Working Advice

General Sawing Instructions
For all cuts, it must first be ensured that the
saw blade at no time can come in contact
with the stops or other machine parts.
Protect the saw blade against impact and shock.
Do not subject the saw blade to lateral pressure.
The riving knife must be in alignment with the
saw blade to avoid jamming of the workpiece.
Do not saw warped/bent workpieces. The work-
piece must always have a straight edge to face
against the parallel guide.
Always keep/store the hold-down stick with the
power tool.
Do not use the power tool for joining, grooving
or cutting slots.
Marking the Cutting Line
– Mark the saw blade width on the round yel-
low sticker 7.
This allows for exact positioning of the work-
piece for sawing, without having to open the
blade guard.
Hand Positioning
Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the ro-
tating saw blade.
Observe the following instructions:
– Hold the workpiece securely with both hands
and press it firmly against the saw table, ex-
pecially when working without the fence.
(see figure H)
– When sawing narrow workpieces and bevel
angles, always use the supplied hold-down
stick 22 and the auxiliary parallel fence 18.
