ENGLISH
• Always wear gloves for handling saw blades and rough
material. Saw blades should be carried in a holder
whereverpracticable.
Residual risks
The following risks are inherent to the use of saws:
• injuries caused by touching the rotating parts
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
• Impairment ofhearing.
• Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the rotating
sawblade.
• Risk of injury when changing the saw blade with
unprotectedhands.
• Risk of squeezing fingers when opening theguards.
• Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
sawing wood, especially oak, beech andMDF.
The following factors are of influence to noise production:
• the material to be cut
• the type of saw blade
• the feed force
• machine maintenance
The following factors are of influence to dust exposure:
• worn saw blade
• dust extractor with air velocity less than 20 m/s
• workpiece not exactly guided
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage
on the ratingplate.
Your
tool is double insulated in accordance
with EN60745; therefore no earth wire isrequired.
WARNING: 115 V units have to be operated via a fail-safe
isolating transformer with an earth screen between the
primary and secondarywinding.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by
or an authorised serviceorganisation.
NOTE: This device is intended for the connection to a power
supply system with maximum permissible system impedance
Zmax of 0.28 Ω at the interface point (power service box)
of user’s supply. The user has to ensure that this device is
connected only to a power system which fulfills the requirement
above. If necessary, the user can ask the public power supply
company for the system impedance at the interface point.
Mains Plug Replacement
(U.K. & Ireland Only)
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
• Safely dispose of the oldplug.
• Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in theplug.
• Connect the blue lead to the neutralterminal.
WARNING: No connection is to be made to the
earthterminal.
Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs.
Recommended fuse: 13A.
Using an Extension Cable
If an extension cable is required, use an approved 3–core
extension cable suitable for the power input of this tool (see
Technical Data).The minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm
2
; the
maximum length is 30m.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cablecompletely.
