overhang the table surface.
h) Apply particular caution when sawing workpiec-
es that are twisted, knotted or warped, or that
do not have a straight edge that can be used to
guide them with a mitre stop or along a stop rail.
A twisted, knotted or warped workpiece is unstable
and results in incorrect alignment of the kerf with
the saw blade, jamming and kickback.
i) Never saw multiple workpieces stacked on top
of each other, or one behind the other.
The saw blade could engage in one or more parts
and result in kickback.
j) If you wish to restart a saw, the saw blade of
which is inserted in a workpiece, centre the
saw blade in the sawing gap so that the saw
teeth are not hooked in the workpiece. If the
saw blade is jammed, it can lift the workpiece and
cause kickback when the saw is restarted.
k) Always keep saw blades clean, sharp and suf-
ciently set. Never use warped saw blades or
saw blades with cracked or broken teeth.

Safety instructions for the operation of circular
table saws
a) Switch o the circular table saw and discon-
nect it from the power supply before removing
the table insert, changing the saw blade, im-
plementing settings on the riving knife or the
saw blade protective cover, and if the machine
is left unattended.

dents.
b) Never leave the circular table saw running
unattended. Switch o the electric tool and
do not leave it until it has come to a complete
standstill.
An unattended running saw poses an uncontrolled
risk.
c) Set up the circular table saw in a location that
is level and well ventilated, and where it can
stand safely and remain balanced. The instal-
lation site must provide sucient space for
easily handling the size of your workpieces.
Disorganised and unlit working areas, and une-

traction system.
self-ignite.
k) Do not remove partially sawn material whilst
the saw is running.
stick between the saw blade and stop rail or in the
and wait until the saw blade has come to a stand-
still, before removing the material.
l) For longitudinal cuts on workpieces that are
thinner than 2 mm, use an additional parallel
stop that is in contact with the table surface.
Thin workpieces can wedge under the parallel
stop and lead to kickback.
Kickback - causes and corresponding safety in-
structions
Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece to a
catching or jamming saw blade, or a cut created in the
workpiece at an angle to the saw blade, or if part of the
workpiece becomes jammed between the saw blade
saw table and thrust in the direction of the operator.
a) Never stand directly in line with the saw blade.
Always stand at the side of the saw blade on
which the stop rail is located.
speed towards those persons who stand in front
of, or in line with the saw blade.
b) Never reach over or behind the saw blade to
pull or support the workpiece.
This can result in accidental contact with the saw
drawn into the saw blade.
c) Never hold and push the workpiece against the
turning saw blade during sawing.
Pushing the workpiece against the saw blade dur-
ing sawing will lead to jamming and kickback.
d) Align the stop rail parallel to the saw blade.
A stop rail that is not aligned will push the work-
piece against the saw blade and create kickback.
e) With concealed saw cuts (e.g. folds, grooves
or slits in the turning process), use a thrust
collar to guide the workpiece against the table
and stop rail.
the workpiece in the event of kickback.
f) Apply particular caution when sawing assem-
bled workpieces in areas that are not visible.
The plunging saw blade can saw into objects that
could cause a kickback.
