Electrical Safety - ATIKA DKV 400-2 Notice Originale

 Only use well sharpened saw blades, as blunt saw blades
not only increase the risk of throw-back errors, but also load
the motor.
 Insert the saw blade always in that way that the teeth face
downwards. Clamp the saw blade so hard that it can not
break.
 Take the correct working posture. The saw teeth must face
the operator and point downwards.
 Do not use any saw blades which do not correspond to the
indicated characteristics of this instruction manual.
The use of other tools and other accessories can
signify a risk of injury for you.
 The saw blade protection shall always be used. It has to be
positioned in the way that the saw blade is covered
completely except for the part necessary for the work piece
machining.
 Provide that pieces cut off are not caught by the saw blade
and thrown away.
 Do not remove splinters, chips and waste from the
hazardous area of the saw blade by hand.
 Push the work piece always hard to the work top. But avoid
cramped hand guidance since slipping off of the hand would
directly lead into the saw blade.
Pay attention that the work piece does not contain any

cables, ropes, cords or the like.
 Only cut work pieces with dimensions that allow secure
holding while sawing.
 When cutting smaller work pieces use suitable auxiliary
means to prevent injuries.
 When cutting logs, use a special device, which secures the
workpiece on both sides of the saw blade against turning.
 Switch the machine off and remove the mains plug from the
socket when
 carrying out repair works
 carrying out servicing and repair works, removal of faults
(this also includes removing clamped splinters)
 Transporting the saw
 Changing the saw blade
 leaving the saw unattended (even during short
interruptions)
 Look after your saw with care:
 Keep the tools sharp and clean to be able to work better
and more safely.
 Follow the servicing instructions and the information
about changing tools.
 Keep handles dry and free of oils and grease.
 Check the machine for possible damage:
 Before continuing to use the machine, the protective
devices must be inspected to ensure that they work
perfectly and with their intended function
 Check whether the movable parts function perfectly and
do not stick or whether the parts are damaged, All parts
must be correctly installed and fulfil all conditions to
ensure perfect operation of the saw
 Damaged guards and parts must be properly repaired or
exchanged by a recognized, specialist workshop; insofar
as nothing else is stated in the instructions for use.

 Damaged or illegible safety warning labels should be
replaced immediately.
 Do not allow any tool key to be plugged in!
 Store the unused machine in a dry locked place away from
the reach of children.

Electrical safety

 Design of the connection cable according to IEC 60245 (H
07 RN-F) with a core cross-profile section of at least
- 1.5 mm² for cable lengths up to 25 m
 Long and thin connection lines result in a potential drop.
The motor does not reach any longer its maximal power; the
function of the device is reduced.
 Plugs and coupler outlets on connection cables must be
made of rubber, non-rigid PVC or other thermoplastic
material of same mechanical stability or be covered with this
material.
 The connector of the connection cable must be splash-
proof.
Protect yourself against electric shocks. Avoid touching

earthed parts with your body (e.g. pipes, heating apparatus,
cookers, fridges etc.).
 Wind off completely the cable when using a cable drum.
 Do not use the cable for purposes for which it is not meant.
Protect the cable against heat, oil and sharp edges. Do not
use the cable to pull the plug from the socket.
 Regularly check the saw cable and if damaged, have it
renewed by a recognised skilled electrician.
 When taking the connecting line take care that it does not
disturb, is not squeezed, bended and the connection
assembly does not get wet.
 Regularly check the extension cables and replace them if
they are damaged.
 Do not use any defective connection cables.
 When working outdoors, only use extension cables
especially approved and appropriately labelled for outdoor
use.
 Do not set up any provisional electrical connections.
 Never bypass protective devices or deactivate them.
 Only hook up the machine by means of a fault-current circuit
breaker (30 mA).
The electrical connection or repairs to electrical parts of
the machine must be carried out by a certified electrician
or one of our customer service points. Local regulations –
especially regarding protective measures – must be
observed.
Repairs to other parts of the machine must be carried out
by the manufacturer or one of his customer service points.
Use only original spare parts, accessories and special
accessory parts. Accidents can arise for the user through
the use of other spare parts. The manufacturer is not
liable for any damage or injury resulting from such action.
