Working Advice
General Sawing Instructions
f For all cuts, it must first be ensured that the
saw blade at no time can come in contact
with the fence, screw clamps or other ma-
chine parts. Remove possibly mounted aux-
iliary stops or adjust them accordingly.
Protect the saw blade against impact and shock.
Do not subject the saw blade to lateral pressure.
Do not saw warped/bent workpieces. The work-
piece must always have a straight edge to face
against the fence.
Long workpieces must be underlaid or support-
ed at their free end.
Position of the Operator (see figure N)
f Do not stand in a line with the saw blade in
front of the machine. Always stand aside of
the saw blade. This protects your body
against possible kickback.
– Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the
rotating saw blade.
– Do not cross your arms when operating the
tool arm.
