•
Use a dust mask or dust hood to prevent the
inhalation of (harmful) dust.
•
Wear gloves when you exchange the saw
blade or when rough material is to be sawn. It
is best to keep saw blades in a separate
holder to prevent anyone getting hurt.
•
When the machine is equipped with a laser,
this may not be replaced by a different type of
laser. Repairs may only be carried out by the
laser manufacturer or a recognised specialist.
•
The operator should wear ear protectors to
reduce any damage to hearing.
•
To prevent accidents occurring by the
accidental switching on of the machine, the
plug must always be pulled out of the socket
before adjustment of the stop or the saw head
is carried out, when changing blades or
accessories, and when maintaining the
machine.
•
To prevent electric shocks, when plugging the
plug into the socket the metal pins must not
be touched in any way whatsoever.
•
Never use the cord to pull the plug out of the
socket. Keep the cord away from oil, heat and
sharp objects.
•
Never apply a cleaning or lubrication agent to
a saw blade that is still revolving.
•
To prevent fires, never use the machine in the
vicinity of flammable liquids, vapours or
gases.
•
Always use original accessories: others may
cause wounding.
•
Always choose the right saw blade in relation
to the material to be sawn.
•
Ensure that during operation, the swinging
guard functions properly. It must move freely
and be able to close by itself. It should never
be jammed in the open position.
•
Do not work with material containing
asbestos.
•
Protect the saw blade from strikes and
shocks. Do not apply side pressure to the saw
blade.

mains plug.
Check that all locks and tensioning devices are
secure:

Lock the pin on the right hand side again
While the machine is in use
With frequent use of the machine, do not let
routine lead to mistakes. Remember that a slight
lack of concentration can lead to serious injuries
in a fraction of a second.
•
Before beginning to saw, make sure that the
protective hood is in the right position.
•
Before cutting the first cut, let the machine run
for a short while. If you hear any unusual
sounds or observe any strong vibration, turn
the machine off and take the plug out of the
socket, and then find the cause of the
problem. Do not switch the machine on again
until the cause has been found and the fault
repaired.
•
Make sure that the piece of work being sawn
off does not get stuck in place, do not hold it or
clamp it and no not secure it against the stop.
It must be able to move freely along the side
of the saw blade. When this is not possible the
piece of work being sawn can be trapped by
the saw blade and be flung about.
•
Avoid placing your hands anywhere where in
the case of a sudden movement one or both
hands can come into contact with the saw
blade.
•
Let the saw get up to full revolutions before
you start sawing.
•
Press the saw head downwards so that the
motor is not overloaded and the saw blade
does not get jammed.
•
If you need to remove jammed material, first
let the saw blade stop turning completely,
switch the motor off and take the plug out of
the socket.
•
At the end of the sawing process, keep the
saw head downwards, switch off the machine
and wait until all moving parts has come to a
stop before you take your hands off the
machine.
