Danger! Risk of electric shock!

• Do not expose tool to rain.

Do not operate tool in damp or wet

environment.

Prevent body contact with earthed

objects such as radiators, pipes,

cooking stoves, refrigerators when

operating this tool.

• Do not use the power cable for pur-

poses it is not intended for.

Risk of personal injury and

crushing by moving parts!

• Do not operate the tool without

installed guards.

• Always keep sufficient distance to

the saw blade. Use suitable feeding

aids, if necessary. Keep sufficient

distance to driven components

when operating the electric tool.

• Wait for the saw blade to come to a

complete stop before removing cut-

offs, scrap etc. from the work area.

• Do not attempt to stop the saw

blade by pushing the workpiece

against its side.

• Ensure the tool is disconnected from

power before servicing.

• Ensure that when switching on (e.g.

after servicing) no tools or loose

parts are left on or in the tool.

• Turn power off if the tool is not used.

Cutting hazard, even with the

cutting tool at standstill!

• Wear gloves when changing cutting

tools.

• Store saw blade in such manner that

nobody will get hurt.

Risk of kickback (workpiece is

caught by the saw blade and thrown

against the operator):

• Always have the riving knife cor-

rectly set when operating the saw in

table saw mode.

• Do not jam workpieces.

• Make sure the saw blade is suitable

for the material of the workpiece.

• Cut thin or thin-walled workpieces

only with fine-toothed saw blades.

• Always use sharp saw blades.

• If in doubt, check workpiece for

inclusion of foreign matter (e.g. nails

or screws).

• Cut only stock of dimensions that

allow for safe and secure holding

while cutting.

• Never cut several workpieces at the

same time – and also no bundles

containing several individual pieces.

Risk of personal injury if individual

pieces are caught by the saw blade

uncontrolled.

• Remove small cutoffs, scrap, etc.

from the work area – wait for the

saw blade to come to a complete

stop before doing so.

Drawing-in/trapping hazard!

• Ensure that no parts of the body or

clothing can be caught and drawn in

by rotating components (no neck-

ties, no gloves, no loose-fitting

clothes; contain long hair with hair-

net).

• Never attempt to cut any workpieces

which contain

− ropes,

− strings,

− cords,

− cables or

− wires, or to which any of the

above are attached.

Hazard generated by insuffi-

cient personal protection gear!

• Wear hearing protection.

• Wear safety glasses.

• Wear dust mask.

• Wear suitable work clothes.

• When working outdoors wearing of

non-slip shoes is recommended.

Risk of injury by inhaling wood

dust!

• Dust of certain timber species (e.g.

beech, oak, ash) can cause cancer

when inhaled. Work only with a suit-

able dust collector connected to the

saw. The dust collector must comply

with the data stated in the technical

specifications.

• Ensure that as little as possible

wood dust will get into the environ-

ment:

− Remove wood dust deposits in

the work area (do not blow

away!);

− Remove any leakages on the

dust collector;

− Ensure good ventilation.

Hazard generated by modifica-

tion of the machine or use of parts

not tested and approved by the equip-

ment manufacturer!

• Assemble tool in strict accordance

with these instructions.

• Use only parts approved by the

equipment manufacturer. This

applies especially for:

− saw blades (see "Technical spec-

ifications" for stock nos.);

− safety devices (see "Technical

specifications" for stock nos.).

• Do not change any parts.

Hazard generated by tool

defects!

• Keep tool and accessories in good

repair. Observe the maintenance

instructions.

• Before any use check tool for possi-

ble damage: before operating the

tool all safety devices, protective

guards or slightly damaged parts

need to be checked for proper func-

tion as specified. Check to see that

all moving parts work properly and

do not jam. All parts must be cor-

rectly installed and meet all condi-

tions necessary for the proper oper-

ation of the tool.

• Damaged protection devices or

parts must be repaired or replaced

by a qualified specialist. Have dam-

aged switches replaced by a service

centre. Do not operate tool if the

switch can not be turned ON or

OFF.

• Keep handles free of oil and grease.

Risk of injury by noise!

• Wear hearing protection.

• Ensure the riving knife is not bent. A

bent riving knife presses the work-

piece laterally against the saw

blade. This causes noise.

3.3 General safety devices

Motor protection

The electronic motor protection switches

the motor OFF by overcurrent detection,

in case the rotor is locked (e.g. by a

blocked saw blade).

Undervoltage relay

An undervoltage relay prevents the

machine from starting up when power is

restored after a power failure.
