IMPORTANT! To assure product SAFETY and
RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment
(other than those listed in this manual) should be
performed by authorized service centers or other
qualified service personnel, always using identical
replacement parts.
DUST EXTRACTION
Dust from materials such as lead-containing coatings and some
wood types, can be harmful to one’s health. Breathing-in the dust
can cause allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of
the user or bystanders. Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is
considered carcinogenic, especially in connection with woodtreat-
ment additives.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to
be worked.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to health or
carcinogenic, use dust class M vacuum cleaner.
The machine is provided with a dust collection port at the rear of the
machine suitable for use with dust extraction equipment featuring
35 mm nozzles. The blade guard assembly also features a dust
collection port for 35 mm nozzles.
• During all operations, connect a dust extraction device
designed in accordance with the relevant regulations regarding
dust emission.
• Ensure that the dust extraction hose in use is suitable for the
application and material being cut. Ensure proper hose
management.
• A splitter accessory is available to connect both ports to a
single dust extractor.
• Be aware that man-made materials such as chipboard or MDF
produce more dust particles during cutting than natural timber.
CLEANING (FIG. A)
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing
with dry air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and
around the air vents. Wear approved eye protection and
approved dust mask when performing this procedure.
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh
chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool.
These chemicals may weaken the materials used in
these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and
mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never
immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, regularly clean
the table top and ventilation slots.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, regularly clean
the dust collection system.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, do not use the saw without reattaching the
dust access door.
The blade guard (2) and throat plate must be placed in position
before operating the saw.
Before use, carefully inspect upper and lower blade guards as well
as the dust extraction tube to determine that it will operate properly.
Ensure that chips, dust or work piece particles cannot lead to
blockage of one of the functions.
In case workpiece fragments are jammed between saw blade and
guards, disconnect the machine from the power supply and follow
the instructions given in section Saw blade assembly /
replacement. Remove the jammed parts and reassemble the saw
blade.
Keep the ventilation slots clear and regularly clean the housing with
a soft cloth.
Regularly clean the dust collection system:
