To avoid the danger of injury,
burning and dangers to your health:
J Always check the device first under no-load
conditions. If you notice any strange noises or
vibrations from the device, switch it off immedi-
ately and pull the plug out of the mains socket.
Never use the device if it shows any of these
types of problems. Take it to be checked and if
necessarily repaired by an electrician.
J Use the machine only on the materials given in
the section on proper use.
J Check that the saw motor unit Q is securely
attached.
J Use the machine only if the safety equipment is
properly positioned in its place as intended, the
machine is in good condition and has been
properly maintained.
J Always keep the mains lead away from the
working area of the machine and lead away the
mains lead from the rear.
J Look after your health – wear
ear protectors, safety glasses
and a breathing / dust mask.
J Never hold the saw at the rear. Remove sawing
waste, parts of workpieces or clamped objects
only when the machine’s mains plug is removed
from the mains socket and the saw has come to
a standstill.
J Do not cut workpieces too small. Your hand must
always be at least 10 cm away from the saw blade.
J Do not attempt to saw extremely small work-
pieces.
J Ensure that your work area is well lit
(250 - 300 Lux). Do not use the device in places
where there is a danger of fire or explosion, for
example near inflammable liquids or gases.
J If the table insert G is damaged have it replaced
immediately.
Danger! If the table insert is damaged it could
lead to the danger of small objects blocking the
saw blade by becoming trapped between the
table insert
G and the saw blade. If the table
insert is damaged have it replaced immediately
by our customer service department.
To work safely:
J Use the machine only for the purposes indicated
and within the stipulated performance limits.
Do not overload the machine.
J Keep the handle clean, dry and free of oil and
grease.
J Ensure that the automatic blade guard R is
functioning properly and can move freely. Never
clamp the automatic blade guard so that it re-
mains open.
J Always select a saw blade that is suitable for
the material you intend to cut.
J Support longer workpieces in such a way that
they are at the same level as the surface of the
saw table
T .
J Secure the machine after use with the transport
lock o .
J Use the screw clamps (b) or other clamping
devices so that an awkwardly shaped workpiece
cannot rotate or move whilst you are sawing it. The
workpiece must be firmly clamped against the
base of the table and the stop plate so that there
are no gaps between the turntable and workpiece
or between the stop plate and the workpiece.
