pipe can lead to an explosion. Penetration
of a water pipe can result in damage to
property.
– Wait until the power tool has come to a
complete halt before placing it down. The
insertion tool can get caught and lead to a
loss of control of the power tool.
– Do not use the machine for overhead work.
– Harmful/toxic dust may be produced dur
ing your work (e.g. paint containing lead,
certain types of wood or metals). Contact
with or inhalation of this dust may pose a
risk for the operating personnel or persons
in the vicinity. Comply with the safety regu
lations that apply in your country.
–
Wear suitable personal protective equip
ment: Ear protection, protective goggles,
dust mask for work that generates dust,
protective gloves for working with rough
materials and for changing tools.
– Wear a P2 respiratory mask to protect
your health. In enclosed spaces, ensure
that there is sufficient ventilation and con
nect a mobile dust extractor.
– Check whether there are any signs of dam
age to the housing components, such as
cracks or stress whitening. Have any dam
aged components repaired before using the
power tool.
– Only for AS/NZS: The tool shall always be
supplied via residual current device with a
rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
2.5 Residual risks
In spite of compliance with all relevant design
regulations, hazzards while operating the ma
chine still occur e.g.:
– Touching the saw blade in the area of the
front opening below the saw table,
– Touching the parts of the saw blade that
protrude below the saw table while cutting,
– Touching rotating parts from left and right
sides: saw blade, clamping flange, flange
screw.,
– Kickback of machine due to jamming in the
workpiece,
– Touching live parts when the casing is
opened and the mains plug is in the socket,
– the flying off of parts,
– the flying off of machine parts from a dam
aged machine,
– noise emission,
– dust emission.
2.6 Aluminium processing
When sawing aluminium, the following
measures must be taken for safety reasons:
– Install an upstream residual-current circuit
breaker (FIG, PRCD).
– Connect the machine to a suitable dust ex
tractor.
– Regularly remove dust deposits from the
motor housing.
– Use an aluminium saw blade.
– Close the viewing window/chipguard.
Wear protective goggles.
– When sawing panels, they must be lubrica
ted with paraffin but thin-walled profiles
(up to 3 mm) can be sawed without lubrica
tion.
2.7 Emission levels
The levels determined in accordance
with EN 62841 are typically:
Sound pressure level L
PA
= 92 dB(A)
Sound power level L
WA
= 103 dB(A)
Uncertainty K = 3 dB
CAUTION
Noise generated when working
Risk of damage to hearing
► Use ear protection.
Vibration emission level a
h
(vector sum for
three directions) and uncertainty K measured in
accordance with EN 62841:
Sawing wood
a
h
= 1.5 m/s
2
K = 1,5 m/s
2
Sawing metal
a
h
= 1.7 m/s
2
K = 1,5 m/s
2
The specified emission levels (vibration, noise)
– are used to compare machines.
– They are also used for making preliminary
estimates regarding vibration and noise
load during operation.
– They represent the primary applications of
the power tool.
