• m Warning! When changing the saw blade ensure
that the cutting width is not smaller and the main
blade thickness of the saw blade not greater than
the thickness of the riving knife!
• Make sure that a saw blade is selected which is
appropriate for the material to be cut.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
This includes: Hearing protection to reduce the risk
of becoming hard of hearing, breathing respirator to
reduce the risk of inhaling hazardous dust.
• Wear gloves when handling saw blades and rough
materials.
• Whenever practicable, saw blades should be car-
ried in a container.
• Wear safety goggles. Any splinters, chips and
dusts which are ejected from the device when it is
in operation may cause sight loss.
• Connect the power tool to a dust collection device
when sawing wood. Among other things, the emis-
sion of dust is affected by the type of material to be
machined, the importance of local deposition (cap-
ture or source) and the correct setting of hoods/de-
flector plates/guide mechanisms.
• Do not use any saw blades made of high-alloy high-
speed steel (HSS).
• Always store the push stick or push block in its
holder on the power tool when not in use.
2. Maintenance and Servicing
• Always remove the mains plug when carrying out
any adjustments or maintenance work.
• The cause of the noise is influenced by various
factors, including the properties of the blades, the
condition of the saw blade and power tool. If pos-
sible, use saw blades that are designed to reduce
the noise level, service the power tool and tool at-
tachments regularly and repair them if necessary
to reduce noise.
• Report any faults to the power tool, safety devices
or the tool attachment as soon as they are discov-
ered to the person responsible for safety.
3. Safe Working
• Use the push stick or the handle with push block to
pass the workpiece safely past the saw blade.
• Make sure that the riving knife is always used and
that this is correctly adjusted.
• Use the upper blade guard and adjust it correctly.
• Use only saw blades whose maximum speed is not
lower than the maximum spindle speed of the tool
being used and which are suitable for the material
to be cut.
• Do not create any rebates or grooves unless a suit-
able protective device, such as a tunnel guard, is
attached above the saw table.
• Circular saws must not be used for slotting (cutting
grooves which end in the workpiece).

• When transporting the power tool, use only the
transport devices supplied. Never use the guards
for handling or transporting the tool.
• During transport, make sure that the top part of the
saw blade is covered, for example with the guard.
• Ensure that the only spacer washers and spindle
rings which are used are suitable for the purpose
stated by the manufacturer.
• The floor around the machine must be flat, clean
and free of loose particles such as chips and cut-
ting residues.
• Working position always to the side of the saw
blade.
• Do not remove any cutting residues or other parts
of the workpiece from the cutting area for as long
as the machine is running and the sawing unit is not
yet in the rest position.
• Ensure that the machine is always attached to a
workbench or table whenever possible.
• Secure long workpieces against tilting at the end of
the cutting operation (e.g. unwinding stand or roller
stand).
m Caution! Never remove any loose splinters,
chips or jammed pieces of wood when the saw
blade is still running.
- Always switch off the machine and remove the
plug before repairing any faults or removing
jammed pieces of wood.
- Always switch off the motor and remove the plug
before carrying out any conversions or adjust-
ment, measurement and cleaning work.
- Before switching on, check that the spanners and
adjustment tools have been removed.
Warning! During operation, this power tool produces
an electromagnetic field. Under certain circumstanc-
es, this field may negatively affect active or passive
medical implants. In order to reduce the danger of
serious or fatal injuries, we recommend that individ-
uals who wear medical implants should consult their
doctor and the manufacturer of the implant before op-
erating the power tool.
Safety instructions for handling saw blades
1. Only use tools which you know how to handle.
2. Pay attention to the maximum speed. The max-
imum speed stated on the tool being used must
not be exceeded. Keep within the speed range if
one is specified
3. Note the direction of rotation of the motor and saw
blade.
4. Do not use any insertion tools with cracks. Sort
out cracked insertion tools. Repairs are not per-
mitted.
5. Clean grease, oil and water off of the clamping
surfaces.
6. Do not use any loose reducing rings or bushes to
reduce holes on circular saw blades.
