− mains voltage and system fre-
quency conform to the voltage
and frequency shown on the
saw’s rating label;
− fuse protection by a residual cur-
rent operated device (RCD) of
30 mA sensitivity;
− outlets properly installed, earthed
and tested;
Position power supply cable so it
does not interfere with the work and
is not damaged.
Protect power supply cable from heat,
aggressive liquids and sharp edges.
Use only rubber-jacketed extension
cables with sufficient lead cross-sec-
tion (3 x 1.5 mm
2
).
Do not pull on power supply cable to
unplug.
Risk of injury!
This saw may only be operated
by one person at a time. Other per-
sons may stay only at a distance from
the saw for the purpose of feeding or
removing stock.
Before starting work check to see that
the following are in proper working
order:
− power cable and plug;
− ON/OFF switch;
− riving knife;
− blade guard;
− push stick.
Use personal protection gear:
− dust respirator;
− hearing protection;
− safety goggles.
Assume proper operating position:
− at the front of the saw;
− in front of the saw;
− to the left of the line of cut.
− When working with two persons,
the other person must remain at
an adequate distance to the saw.
If the type of work requires, use the
following:
− table extension, if otherwise
workpiece would fall off the table
after cutting;
− sliding carriage;
− dust collector.
Avoid typical operator mistakes:
− do not attempt to stop the saw
blade by pushing the workpiece
against its side. Risk of kickback.
− Always hold the workpiece down
on the table and do not jam it.
Risk of kickback.
− Never cut several workpieces at
the same time – and also no
bundles containing several indivi-
dual pieces. Risk of personal
injury if individual pieces are
caught by the saw blade uncont-
rolled.
Drawing-in/trapping hazard!
Never cut stock to which
ropes, cords, strings, cables or wires
are attached or which contain such
materials.
8.1 Dust collector
Danger!
Dust of certain timber species
(e.g. oak and ash) can cause cancer
when inhaled: Always use a dust col-
lector when working in enclosed
spaces (air speed at the saw's dust
collection port ≥ 20 m/s).
The dust extraction ports are located at
the chip case assembly and at the saw
blade guard.
Observe the dust collector’s operating
instructions as well!
Operation without a dust collector is only
possible:
− outdoors;
− for short-term operation
(up to max. 30 minutes);
− with dust respirator.
Caution!
If no dust collector is hooked
up the sliding plate on the chip case
must be opened, otherwise chips and
saw dust build up inside the chip
case.
To open the sliding plate:
1. Loosen both knurled thumb screws
(40) on the underside of the chip
case slightly.
2. Slide sliding plate (39) all the way to
the side.
3. Tighten the knurled thumb screws.
8.2 Setting the depth of cut
Danger!
Parts of the body or objects in
the setting range can be caught be
the running saw blade! Set the depth
of cut only with the saw blade at
standstill!
The saw blade’s depth of cut needs to
be adjusted to the workpiece height: The
blade guard must rest with it’s front edge
on the workpiece.
• Set the depth of cut by turning the
handwheel (41) on the chip case.
Note:
To compensate for possible play
in the blade height setting mechanism,
always raise the blade to the desired
position.
8.3 Setting the saw blade tilt
Danger!
Parts of the body or objects in
the setting range can be caught be
the running saw blade! Set the depth
of cut only with the saw blade at
standstill!!
The saw blade’s tilt can be steplessly set
between 0° and 45°.
Note:
To utilize the full setting range of
45°, the depth of cut must be reduced
accordingly.
1. If necessary, lower saw blade to a
max. depth of cut of 70 mm.
2. Loosen twist handle (42) approx.
one turn.
