design:
Contact with the saw blade in the uncovered
saw zone.
Reaching into the running saw blade (cut
injuries).
Kick-back of workpieces and parts of workpieces
due to improper handling.
Saw blade fracturing.
Catapulting of faulty carbide tips from the saw
blade.
Damage to hearing if essential ear-muffs are not
worn.

and safety regulations.

Safety regulations

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.
Do not use this saw to cut fire wood.
Do not use this saw to cross-cut roundwood.
Caution! Hands and fingers may be injured on
the rotating saw blade.
The machine is equipped with a safety circuit-
breaker (11) to prevent it starting up again after
a voltage 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 saw's power consumption. Minimum
cross-section: 1 mm
If you use a cable reel, the complete cable has
to be pulled off the reel.

Do not carry the machine by ist power cable.
Do not leave the saw in the rain and never use it
in damp or wet conditions.
Provide good lighting.
Never saw near combustible liquids or gases.
Wear suitable work clothes! Loose garments or
jewellery may become caught up in the rotating
saw blade.
Operators have to be at least 18 years of age.
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
connected to the power supply.
Check the power cable (9). Never use a faulty or
damaged power cable.
Keep your workplace clean of wood scrap and
any unnecessary objects.
Persons working on the machine should not be
distracted.
Note the direction of rotation of the motor and
saw blade.
After you have switched off the motor, never
slow down the saw blade (4) by applying
pressure to its side.
Fit only blades (4) which are well sharpened and
have no cracks or deformations.
Use only circular saw blades (4) made of high-
alloy high-speed steel (HSS).
The machine is to be operated only with tools
which conform with prEN 847-1: 1966.
Faulty saw blades (4) have to be replaced
immediately.
Never use saw blades which do not comply with
the data specified in this manual.
It is imperative to make sure that all devices
(2, 15) which cover the saw blade are in good
working order.
Never wedge the hinged guard hood (2) in open
position.
Never dismantle the machine's safety devices
(2, 5) or put them out of operation.
Damaged or faulty safety devices have to be
replaced immediately.
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 splitter should
never be thinner than the saw blade body or
thicker than the width of its kerf.
The guard hood (2) has to be lowered over the
workpiece for each cut.
Be sure to use a push stick (3) when slitting
narrow workpieces (smaller than 120 mm in
width).
