Safety instructions

When using stationary power tools, always observe the safety
regulations applicable in your country to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and personal injury.
Read all of this manual carefully before operating the tool.
Save this manual for future reference.
General
1 Keep work area clean
Cluttered areas and benches can cause accidents.
2 Consider work area environment
Do not expose the tool to rain. Do not use the tool in damp or wet
conditions. Keep the work area well lit (250 - 300 Lux). Do not use the
tool where there is a risk of causing fire or explosion, e.g. in the
presence of flammable liquids and gases.
3 Keep children away
Do not allow children, visitors or animals to come near the work area or
to touch the tool or the mains cable.
4 Dress properly
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these can be caught in
moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to keep long hair out of the
way. When working outdoors, preferably wear suitable gloves and
non-slip footwear.
5 Personal protection
Always use safety glasses. Use a face or dust mask whenever the
operations may produce dust or flying particles. If these particles might
be considerably hot, also wear a heat-resistant apron. Wear ear
protection at all times. Wear a safety helmet at all times.
6 Guard against electric shock
Prevent body contact with earthed or surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators,
cookers and refrigerators). When using the tool under extreme
conditions (e.g. high humidity, when metal swarf is being produced,
etc.), electric safety can be improved by inserting an isolating
transformer or a (FI) earth-leakage circuit-breaker.
7 Do not overreach
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
8 Stay alert
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the
tool when you are tired.
9 Secure workpiece
Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. It is safer and it frees both
hands to operate the tool.
10 Connect dust extraction equipment
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure that these are connected and properly used.
11 Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
Always check that adjusting keys and wrenches are removed from the
tool before operating the tool.
12 Extension cables
Before use, inspect the extension cable and replace if damaged.
When using the tool outdoors, only use extension cables intended for
outdoor use and marked accordingly.
13 Use appropriate tool
The intended use is described in this instruction manual. Do not force
small tools or attachments to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. The tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.
Do not force the tool.
Warning! The use of any accessory or attachment or performance of
any operation with this tool other than those recommended in this
instruction manual may present a risk of personal injury.
14 Check for damaged parts
Before use, carefully check the tool and mains cable for damage.
Check for misalignment and seizure of moving parts, breakage of
parts, damage to guards and switches and any other conditions that
may affect its operation.
Ensure that the tool will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Do not use the tool if any part is damaged or defective.
Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Have any
damaged or defective parts replaced by an authorised D
agent. Never attempt any repairs yourself.
15 Unplug tool
Switch off and wait for the tool to come to a complete standstill before
leaving it unattended. Unplug the tool when not in use, before changing
any parts of the tools, accessories or attachments and before servicing.
16 Avoid unintentional starting
Be sure that the tool is switched off before plugging in.
17 Do not abuse cord
Never pull the cord to disconnect from the socket. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil and sharp edges.
18 Store idle tools
When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry place and locked up
securely, out of reach of children.
19 Maintain tools with care
Keep the tools in good condition and clean for better and safer
performance. Follow the instructions for maintenance and changing
accessories. Keep all handles and switches dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
20 Repairs
This tool is in accordance with the relevant safety regulations.
Have your tool repaired by an authorised D
Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons using original
spare parts; otherwise this may result in considerable danger to the user.
Additional safety rules for table saws
21 Saw blades
Make sure that the blade rotates in the correct direction. Keep the
blade sharp. Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than
recommended. For proper blade rating refer to the technical data.
Use only the blades specified in this manual, complying with EN 847-1.
Do not use any adapters or arbor rings.
22 Blade guards
Never operate the saw without the guards in place.
23 Maintenance of the blade blade flanges
Make sure that the blade is not damaged or cracked and that the blade
flanges are clean on the surfaces of contact. Use both wrenches to
tighten.
24 Riving knife
Make sure that the riving knife is adjusted to the correct distance from
the blade - 3-5 mm. Use only the original riving knife.
25 Push stick/push block
Use a push stick or push block at all times, and ensure that you do not
place hands closer than 150 mm from the saw blade while cutting.
26 Material
Do not use the saw for cutting any material other than solid wood,
chipboard, fibreboard and plywood. These materials may be covered
with a plastic edging or plastic/light alloy laminates.
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.
