To ensure high-quality and safe operation, the cutting part of the working tool must be sharp
and clean. Follow the instructions to replace the accessories.
8.1 Workplace requirements
 The workplace should be determined taking into account the location of the workpieces ,
direction of their movement, and junkyard location;
 Space around the entire perimeter of the working tables should be empty. Working
clearance is necessary for direction, infeeding and unloading of workpieces taking into
account their overall dimensions and weight;
 The floor must not be slippery or have any obstacles;
 Keep the machine and workplace clean;
 The workplace should be well lit by natural sunlight or artificial light. Using fluorescent
lighting causes stroboscopic effect that may lead to incorrect identification of rotating
direction of moving machine parts;
 Ensure proper ventilation when working indoors, for example, with the help of air vent or
by proving air supply;
 Do not work in the rooms with explosive or chemical environments;
 Comply with safety regulations when working indoors. A fire extinguisher is a must.
8.2 Additional safety measures
 Keep children and unnecessary persons away from a working area;
 Ensure you always have a firm and safe footing. Do not attempt to reach the object that
are out of distance;
 When working avoid contact with grounded devices (for example: pipelines, electric
cookers, refrigerators );
 Do not stand in the area of the plane of saw blades. Keep to the left or to the right side
from them;
 Please attend, mind what you do, do not use the machine when tired;
 Do not use damaged or distorted saw blades and knives;
 Use the saw blades, knives, cutters and equipment, recommended by the manufacturer;
 Notice that the choice of the saw blade depends on the work material;
 Use the splitting knife and adjust it in the appropriate manner;
 Use head guard (casing) of the saw blade and adjust its location appropriately;
 Do not overload the machine;

Do not process too small and too short workpieces;
 Replace the plastic insert of the saw blade when it is worn out.
8.3 Operational hazards
The following types of hazards may appear even if the machine operates properly:
 Risk of injury from a flown away workpiece;
 Risk of injury from breaking parts of the workpiece;
 Risk of noise and dust;
 Danger of electric shock due to improper laying of the power cord.
To reduce the noise impact, when operating at the machine, always wear personal protection
equipment to prevent hearing damage (earplugs). It is recommended to use a dust mask to
protect the respiratory tract from dust particles.
