•
Keep the surrounding area of the machine well maintained and free
of loose materials, e.g., chips and cut-offs.
•
Periodically check that the motor air slots are clean and free of chips.
•
Disconnect the saw from the mains supply before changing blades
or carrying out maintenance.
•
Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work when the machine
is still running and the head is not in the rest position.
•
When performing mitre, bevel or compound mitre cuts, adjust the
sliding mitre fence to ensure the correct clearance for the application.
•
Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other parts of the workpiece
from the cutting area while the saw is running and the saw head is
not in the rest position.
•
Before work, check that the machine is placed on an even surface
with sufficient stability.
•
Never cut light alloy, especially magnesium.
•
Do not use any abrasive or diamond discs.
•
In case of an accident or machine failure, immediately turn the
machine off and disconnect machine from the power source.
•
Report the failure and mark the machine in suitable form to prevent
other people from using the defective machine.
•
When the saw blade is blocked due to abnormal feed force during
cutting, turn the machine off and disconnect it from power supply.
Remove the workpiece and ensure that the saw blade runs freely.
Turn the machine on and start new cutting operation with reduced
feed force.
•
Ensure that your position is always left or right of the cutting line.
•
Provide adequate general or localized lighting.
•
Ensure the operator is adequately trained in use, adjustment and
operation of the machine.
•
Turn the machine off when unattended.
•
Connect the saw to a dust extraction device when sawing wood.
Always consider factors influencing exposure of dust such as:
– type of material to be machined (chip board produces more dust
than wood);
– correct adjustment of saw blade;
– ensure that the local extraction as well as hoods, baffles and
chutes are properly adjusted;
– dust extractor with air velocity not less than 20 m/s.
•
Be sure all blade and flanges are clean and the recessed sides of the
collar are against the blade. Tighten the arbor nut securely.
•
Keep the saw blade sharp and properly set.
•
Ensure the speed marked on the saw blade is at least equal to the
speed marked on the saw.
•
Do not attempt to operate on anything but the designated voltage.
•
Do not apply lubricants to the blade when it is running.
•
Ensure that bystanders do not stand behind the machine.
•
For your own safety, always mount the machine to a work bench
using bolts with a diameter of 8 mm and 80 mm in length.
•
When performing straight cross-cuts, adjust the left-side fence
correctly to ensure a clearance of maximum 5 mm between the saw
blade and the fence.
•
The worklight is intended for lighting the workpiece area and is not a
safety device.
•
During transportation, make sure that the upper part of the saw
blade is completely covered by the upper guard.
Additional Safety Rules for Saw Bench Mode
•
Replace the kerf plate when worn.
•
Never use your saw without the kerf plate.
•
Never cut when riving knife and/or upper guard are removed.
•
Without additional support, the machine is designed to accept the
maximum workpiece size of:
– Height 51 mm by width 500 mm by length 700 mm.
– Longer workpieces need to be supported by suitable additional
table.
•
Do not use any saw blades other than what is specified under
Technical Data. Ensure that the riving knife is not thicker than the
width of the groove cut by the saw blade and not thinner than the
body of the blade.
•
Make sure that the blade rotates in the correct direction and that the
teeth are pointing to the front of the saw bench.
•
Be sure all clamp handles are tight before starting any operation.
•
Make sure that the riving knife is adjusted to the correct distance
from the blade—maximum 5 mm.
•
Keep your hands out of the path of the saw blade.
•
Disconnect the saw from the mains supply before changing blades
or carrying out maintenance.

•
Always use the push stick. Never cut workpieces smaller than
30 mm.
•
Use a push stick at all times and never place hands closer than
160 mm from the saw blade while cutting.
•
Always keep the push stick in its place when not in use.
•
Do not reach around behind the saw blade.
•
Do not stand on top of the unit.
•
Do not use the upper guard for handling or transportation.
•
Adjust the parallel rip fence correctly to avoid contact with the upper
guard.
•
Ensure that the saw bench table is securely fixed at the chosen
height.
•
Do not use the saw for cutting any material other than wood.
•
Do not use this machine for slotting, rebating or grooving.
•
Ensure that the saw head arm is securely fixed when sawing in the
saw bench mode. Only use the machine when the saw bench table
is in the horizontal position.
Additional Safety Rules for Mitre Saw Mode
•
Ensure that the upper portion of the saw blade is completely
enclosed when in the mitre sawing mode. Never remove the upper
blade guard when using the machine in mitre saw mode.
•
Never cut workpieces shorter than 250 mm.
•
Without additional support, the machine is designed to accept the
maximum workpiece size of:
– Height 85 mm by width 160 mm by length 550 mm.
– Longer workpieces need to be supported by suitable additional
table.
•
Always clamp the workpiece safely.
•
Do not replace the worklight LED with a different type. Repairs shall
only be made by the manufacturer or authorised Berner repair agent.
Residual Risks
The following risks are inherent to the use of saws:
– injuries caused by touching the rotating parts.
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the
implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided.
These are:
– Impairment of hearing.
– Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the rotating saw
blade.
– Risk of injury when changing the blade.
– Risk of squeezing fingers when opening the guards.
– Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when sawing
wood, especially oak, beech and MDF.
– Risk of injury caused by parts of the workpiece hurled at bystanders.
– Risk of accidents caused by flying metal particles when cutting into the
fence.
– Fire hazard due to extreme dust concentration when not cleaned
regularly.
– Risk of uncontrolled situations when used in ambient temperatures
below -10 °C or above +45 °C.
The following factors are of influence to noise production:
– the material to be cut
– the type of saw blade
– the feed force
The following factors are of influence to dust exposure:
– worn saw blade
– dust extractor with air velocity less than 20 m/s
– workpiece not exactly guided
