fully.
• Connect the machine to a suction unit when working in
closed rooms. A suction device which conforms with
commercial regulations must be used for suction in com-
mercial areas.
• Loosen the sawband when the machine is not in opera-
tion (e.g. after finishing work). Attach a notice on the ten-
sion of the saw band to the machine for the next user.
• Collect unused sawbands and store them safely in a dry
place. Check for faults (teeth, cracks) before use. Do not
use faulty sawbands!
• Wear suitable gloves when handling sawbands.
• All protective and safety devices must be securely mount-
ed on the machine before beginning work.
• Never clean the sawband or the sawband guide with a
hand-held brush or scraper while the sawband is running.
Resin-covered sawbands impair working safety and must
be cleaned regularly.
• For your own protection, wear protective glasses and
hearing protection. Wear a hairnet if you have long hair.
Roll up loose sleeves over the elbows.
• Always position the sawband guide as near the workpiece
as possible when working.
• Insure sufficient lighting in the work area and around the
machine.
• Always use the fence for straight cuts to keep the work-
piece from tipping or slipping away.
• When working on narrow workpieces with manual feed,
use the push stick.
• For diagonal cuts, place the saw bench in the appropriate
position and guide the workpiece on the fence.
• To cut dove-tails and dove-tailed tenons or wedges swing
the saw bench to the plus or minus position. Insure safe
workpiece guidance.
• For arced and irregular cuts, push the workpiece even-
ly using both hands with the fingers together. Hold the
workpiece with your hands on a safe area.
• Use a pattern for repeated arced or irregular cuts.
• Insure that the workpiece does not roll when cutting
round pieces.
• Use the traverse cutting gauge special accessory for
safety when making traverse cuts.
• To safely cut round plates, use the circular cutting unit
special accessory.
