5 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings and follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep safety warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers to your mains- operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.

• Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy and dark areas can lead to accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive surroundings, for example, in the presence of inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders at a distance when operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control of it.

5.2 Electrical safety

Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of an electric shock.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will increase the risk of an electric shock.

• Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of an electric shock.

• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use. Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.

• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power supply protected by a residual current device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of an electric shock.POWX075751DB EN Copyright © 2022 VARO P a g e | 5 www.varo.com

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

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is needed will reduce the risk of personal injury.

• Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the plug. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools when the switch is in the on position makes accidents more likely.

• Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the power tool. A spanner or key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times. This will enable you retain control over the power tool in unexpected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from the power tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can become entangled in the moving parts.

• If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure that they are attached and used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

5.4 Power tools use and care

• Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for what you want to do. A power tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the context for which it was designed.

• Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

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

• Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people who are not familiar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any other feature that might affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, the power tool must be repaired. Many accidents are caused by using poorly maintained power tools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.

• Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work which needs to be done. Using a power tool in ways for which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous situations.

Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.

6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Always wear eye protectors.

• Never use the equipment in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.

• NEVER use the equipment when a cutting disc (and not a saw disc) has been attached.

• Before each use, check the saw blade for small cracks or damages. Replace a cracked or damaged blade immediately.POWX075751DB EN Copyright © 2022 VARO P a g e | 6 www.varo.com

• Only use saw blades that are recommended by the manufacturer and that fulfil the EN847- 1 standard.

• Always use the accessories that are recommended by this manual.

• Select the correct saw blade for the material must be sawn.

• To reduce the generation of noise, always make sure that the blade is sharp and clean.

• Only use correctly sharpened saw blades. Never exceed the maximum speed that is indicated on the saw blade.

• Before installing the saw blade, clean the axle, the flanges (especially the assembly surfaces) and the hexagonal nut. Incorrect mounting can lead to vibrations/knocking or slipping of the saw blade.

• Prevent that the saw comes into contact with metals, such as nails and screws. Search for and remove all nails, screws and other foreign materials from the workpiece, before you start to work.

• Remove spanners, cut off pieces and the other items from the saw table, before turning on the switch.

• NEVER wear gloves while working; the wearing of gloves is only recommended while cutting tools are being replaced.

• Make sure that your hands stay clear of the cutting line of the saw blade.

• NEVER stand in the cutting line of the saw blade and NEVER let anyone else stand in that position.

• Let the saw run for a few moments before inserting a workpiece. Listen for vibrations or knocking of the saw blade, which can indicate improper mounting or balancing of the blade.

• The equipment may not be used for making grooves or recesses.

• Replace the table insert when it is worn out.

• NEVER make any adjustments on the machine while it is turning. Remove the plug from the socket before making any adjustments.

• If necessary, use a push block. A push block MUST be used for longitudinal sawing of smaller workpieces, so that your hands and fingers are kept well away from the saw blade.

• Always store your push block, whenever it is not in use.

• Pay special attention to the instructions that help to reduce the hazard of KICK BACK. KICK BACK is a sudden reaction to a jammed, bent or badly aligned saw blade. KICK BACK causes the workpiece to be thrown back in the direction of the operator. KICK BACK can lead to serious injuries. KICK BACK can be avoided by keeping your saw blade sharp, by keeping the rip fence parallel to the saw blade, by maintaining the riving knife and the saw guard in good condition and in the right position, by keeping a good grip on the workpiece until you have pushed it completely past the saw blade, and by not sawing any twisted or skewed wood pieces, or pieces that do not have a straight edge for moving along the rip fence, in a longitudinal direction.

• Do not carry out any free-hand operations. Free-hand means that you use your hands for supporting the workpiece, or for leading it with your hands, instead of using the rip fence or the mitre block.

• NEVER bend over or around the saw blade. NEVER reach for a workpiece, before the saw blade has come to a complete stop.

• Avoid a sudden or too quick infeed of a workpiece. Workpieces made of hard material should be fed in as slowly as possible. Never fold or turn a workpiece while feeding it into the saw. If the saw blade jams or ceases to turn while the workpiece is being fed in, turn the equipment off immediately. Remove the plug from the socket. Remove the piece that is blocking the saw.

• NEVER try to remove sawed off chips, and never touch the saw guard, as long as the saw blade is turning.

• Remove all lose knots from the workpiece, BEFORE starting to saw.POWX075751DB EN Copyright © 2022 VARO P a g e | 7 www.varo.com

• Do not maltreat the cable. Never pull on the cable, for removing the plug from the socket. Do not expose the cable to heat, oil, water or sharp edges.

• Some types of dust that is generated while working with the saw may contain chemicals, which can cause cancer, birth defects or other genetic damages. Some examples of these substances are:

• Lead derived from paints containing lead;

• Arsenic and chrome from chemically treated wood.

• The hazard to your health from such exposures is dependent on how frequently you do this kind of work.

• Measures for reducing your exposure to such chemicals: Always work in well-ventilated surroundings and with certified safety equipment, such as dust masks that have been specially designed for filtering out microscopic particles.

• For sawing operations, connect the equipment to a dust exhaust system.

• The guard may be lifted up while positioning a workpiece, or for easier access during maintenance works. Make sure that the saw guard has been lowered and is positioned flat against the sawing table, before connecting your tool to the mains supply.
