Follow all these instructions before and while you
are working with the saw.
Keep these instructions in a safe place.
Avoid body contact with earthed components.
When equipment is not being used it should be
kept in a dry, closed place out of children's reach.
You will work better and more safely if you keep
your tools sharp and clean. Check the power
cable regularly and have it replaced by an
authorized specialist at the first sign of any
damage.
Check your extension cables regularly and
replace them if damaged.
When working outdoors, use only extension
cables that are approved for outdoor use and
which are marked accordingly.
Concentrate on what you are doing. Take a
sensible attitude to your work. Never use the tool
when you are tired.
Never use a tool with a switch that cannot be
turned on and off.
Caution! The use of plug-in tools and accessories
other than those intended may put you at risk of
injury.
The machine is equipped with a safety switch (4)
to prevent it being switched on again accidentally
after a power failure (in bench-type circular saw
mode).
Never use the saw to cross-cut round timber.
Check the power cable. Never use a faulty or
damaged power cable.
Do not use the cable to pull the plug out of the
socket-outlet. Protect the cable from heat, oil and
sharp edges.
We recommend that you wear non-slip shoes
when working outdoors.
Keep long hair in a hair net.
Avoid abnormal working postures.
An untidy work area may result in accidents.
Do not allow other persons, particularly children,
to touch the tool or the power cable. Keep them
away from your workplace.
The splitter 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 (17) has to be lowered over the
workpiece for each cut.
Be sure to use a push stick when slitting narrow
workpieces smaller than 120 mm in width or a
push block when slitting narrow workpieces
smaller than 30 mm in width.
