 Always wear eye protectors.
 Never use the equipment in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
 NEVER use the equipment when a cutting disc (and not a saw disc) has been attached.
 Before each use, check the saw blade for small cracks or damages. Replace a cracked or
damaged blade immediately.
 Never use saw blades made of high-speed steel (HSS).
 Only use saw blades that are recommended by the manufacturer and that fulfil the EN847-
1 standard. Also make sure the riving knife is not thicker than the width of the saw cut, and
that it is not thinner than the body of the saw blade.
 Always use the accessories that are recommended by this manual.
 Select the correct saw blade for the material must be sawn.
 To reduce the generation of noise, always make sure that the blade is sharp and clean.
 Only use correctly sharpened saw blades. Never exceed the maximum speed that is
indicated on the saw blade.
 Before installing the saw blade, clean the axle, the flanges (especially the assembly
surfaces) and the hexagonal nut. Incorrect mounting can lead to vibrations/knocking or
slipping of the saw blade.
 Wherever possible, use the saw guard and the riving knife with every type of application,
also when sawing material in two. Always mount the saw guard according to the
instructions in this manual. Cutting operations are those where the saw blade cuts
completely through the workpiece, such as for instance when doing longitudinal cuts or
shortening workpieces. NEVER use the equipment with a defective saw guard, and never
tie up the saw guard with a rope or cord. Every irregularity in the operation of the saw
guard must be immediately corrected.
 Immediately replace the saw guard and the riving knife, after a process has been
completed that required their removal.
 Prevent that the saw comes into contact with metals, such as nails and screws. Search for
and remove all nails, screws and other foreign materials from the workpiece, before you
start to work.
 Remove spanners, cut off pieces and the other items from the saw table, before turning on
the switch.
 NEVER wear gloves while working; the wearing of gloves is only recommended while
cutting tools are being replaced.
 Make sure that your hands stay clear of the cutting line of the saw blade.
 NEVER stand in the cutting line of the saw blade and NEVER let anyone else stand in that
position.
 Make sure that the saw blade does not touch the riving knife or the workpiece, before you
turn on the switch.
