing the workpiece in the same direction that the saw blade is rotating above the table may result in the workpiece, and your hand, being pulled into the saw blade. – Never use the mitre gauge to feed the workpiece when ripping and do not use the rip fence as a length stop when cross cutting with the mitre gauge. Guiding the workpiece with the rip fence and the mitre gauge at the same time increases the like lihood of saw blade binding and kickback. – When ripping, always keep the workpiece in full contact with the fence and always apply the workpiece feeding force be tween the fence and the saw blade. Use a push stick when the distance between the fence and the saw blade is less than 150mm, and use a push block when this distance is less than 50mm. “Work help ing” devices will keep your hand at a safe distance from the saw blade. – Use only the push stick provided by the manufacturer or constructed in accord ance with the instructions. This push stick provides sufficient distance of the hand from the saw blade. – Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A damaged or cut push stick may break caus ing your hand to slip into the saw blade. – Do not perform any operation “freehand”. Always use either the rip fence or the mi tre gauge to position and guide the work piece. “Freehand” means using your hands to support or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence or mitre gauge. Freehand sawing leads to misalignment, binding and kickback. – Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade. Reaching for a workpiece may lead to accidental contact with the moving saw blade. – Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the rear and/or sides of the saw table for long and/or wide workpieces to keep them lev el. A long and/or wide workpiece has a ten dency to pivot on the table’s edge, causing loss of control, saw blade binding and kick back. – Feed the workpiece evenly. Do not bend, twist or move the workpiece to the side. If the saw blade jams, switch the power tool off immediately, disconnect the mains plug and rectify the cause of the jam. The jamming of the saw blade by the workpiece can lead to kickbacks or engine jams. – Do not remove pieces of cut-off material while the saw is running. The material may become trapped between the fence or in side the saw blade guard and the saw blade pulling your fingers into the saw blade. Turn the saw off and wait until the saw blade stops before removing material. – Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the table top when ripping workpieces less than 2 mm thick. A thin workpiece may wedge under the rip fence and create a kickback.

3) Kickback causes and related warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece due to a pinched, jammed saw blade or mis aligned line of cut in the workpiece with respect to the saw blade or when a part of the work piece binds between the saw blade and the rip fence or other fixed object. Most frequently during kickback, the workpiece is lifted from the table by the rear portion of the English 25saw blade and is propelled towards the opera tor. Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or in correct operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below. – Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always position your body on the same side of the saw blade as the fence. Kickback may propel the workpiece at high velocity towards anyone standing in front and in line with the saw blade. – Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to pull or to support the workpiece. Accidental contact with the saw blade may occur or kickback may drag your fingers into the saw blade. – Never hold and press the workpiece that is being cut off against the rotating saw blade. Pressing the workpiece being cut off against the saw blade will create a binding condition and kickback. – Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece against the saw blade and create kickback. – Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece against the table and fence when making non-through cuts such as rabbeting, dado ing or resawing cuts. A featherboard helps to control the workpiece in the event of a kickback. – Use extra caution when making a cut into blind areas of assembled workpieces. The protruding saw blade may cut objects that can cause kickback. – Support large panels to minimise the risk of saw blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Support(s) must be placed under all por tions of the panel overhanging the table top. – Use extra caution when cutting a work piece that is twisted, knotted, warped or does not have a straight edge to guide it with a mitre gauge or along the fence. A warped, knotted, or twisted workpiece is unstable and causes misalignment of the kerf with the saw blade, binding and kick back. – Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked vertically or horizontally. The saw blade could pick up one or more pieces and cause kickback. – When restarting the saw with the saw blade in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged in the material. If the saw blade binds, it may lift up the workpiece and cause kickback when the saw is restar ted. – Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sufficient set. Never use warped saw blades or saw blades with cracked or bro ken teeth. Sharp and properly set saw blades minimise binding, stalling and kick back.

4) Table saw operating procedure warnings

– Turn off the table saw and disconnect the battery pack when removing the table in sert, changing the saw blade or making adjustments to the riving knife or saw blade guard, and when the machine is left unattended. Precautionary measures will avoid accidents. – Never leave the table saw running unat tended. Turn it off and don’t leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop. An unat tended running saw is an uncontrolled haz ard. – Locate the table saw in a well-lit and level area where you can maintain good footing and balance. It should be installed in an area that provides enough room to easily handle the size of your workpiece. Cram ped, dark areas, and uneven slippery floors invite accidents. – Frequently clean and remove sawdust from under the saw table and/or the dust collection device. Accumulated sawdust is combustible and may self-ignite. – The table saw must be secured. A table saw that is not properly secured may move or tip over. – Remove tools, wood scraps, etc. from the table before the table saw is turned on. Distraction or a potential jam can be dan gerous. – Always use saw blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of ar bour holes. Saw blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run off-centre, causing loss of control. – Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade mounting means such as flanges, saw blade washers, bolts or nuts. These mounting means were specially designed English 26for your saw, for safe operation and opti mum performance. – Never stand on the table saw, do not use it as a stepping stool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted. – Make sure that the saw blade is instal led to rotate in the proper direction. Do not use grinding wheels, wire brushes, or abrasive wheels on a table saw. Improper saw blade installation or use of accesso ries not recommended may cause serious injury.

