sharp edges.
12 Secure the workpiece
– Use the clamping devices or a vice to hold the
workpiece in place. In this manner, it is held
more securely than with your hand.
– An additional support is necessary for long
workpieces (table, trestle, etc.) in order to pre-
vent the machine from tipping over.
– Always press the workpiece firmly against
the working plate and stop in order to prevent
bouncing and twisting of the workpiece.
13 Avoid abnormal posture

always maintain your balance.

den slip could cause one or both hands to come
into contact with the saw blade.

– Check extension cables regularly and replace
them when damaged.
– Keep the handle dry, clean and free of oil and
grease.
15 Pull the plug out of the outlet
– Never remove loose splinters, chips or jammed
wood pieces from the running saw blade.
– During nonuse of the electric tool or prior to
maintenance and when replacing tools such as
saw blades, bits, milling heads.
16 Do not leave a tool key inserted
– Before switching on, make sure that keys and
adjusting tools are removed.
17 Avoid inadvertent starting

carefully inspected to ensure that they are fault
free and function as intended prior to continued
use of the electric tool.
– Check whether the moving parts function faultless-
ly and do not jam or whether parts are damaged.
All parts must be correctly mounted and all
conditions must be fulfilled to ensure faultfree
operation of the electric tool.
– The moving protective hood may not be fixed
in the open position.
– Damaged protective devices and parts must be
properly repaired or replaced by a recognised
workshop, insofar as nothing different is speci-
fied in the operating manual.
– Damaged switches must be replaced at a cus-
tomer service workshop.
– Do not use any faulty or damaged connection
cables.
– Do not use any electric tool on which the switch
cannot be switched on and off.
