The machine is equipped with a safety circuit-
breaker (11) to prevent it starting up again after
a voltage drop.
Before you use the machine for the first time,
check that the voltage marked on the rating plate
is the same as your mains voltage.
If you need to use an extension cable, make
sure its conductor cross-section is big enough
for the saw's power consumption. Minimum
cross-section: 1 mm
If you use a cable reel, the complete cable has
to be pulled off the reel.
Do not carry the machine by ist power cable.
Check the power cable (9). Never use a faulty or
damaged power cable.
Never remove the plug from the socket-outlet by

The splitter (5) is an important safety device. Not
only does it guide the workpiece, it also prevents
the kerf closing behind the blade so that there is
no kickback from the workpiece. Note the
thickness of the splitter. The splitter should
never be thinner than the saw blade body or
thicker than the width of its kerf.
The guard hood (2) has to be lowered over the
workpiece for each cut.
Be sure to use a push stick (3) when slitting
narrow workpieces (smaller than 120 mm in
width).
Never cut workpieces which are too small to hold
securely in your hand.
The parallel stop has to be clamped
on the right-hand side of the saw blade when
cutting narrow workpieces.

cutting.
Always stand to the side of the saw blade when
working with the saw.

Always press the workpiece firmly against the
saw table (1).
Make sure that off-cuts do not catch on the saw
blade crown. Risk of catapulting!
Never remove loose splinters, chips or jammed
pieces of wood when the saw blade is running.
To rectify faults or remove jammed pieces of
wood, always switch off the machine first. - Pull
out the power plug! -
If the sawing gap is worn, replace the table
insert (6). - Pull out the power plug! -
