able dust collector connected to the

saw. The dust collector must comply

with the data stated in the technical

specifications.

• See to it that only as little as possi-

ble wood dust will get into the envi-

ronment:

− remove wood dust deposit in the

work area (do not blow away!);

− fix any leakages on the dust col-

lector;

− ensure good ventilation.

Hazard generated by modifica-

tion of the machine, or use of parts

good repair. Observe the mainte-

nance instructions.

• Before any use check machine for

possible damage: before operating

the machine all safety devices, pro-

tective guards or slightly damaged

function as specified. Check to see

that all moving parts work properly

and do not jam. All parts must be

correctly installed and meet all con-

ditions necessary for the proper
