The machine is equipped with a safety circuit-
breaker (11) to prevent it starting up again after a
voltage drop.
Before you use the machine for the first time,
check that the voltage marked on the rating plate
is the same as your mains voltage.
If you need to use an extension cable, make sure
its conductor cross-section is big enough for the
saw's power consumption. Minimum cross-
section: 1 mm 2 .
If you use a cable reel, the complete cable has to
be pulled off the reel.
Do not carry the tool by its cable.
Check the power cable. Never use a faulty or
damaged power cable.
Do not use the cable to remove the plug from the
socket-outlet. Protect the cable from heat, oil and
sharp edges.
Do not leave the saw in the rain and never use it
in damp or wet conditions.

Keep your workplace clean of wood scrap and
any unnecessary objects.
Persons working on the machine should not be
distracted.
Note the direction of rotation of the motor and
saw blade.
After you have switched off the motor, never
slow down the saw blade (4) by applying
pressure to its side.
Fit only blades (4) which are well sharpened and
have no cracks or deformations.
Do not use circular saw blades (4) made of high-
alloy high-speed steel (HSS).
Never dismantle the machine's safety devices (2,
5) or put them out of operation.
Only use EN 847-1-conform saw blades
recommended by the manufacturer which bear a
warning that care should be taken when chang-
ing the blade to check that the cutting width is
not less than and the thickest part of the blade is
not thicker than the thickness of the splitting
wedge.
Faulty saw blades (4) have to be replaced
immediately.
Never use saw blades which do not comply with
the data specified in this manual.
It is imperative to make sure that all devices (2,
15) which cover the saw blade are in good
working order.
Replace worn bench inserts.
Caution! It is prohibited to use this saw to make
plunge cuts.
Damaged or faulty safety devices have to be
replaced immediately.
The splitter (5) is an important safety device. Not
only does it guide the workpiece, it also prevents
the kerf closing behind the blade so that there is
no kickback from the workpiece. Note the
thickness of the splitter. The splitter should never
be thinner than the saw blade body or thicker
than the width of its kerf.
The guard hood (2) has to be lowered over the
workpiece for each cut.
Be sure to use a push stick (3) when slitting
narrow workpieces (smaller than 120 mm in
width). The push stick, or handle, for a push
block should always be kept on the machine
when not in use.
Never cut workpieces which are too small to hold
securely in your hand.
It is imperative for the parallel stop to be clamped
on the right-hand side of the blade whenever you
cut narrow workpieces to size.
Always stand to the side of the saw blade when
working with the saw.
Never load the machine so much that it cuts out.
