Working with the electric
power tool
Please observe all mentioned safety in
formations and the following rules when
working:
–
Only guide the machine against the work
piece when it is switched on.
–
Check the function of the pendulum guard
prior to use and do not use the electric
power tool if it does not slide in and out
easily.
–
Always secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move while being
processed.
–
Always hold the machine with two hands at
the handles [1-1] when performing work.
This reduces the risk of injury and is a pre
requisite for precise work.
–
Always push the saw forwards [7-9], and
never towards yourself.
–
Adapt the infeed speed to prevent the cut
ters on the saw blade from overheating and
prevent plastic materials from melting dur
ing cutting.
–
Make sure that the knob [1-12] is tightened
before starting work.
–
Do not use the machine when the electron
ics are faulty because the machine may op
erate at excessive speeds. An absence of
the smooth start-up function or speed con
trol indicates that the electronics are faul
ty.
