• If you use a cable reel, the complete cable has to be pulled off
the reel.
• Do not carry the tool by its cable.
• Check the power cable. Never use a faulty or damaged power
cable.
• Do not use the cable to pull the plug out of the socket. Protect
the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
• Do not leave the saw in the rain and never use it in damp or wet
conditions.
• Provide good lighting.
• Do not saw near flammable liquids or gases.
• Wear suitable work clothes! Loose garments or jewelry may
become caught up in the rotating saw blade.
• Non-slip shoes are recommended when working outdoors.
• Wear a hair net if you have long hair.
• Avoid abnormal working postures.
• Operators have to be at least 18 years of age. Trainees of at least
16 years of age are allowed to use the machine under supervi-
sion.
• Keep children away from the machine when it is connected to
the power supply.
• Keep your workplace clean of wood scrap and any unnecessary
objects.
• An untidy work area invites accidents.
• Do not allow other persons, especially children, to touch the tool
or cable. Keep them out of your work area.
• Persons working on the machine should not be distracted.
• Note the direction of rotation of the motor and saw blade. 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.
• After you have switched off the motor, never slow down the saw
blade (4) by applying pressure to its side.
• Fit only blades (4) which are well sharpened and have no cracks
or deformations.
• Do not use circular saw blades (4) made of high-alloy high-
speed steel (HSS).
• Use only blades which are recommended by the manufacturer,
comply with EN 847-1 and come with a warning notice. When
changing the blade, make sure that the cutting width is not smal-
ler and the saw plate not bigger than the thickness of the splitter.
• Faulty saw blades (4) have to be replaced immediately.
• Never use saw blades which do not comply with the data speci-
fied in this manual.
• Never wedge the hinged guard hood (2) in open position. Use
the upper blade guard and set it to the correct position.
• Never dismantle the machine’s safety devices (2, 5) or put them
out of operation.
• If the table insert is worn, replace it.
• Use the splitter correctly and set it to the correct position. The
splitter (5) is an important safety device. Not only does it guide
the workpiece, it also prevents the kerf closing behind the blade
so that there is no kickback from the workpiece. Note the thick-
ness of the splitter.
• The guard hood (2) has to be lowered over the workpiece for
each cut.
• Be sure to use a push stick (3) when slitting narrow workpieces
(smaller than 120 mm in width). Keep the push stick or handle
for a push block at the machine at all times, even when you are
not using them.
• Never cut workpieces which are too small to hold securely in
your hand.
• Important: It is prohibited to use this saw to make plunge cuts.
• Always stand to the side of the saw blade when working with the
saw.
• Never load the machine so much that it cuts out.
• Always press the workpiece firmly against the saw table (1).
• Make sure that off-cuts do not catch on the saw blade crown.
Risk of catapulting!
• Never remove loose splinters, chips or jammed pieces of wood
when the saw blade is running.
• To rectify faults or remove jammed pieces of wood, always swit-
ch off the machine first. - Pull out the power plug!
• If the sawing gap is worn, replace the table insert (6). - Pull out
the power plug!
• Carry out conversions, adjustments, measurements and cleaning
jobs only when the motor is switched off. - Pull out the power
plug!
• Before switching on, make sure that all keys and wrenches have
been removed from the tool.
• Switch off the motor and pull out the power plug before you
leave the workplace.
• Refit all guards and safety devices immediately after you have
completed any repairs or maintenance work.
• Be sure to observe the safety information and operating and
maintenance instructions issued by the manufacturer, as well as
the dimensions listed in the Technical Data.
• It is imperative to observe the accident prevention regulations in
force in your area as well as all other generally recognized rules
of safety.
• Note the information published by your professional associa-
tions.
• Connect up the dust extraction system on all jobs. Circular saws
have to be connected to a dust collecting device when used to
saw wood. The operator has to be informed about the conditions
with an influence on dust development, e.g. the type of material
being processed (source and collection of the dust), the signifi-
cance of local separation arrangements, and the correct setting of
hoods, baffle plates and guides.
• To prevent injuries from flying debris from the workpiece, ope-
rate the saw only with a suitable extraction system or a standard
industrial vacuum cleaner.
• The bench-type saw has to be connected to a 230 V socket-out-
let with earthing contact and minimum fusing of 10 A.
• Do not use any low-powered machines for heavy duty work.
• Do not mis-use the cable
• Make sure you stand squarely and keep your balance at all times.
• Check the tool for damage
• Each time before re-using the tool, carefully check that the
guards or any slightly damaged parts are working as intended.
• Check that the moving parts are in good working order, that they
do not jam, and that no parts are damaged. Make sure that all
parts are fitted correctly and that all other operating conditions
are properly fulfilled.
• Unless otherwise stated in the operating instructions, damaged
safety devices and parts have to be repaired or replaced by an
authorized service center.
• Have damaged switches replaced by a customer service work-
shop.
• This electric tool complies with the pertinent safety regulations.
Repairs are to be carried out only by a qualified electrician using
original replacement parts or the user may suffer an accident.
• If necessary, wear suitable personal protection equipment. This
could consist of:
- Ear-muffs to prevent the risk of damaging your hearing
- A breathing mask to prevent the risk of inhaling hazardous dust
• Always wear gloves when handling saw blades and rough mate-
rials. Whenever practicable, saw blades must be carried in a con-
tainer.
• The operator has to be informed about the conditions with an
influence on noise development (e.g. blades designed to reduce
noise emission, caring for blades and saws).
