over the saw table.
■ Circular saws must not be used for slotting
jobs (cutting grooves which end in the
workpiece).
■ 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.
■ Use only the transport devices to move the
equipment. Never use the guards for
handling or moving the equipment.
■ While you are moving the machine it is best
to cover the top part of the blade, e.g. with
the guard.
■ Secure long workpieces against falling off at
the end of the cut (e.g. with a roller stand
etc.)
2.2.6 Additional instructions
■ Give these safety instructions 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
switch to prevent it from being switched on
again accidentally after a power failure.
■ Before you use the machine for the first
time, check that the voltage marked on the
rating plate is the same as your supply
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 mm².
■ If you use a cable reel, the complete cable
must be pulled off the reel.
■ Check the power cable. Never use a faulty
or damaged power cable.
■ 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 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 by applying
pressure to its side.
■ Only fit blades which are well sharpened
and have no cracks or deformations.
■ Never dismantle the machine’s safety
devices or render them inoperative.
■ Faulty saw blades must be replaced
immediately.
■ Never use saw blades which do not comply
with the data specified in these operating
instructions.
■ It is imperative to make sure that all devices
which cover the saw blade are in good
working order.
■ Important: It is prohibited to use this saw to
make plunge cuts.
■ Damaged or faulty safety devices have to
be replaced immediately.
■ 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 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).
■ Never cut workpieces which are too small to
hold securely in your hand.
■ It is imperative for the parallel stop to be
clamped on the right-hand side of the blade
whenever you cut narrow workpieces to
size.
■ Always stand to the side of the saw blade
when working with the saw.
■ Never load the machine so much that it cuts
out.
■ Always press the workpiece firmly against
the saw table.
■ Make sure that off-cuts do not catch on the
saw blade crown. Risk of catapulting!
■ Refit all guards and safety devices
immediately after you have completed any
repairs or maintenance work.
