pieces (table, trestle, etc.) in order to prevent the
machine from tipping over.

the working plate and stop in order to prevent
bouncing and twisting of the workpiece.
13 Avoid abnormal posture

always maintain your balance.
– Avoid awkward hand positions in which a sudden
slip could cause one or both hands to come into
contact with the saw blade.
14 Take care of your tools
– Keep cutting tools sharp and clean in order to be
able to work better and more safely.
– Follow the instructions for lubrication and for tool
replacement.

fully inspected to ensure that they are fault-free
and function as intended prior to continued use
of the electric tool.

lessly and do not jam or whether parts are dam-
aged. All parts must be correctly mounted and all
conditions must be fulfilled to ensure fault-free
operation of the electric tool.
