4. General safety notes

m Warning!
When using electric tools it is imperative to take the
following basic safety precautions in order to reduce
the risk of electric shock, injury and fire.
• Take due note of all this information before and
while working with the saw.
• Do not lose these safety regulations.
• Guard against electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed parts.
• When equipment is not being used it should be
kept in a dry, closed place out of childrenʼs reach.
• Keep mounted attachments sharp and clean to en-
able you to work well and safely.
• Check the power cable regularly and have it re-
placed 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. Use common
sense when working. Do not operate the tool if your
mind is not on your work.
• Never use an electric tool with a switch that cannot
be turned on and off.
• Warning! The use of other tools and accessories
may put you at risk of injury.
• Always pull the plug out of the power socket before
adjusting or servicing the machine.
• Give these safety regulations to all persons who
work on the machine.
• Caution! Hands and fingers may be injured on the
rotating saw blade.
• The machine is equipped with a safety circuit-
breaker to prevent it starting up again after a volt-
age drop.
• Before you use the machine for the first time, 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 sure
its conductor cross-section is big enough for the
sawʼs power consumption. Minimum cross-section
1,5 mm² or 2,5 mm² for cable lengths of 20 m or
more.
• If you use a cable reel, the complete cable must
be pulled off the reel.
• Check the power cable. Never use a faulty or dam-
aged power cable.

• Do not use the cable to pull the plug out of the
socket. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
• Do not leave the saw in the rain and never use it
in damp or wet conditions.
• Provide good lighting.
• Do not saw near flammable liquids or gases.
• Wear suitable work clothes! Loose garments or
jewellery may become caught up in the rotating
saw blade.
• Non-slip shoes are recommended when working
outdoors.
• Wear a hair net if you have long hair.
• Avoid abnormal working postures.
• Operators must be at least 16 years of age.
• Keep children away from the machine when it is
connected to the power supply.
• Keep your workplace clean of wood scrap and any
unnecessary objects.
• An untidy work area invites accidents.
• Do not allow other persons, especially children,
to touch the tool or cable. Keep them out of your
work area.
• Persons working on the machine should not be
distracted.
• Note the direction of rotation of the motor and saw
blade. Use only blades whose permissible maxi-
mum speed is not lower than the maximum spindle
speed of the circular saw and of the material to
be cut.
• After you have switched off the motor, never slow
down the saw blade by applying pressure to its
side.
• Only fit blades which are well sharpened and have
no cracks or deformations.
• Do not use circular saw blades made of high-alloy
high-speed steel (HSS).
• Only use saw blades that are recommended by
the manufacturer, comply with EN 847-1 and bear
a warning note. When replacing the saw blade en-
sure that the cutting width is no smaller than the
blade thickness of the saw blade.
• Faulty saw blades must be replaced immediately.
• Never use saw blades which do not comply with
the data specified in this manual.
• Never dismantle the machineʼs safety devices or
render them inoperative.
• If the table insert is worn, replace it.
• Always stand to the side of the saw blade when
working with the saw.
• Never load the machine so much that it cuts out.
• Make sure that off-cuts do not catch on the saw
blade crown. Risk of catapulting!
• Never remove loose splinters, chips or jammed
pieces of wood when the saw blade is running,
unless a push stick is used.
