while working with the saw.
Do not lose these safety regulations.
n
Guard against electric shock Avoid body contact
n
with earthed parts.
When equipment is not being used it should be
n
kept in a dry, closed place out of childrenʼs
reach.
Keep mounted attachments sharp and clean to
n
enable you to work well and safely.
Check the power cable regularly and have it
n
replaced by an authorized specialist at the first
sign of any damage.
Check your extension cables regularly and
n
replace them if damaged.
When working outdoors, use only extension
n
cables that are approved for outdoor use and
which are marked accordingly.
Concentrate on what you are doing. Use
n
common sense. Do not operate the tool if your
mind is not on your work.
Never use an electric tool with a switch that
n
cannot be turned on and off.
Warning! The use of plug-in tools and
n
accessories other than those intended may put
you at risk of injury.
Always pull the plug out of the power socket
n
before adjusting or servicing the machine.
Give these safety regulations to all persons who
n
work on the machine.
Do not use this saw to cut fire wood.
n
Do not use this saw to cross-cut roundwood.
n
Caution! Hands and fingers may be injured on
n
the rotating saw blade.
The machine is equipped with a safety circuit-
n
breaker (11) to prevent it starting up again after
a voltage drop.
Before you use the machine for the first time,
n
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
n
sure its conductor cross-section is big enough
for the sawʼs power consumption. Minimum
cross-section: 1 mm 2 .
If you use a cable reel, the complete cable has
n
to be pulled off the reel.
Do not carry the tool by its cable.
n
Check the power cable. Never use a faulty or
n
damaged power cable.
Do not use the cable to pull the plug out of the
n
socket. Protect the cable from heat, oil and
sharp edges.
Do not leave the saw in the rain and never use it
n
in damp or wet conditions.
Provide good lighting.
n
Do not saw near flammable liquids or gases.
n
Wear suitable work clothes! Loose garments or
n
20
jewelry may become caught up in the rotating
saw blade.
Non-slip shoes are recommended when working
n
outdoors.
Wear a hair net if you have long hair.
n
Avoid abnormal working postures.
n
Operators have to be at least 18 years of age.
n
Trainees of at least 16 years of age are allowed
to use the machine under supervision.
Keep children away from the machine when it is
n
connected to the power supply.
Keep your workplace clean of wood scrap and
n
any unnecessary objects.
An untidy work area invites accidents.
n
Do not allow other persons, especially children,
n
to touch the tool or cable. Keep them out of your
work area.
Persons working on the machine should not be
n
distracted.
Note the direction of rotation of the motor and
n
saw blade. Use only blades whose permissible
maximum speed is not lower than the maximum
spindle speed of the bench-type circular saw
and of the material to be cut.
After you have switched off the motor, never
n
slow down the saw blade (4) by applying
pressure to its side.
Fit only blades (4) which are well sharpened and
n
have no cracks or deformations.
Use only circular saw blades (4) made of high-
n
alloy high-speed steel (HSS).
Use only blades which are recommended by the
n
manufacturer, comply with EN 847-1 and come
with a warning notice. When changing the blade,
make sure that the cutting width is not smaller
and the saw plate not bigger than the thickness
of the splitter.
Faulty saw blades (4) have to be replaced
n
immediately.
Never use saw blades which do not comply with
n
the data specified in this manual.
Never wedge the hinged guard hood (2) in open
n
position. Use the upper blade guard and set it to
the correct position.
Never dismantle the machineʼs safety devices
n
(2, 5) or put them out of operation.
If the table insert is worn, replace it.
n
Use the splitter correctly and set it to the correct
n
position. 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 guard hood (2) has to be lowered over the
n
workpiece for each cut.
Be sure to use a push stick (3) when slitting
n
