4. Operating the Bench Saw
After you have made yourself familiar with the
components of your Bench Saw, the machine has
been set up properly, the bucket or water trough
is filled with water, and the electrical connection
is established in accordance with the relevant
safety regulations, you may now begin with the
cutting operation. The following safety precauti-
ons must be observed by all means:
DANGER: Risk of injury through rota-
ting saw blade!
The rotating saw blade, when handled carelessly,
could result in serious injuries!
Never operate the Bench Saw with the blade
guard removed from the machine, in order to mi-
nimize the risk of serious cuts!
Attention:
Use protective equipment!
The following protective equipment is to be used
throughout the cutting operation:
Hearing protectors,
eye shield,
protective gloves.
Attention:
Use for wet cutting only!
All cuts must be performed using the wet-cutting
method, in order to avoid the formation of harm-
ful fine dusts and increase the tool life of the saw
blade.
• During the cutting operation, the user must
stand at the front side of the saw, holding the
handle of the swivel-joint cutting head with his
right hand. The workpiece must rest on the
work table and should be pressed tightly
against the side and limit stops with the left
hand.
• Always turn off the Bench Saw before you lea-
ve the machine unattended (even in case of
short breaks).
• After the cutting operation is finished, prevent
accidental restarting of the saw by pushing the
emergency stop button and unplugging the po-
wer cable.

When cutting at constant depth, the cutting head
must be pulled against the workpiece.
Before you start cutting, set the cutting head to
the desired fixed cutting depth (cf. sect. 3.7).
Then use the handle to pull the cutting head slow-
ly and uniformly along the guide rail and across
the workpiece (fig. 4.1). Push the cutting head
fully back after you finished the cut.
4.2 Notes relating to seesaw cuts
The handling of larger cutting depths can be sim-
plified using the seesaw cutting method; in this
case, the cutting head will not be set to a fixed po-
sition while performing the cut.
As you have not fixed the saw at a defined depth,
the cutting head is freely movable during seesaw
cutting operations. Hold the handle of the cutting
head with your right hand and move it to and fro
