� You will work better and more safely if you keep
your tools sharp and clean. Check the power
cable regularly and have it replaced by an
authorized specialist at the first sign of any
damage.
� Check your extension cables regularly and
replace them if damaged.

cables that are approved for outdoor use and
which are marked accordingly.

� Never use a tool with a switch that cannot be
turned on and off.
� Caution! The use of plug-in tools and accessories
other than those intended may put you at risk of
injury.
� The machine is equipped with a safety switch (4)
to prevent it being switched on again accidentally
after a power failure (in bench-type circular saw
mode).
� Never use the saw to cross-cut round timber.
� Check the power cable. Never use a faulty or

� The splitter 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 (17) has to be lowered over the
workpiece for each cut.
� Be sure to use a push stick when slitting narrow
workpieces smaller than 120 mm in width or a
push block when slitting narrow workpieces
smaller than 30 mm in width.
� IMPORTANT! Never use this saw to make
plunge cuts.
� Always stand to the side of the saw blade when
working with the saw.
� Make sure that off-cuts do not catch on the saw
blade crown or they may be catapulted into the
surrounding area.
� If the sawing gap is worn, replace the table insert.
- Pull out the power plug! -
� To prevent injury from flying sawdust and chips,
use the saw only with a suitable vacuum
extraction system or standard industrial vacuum
cleaner.
� 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.

the rotating saw blade.
� 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: 1.0 mm
