Read the Operating Instructions carefully before use!
General
Do not use the saw for grooving, rabbeting or routing.
•
•
Do not use to cut items larger than the dimensions specified under Capacity in the section
Technical Data.
•
Make sure that the work area is free from shavings and sawdust.
The saw must be placed/fitted on a stable surface so that it cannot move during sawing.
•
•
The saw must not be used for cutting round timber or logs.
•
Never lock the upper guard in its open position, except when changing blades as described below.
Never remove the lower guard unless the saw is being used as a circular saw.
•
Take care not to trap fingers or other parts of the body when angling the worktable.
•
Lock the top of the saw in lowered position when moving the saw.
•
Never use the guards to lift or carry the saw.
Saw blade
•
Make sure that the spindle and flanges for fitting the saw blade are always clean.
•
Never use high-speed steel blades.
•
Never use grinding or cutting discs.
•
Always use the correct type of saw blade for the actual model. For use only on wood, aluminium or
similar materials.
•
Never use saw blades if the maximum speed is lower than the maximum rotation speed of the tool.
•
Never use blades that are bent or have teeth missing.
•
Never use oversized blades.
Check that the orientation of the blade corresponds with the direction of rotation of the motor.
•
Never use a saw blade that is thicker than the cleaver blade.
•
Always wear protective gloves when handling the saw blade. Never place your hands near the saw
•
blade or try to remove material from the work area while the blade is rotating.
Before use
Round workpieces must be secured with screw clamps or the like, as the rotating blade can cause
•
them to spin.
•
Check that the workpiece does not contain nails, screws or other objects that can damage the
blade.
•
Check that all lock knobs and screws are properly tightened and that the sawing table is properly
secured (cannot turn, vibrate or tip over) before each use. This is particularly important when the
table has been turned round or upside down.
•
Check that the guard can be moved freely without jamming and that the closure mechanism works
correctly before each use. Never use the saw if this is not the case.
•
Check before each use that the saw blade cannot come into contact with any part of the worktable,
the frame or the cleaver blade.
Check that the top of the saw is properly secured before cutting bevels.
•
•
If using a parallel fence, check that this is in line with the saw blade.
Sawing
Never use the saw if the blade guards or cleaver blade are incorrectly fitted.
•
Use extra supports (table, trestles or similar) for long workpieces so that they do not fall off the
•
worktable when sawing.
Never saw workpieces that are so small that they cannot be properly clamped.
•
Never saw freehand. Always secure the workpiece before starting to saw.
•
•
Check that the spindle lock is not activated before starting the saw.
•
The saw blade must not be in contact with the workpiece or any other object when you start the
saw.
Use a stick or block to push the workpiece into the saw blade if the distance between the blade and
•
the parallel fence is less than 12 cm.
•
Do not push the workpiece in too quickly when the saw is used as a table circular saw.
