Special safety instructions
1. Safety actions
• Bladesthataredeformedorcrackedmust
not be used.
• Ifthetableinsertisworn,replaceit.
• Useonlybladeswhicharerecommendedbythe
manufacturer and comply with EN 847-1. When
changing the blade, make sure that the cutting
width is not smaller and the saw plate not bigger
than the thickness of the splitter.
• Makesurethatthechosenbladeissuitableforthe
material that is to be cut.
• Ifnecessary,wearsuitablepersonalprotection
equipment. This could consist of:
- Ear plugs to prevent the risk of damaging your
hearing;
- A breathing mask to avoid the risk of inhaling
hazardous dust.
- Always wear gloves when handling saw blades
and rough materials. Whenever practicable, saw
blades must be carried in a container.
• Thefollowingcanhaveaninfluenceondust
development:
- Worn, damaged or cracked saw blades
- Recommended capacity of the vacuum extraction
system: 20 m/s
- Proper guidance of the workpiece
• Bladesmadeofhigh-alloyhigh-speedsteel
(HSS) must not be used.
• Keepthepushstickorhandleforapushblockat
the machine at all times, even when you are not
using them.
2. Maintenance and service
• Thefollowingconditionscanhaveaninfluenceon
noise impact on the operator:
- Type of sawblade (e.g. saw blades designed to
reduce noise development)
- Material of the workpiece
- The force with which the workpiece is pushed
against the sawblade
• Faultsonthemachineoritsguards,safetydevices
and blade must be reported to the person in
charge as soon as they are discovered.
3. Safe operation
• Useapushstickorthehandlewithapushblockto

position.
• Donotcutrebatesorgrooveswithoutfittinga
suitable guard, e.g. a tunnel-type guard, over the
saw table.
• Circularsawsmustnotbeusedforslottingjobs
(cutting grooves which end in the workpiece).
• Useonlybladeswhosepermissiblemaximum
speed is not lower than the maximum spindle
speed of the bench-type circular saw and of the
material to be cut.
• Useonlythetransportdevicestomovethe
machine. Never use the guards for handling or
moving the machine.
• Whileyouaremovingthemachineitisbestto
cover the top part of the blade, e.g. with the guard.
