Working with the power tool

WARNING
Flying tool parts/workpiece parts
Risk of injury
► Wear protective goggles.
► Ensure that no other persons are close to
the machine while it is being used.
► Always clamp workpieces tightly.
► The clamps must be fully laid out.
WARNING
The pendulum guard does not close
Risk of injury
► Stop the sawing process.
► Unplug the mains cable and remove the
wood waste. If the pendulum guard is dam­
aged, replace it.
WARNING
Risk of injury
► Observe the following instructions:
– Correct working position:
– At the front on the side of the operator;
– Head-on to the saw;
– Beside the line of cut.
– During operation, always hold the power
tool tightly by the handle [1–1] in your op­
erating hand. Always keep your free hand
outside of the hazardous area.
– Always use and fix extension table [1.8]
during operation (see chapter 8.5).
– Only guide the power tool towards the
workpiece when it is switched on.
– Adjust the feed speed in order to prevent
the machine from overloading and to pre­
vent the plastic from melting if you are cut­
ting plastics.
– Do not work on the power tool if its elec­
tronics are defective as this may lead to ex­
cessive speeds. You can tell if the electron­
ics are defective if there is no smooth start-
up, if it is not possible to regulate the speed
and in the event of generation of smoke or
the smell of burning from the machine.

– Before beginning work, ensure that the saw
blade cannot touch the stop rulers, work­
piece clamp, fastening clamps or other ma­
chine parts.
Always disconnect the mains plug from
the socket when the power tool is not in
use. This optimises the service life of the
electronics.
