determined by the intended purpose.
Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety information" and
the "Intended usage" as well as the whole of the operating
instructions are observed.
Observing these instructions, and taking proper care, will
reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment.
 Risk of injury to fingers and hands caused by the tool (saw
blade) or workpiece (e.g. when changing the saw blade).
 Injury from parts of the workpiece spinning off.
 Throwback of the workpiece or workpiece parts.
 Breakage and spinning off from the saw blade.
 Risk from electricity, by using non-standard electrical
connections.
 Touching live parts of opened electrical components.
 Impairment of hearing when working on the machine for
longer periods of time without ear protection.
 Emission of harmful timber dust when operating without
exhaust suction.
In addition, in spite of all the precautionary measures taken,
non-obvious residual risks can still exist.
