Working Instructions
During pauses in the work, when not in use or
during work on the machine itself (e.g., changing
of the working tools, repairs, cleaning, adjust-
ment), pull the mains plug.
Use only sharp, flawless saw blades. Replace immedi-
ately cracked, bent or dull saw blades.
Select the saw blades according to the material to be
worked:
–
Hard metal saw blades for light building materials;
–
Never use saw blades for wood/plastic for light
building materials.
For the sawing of light building material, the legal reg-
ulations and recommendations of the material manu-
facturer are to be observed.
Working with material containing asbestos is not per-
mitted.
Clamp the material firmly. Under no circumstances
should the work piece be held with the hand or foot.
