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 woodtreatment 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.

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

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.