2.3 Safety information for the saw blade

Usage – The tool must be suitable for the material you are working on. – The maximum speed specified on the saw blade must not be exceeded and the speed range must be adhered to. – Proceed with extreme care when unpack ing, packing and handling the tool (e.g. in stalling it in the machine). There is a risk of injury from extremely sharp cutting edges! – When handling the tool, wearing safety gloves provides a more secure hold of the tool and further reduces the risk of injury. – Circular saw blades with cracked bodies must be replaced. Repair is not permitted. – WARNING! Do not use tools with visible cracks or blunt or damaged cutting edges. Installation and mounting – When assembling the tools, it must be en sured that the clamping takes place on the tool hub or the clamping surface of the tool, and that the cutting edges do not come into contact with other components. – Tighten retaining screws and nuts using suitable keys, etc. and to the torque speci fied by the manufacturer. – The clamping surfaces must be cleaned to remove contamination, grease, oil and wa ter. – Clamping screws must be tightened ac cording to the manufacturer's instructions. – Do not lengthen the key or tighten by hitting with a hammer. – Only securely installed rings, e.g. rings that have been pressed in or those that are held in position by an adhesive bond, may be used to adjust the hole diameter of circular saw blades to the spindle diameter of the machine. The use of loose rings is not per mitted. – Only transport the tool in suitable packag ing – risk of injury! – Only use the machine if all safety devices are in their correct positions, the machine is in good condition and has been well maintained.

To do this, the rail is inserted either upright or flat. English 32The low stopper is used to prevent a collision with the saw blade protective cover, e.g. in the case of mitre cuts with a saw blade swivelled to 45°. Cross stop and angle stop: ► Slide the preset profile setting rail into the groove in the table and tighten the screw[3-2]. ► Loosen the screw[3-4] and lift the fixing pin, adjust to the desired angle on the scale (the fixing pin will click into place in the most common angle settings) and then re tighten the screw. ► Loosen the screw[3-5] and adjust the rail so that it does not reach into the cutting plane, and then tighten the screw. Make sure that all rotary knobs on the fence are tightened before starting work. The fence should always be used in a fixed position and must not be used to push the workpiece. Fold the preset profile setting rail into the zero position and place it in the accessory hold er[2-6] when not in use [2].

7.7 Scale for cutting width

The two scales[1-3] indicate the cutting width of rip cuts. If needed, the scales can be readjusted after loosening the screws[1-4].

7.8 Installing the splinter guard

The splinter guard[10-2] prevents splinters on the lower cutting edge of the workpiece. The splinter guard can be used at all mitre angles, but a separate splinter guard must be installed and cut into for each angle: ► Set the saw blade to the minimum cutting height. ► Open the lock[1-5] and remove the table insert[1-6] upwards. ► Open the lock[6-8] and swivel the saw blade cover[6-7] downwards. This auto matically locks the tool spindle ► Push the splinter guard onto the side of the retainer[10-3] as far as it will go. ► Swivel the saw blade cover upwards and close the lock. ► Insert the table insert with the rear edge[9] first and close the lock. ► Switch on the power tool and slowly move the saw blade up to the maximum cutting height – this cuts into the splinter guard. The raised section[10-1] of the splinter guard should protrude slightly (byapprox.0.3mm) over the edge of the table so that it functions more effectively. The height of the retainer can also be adjusted after loosening the two screws[10-4].

7.9 Adjusting the protective cover

To adjust the stops, the protective cover can be locked in place in the upper position. ► Lock the lateral splinter guard[16-3] with the catch[16-2] in the upper position. ► Lift the protective cover into the top posi tion[16-4] and tighten the screw[16-1] ► After adjusting the stops, loosen the screw again and unhook the side splinter guard. Note: The protective cover and the splinter guard must lie freely on the plate[17]. ► When not in use, attach the protective cover to the accessory holder[2-6].

7.10 Smooth start-up

The electronically controlled smooth start-up function ensures that the power tool starts up smoothly.

7.11 Speed regulator

You can continuously adjust the speed within the speed range using the adjusting wheel. This enables you to optimise the speed to suit the respective material. Please also note the speci fications on the grinding tools.

7.12 Overload safety device

The power supply is restricted if the power tool is overloaded to extremes. The power supply is disconnected completely if the motor jams for some time. You will need to remove the load and/or switch off the power tool before you can use it again.

7.13 Temperature cut-out

The power supply is restricted and the speed reduced if the motor exceeds a certain temper ature. The power tool continues operating at re duced power to allow the ventilator to cool the motor quickly. The power tool starts up again automatically once the motor has cooled suffi ciently.

The saw comes with an electronic brake. The saw blade is stopped electronically within ap proximately two seconds of switching off the machine.

7.15 Restart protection

The built-in restart protection prevents the power tool from starting up again automatically if the power is disconnected during continuous English 33use. To put the power tool back into operation, it must first be switched off and then on again. 8 Working with the electric power tool

When working on the machine, observe all of the safety warnings that are listed at the start as well as the following rules: – Ensure that the upper protective cov er[6-4] and the splinter guard[6-5] are resting on the workpiece and move freely. – Do not work with oversized and overly heavy workpieces that could damage the tool. The protective cover determines the maximum height of the workpiece. – For safety reasons, NEVER work without an upper protective cover[6-4] fitted (except for concealed cuts). – Perform measurement settings when the power tool is at a standstill.

8.2 Use as a table saw[1] [3]

Rip cuts ► Place the saw blade on the centre of the table, see section6.3. ► Use the preset profile setting rail as a lengthwise ruler to guide the workpiece. ► The cutting width can be adjusted using the scales. ► Guide the workpiece by hand. Keep your arms away from the saw blade's centre line. ► Use the push stick[2-5] to guide the work piece past the saw blade. ► Place the push stick in the accessory hold er[2-6] when not in use. Angled cuts ► For angled cuts, adjust the mitre angle of the saw blade, see section7.3. Concealed cuts If the protective cover has been removed, the spacer wedge can be adjusted by firmly pulling by two locking positions. The spacer wedge is used in the upper locking position for all appli cations, except for concealed cuts. Before starting work ► Remove the upper protective cover[6-4]. ► Move the spacer wedge[7-3] into the lower locking position by pushing it down firmly. Creating concealed cuts ► When executing concealed cuts, ensure that the tool is guided precisely. To do this, push the workpiece down firmly onto the table. Select the cutting sequence so that the workpiece side already cut out is not the stop side (risk of kickback). Rebating ► Set the cutting depth and stop of the first side of the rebate. ► Carry out the first saw cut of the rebate by guiding the workpiece by hand. Keep your arms away from the saw blade's centre line. ► Use the push stick[2-5] to guide the work piece past the saw blade. ► Turn the workpiece. ► Set the cutting depth and stop of the second side of the rebate. ► Make the second saw cut of the rebate. ► Use the push stick to guide the workpiece past the saw blade. Rebating on workpieces ≤12mm with a circu lar trimming saw (with the saw blade locked) ► Use the stop as a cross stop. ► Follow the instructions for cross cuts, see section8.3. NEVER use the stop as a stopper when rebating on the short side. Grooving ► Adjust the cutting depth on the saw blade. ► Use the stop as a guide. ► Guide the workpiece by hand. Keep your arms away from the saw blade's centre line. ► Use the push stick[2-5] to guide the work piece past the saw blade. ► Repeat the process until the required grooving depth is achieved. After finishing work ► After making concealed cuts, return the spacer wedge[7-3] to the upper position and attach the protective cover[6-4]. English 34Complicated concealed cut processes, ► e.g. plunge sawing, resawing, groove cut ting, profile routing and fluting, are not per mitted. Featherboard NOTICE ► Use a featherboard for concealed cuts. Fit the featherboard on the stop and the table so that the featherboard pushes the work piece down firmly onto the plate during cutting. Featherboards are not included in the scope of delivery. Rip cuts with inclination ► Only use the left stop when making longitu dinal cuts at an angle in material with an edge length of≤150mm. This creates more space between the stop and the saw blade.

8.3 Use as a circular trimming saw[3]

Cross cuts ► Place the saw blade in the back table posi tion, see section6.3. ► Use the preset profile setting rail as a crosswise or angle ruler to position the workpiece and hold it in place. Fastening clamps (not included in delivery) can be in serted into the grooves[3-8] to secure the workpiece. To perform the saw cut, swivel the handle[3-10] downwards and use it to pull the saw unit forwards. ► After completing the cut, move the saw unit right back to its starting position before the workpiece can be removed from the preset profile setting rail. Angled cuts ► For angled cuts, adjust the mitre angle of the saw blade, see section7.3. The preset profile setting rail is on the right-hand side of the table. ► For mitre cuts, adjust the preset profile set ting rail, see section7.6.

8.4 Workpiece holder

► Place the push stick[2-5] in the accessory holder[2-6] when not in use. 9 Transportation

CAUTION Risk of injury! The power tool may slip out of your hands when you are carrying it. ► Always carry the power tool with both hands, using the gripping surfaces[2-4] provided on both sides of the power tool. ► Click the saw unit into place in the zero po sition. ► Remove all attachments from the saw and wind the cable around the cable holder. ► Fold in the legs. For transport over short distances, two of the power tool's leg ends are equipped with trans port rollers. ► Hold the tool in the handle area[2-4] and pull it to the desired position. 10 Service and maintenance
