Residual risks

Residual risks may also arise owing
to the design of the machine relat-
ing to its intended purpose even if
the machine is used properly and in
compliance with all relevant safety
regulations; e. g.:
Touching the saw blade in the vicinity of the
³
starting aperture underneath the base plate.
Touching the part of the saw blade that pro-
³
trudes underneath the workpiece when cutting.
Touching the following rotating parts from the
³
side: saw blade, clamping flange and flange
screw.
Machine kicks back if the blade gets stuck in the
³
workpiece.
Breakage of the saw blade and risk of the blade
³
or pieces of the blade being hurled away.
Touching live parts with the housing open and
³
the mains plug not removed.
Hearing can be impaired when working for long
³
periods without ear protectors.
Emission of wood dust: a health hazard when
³
working for long periods without dust extraction.

Safety instructions

Woodworking machines can be
dangerous. You should therefore
always adhere to the following
safety instructions and comply with
the safety regulations applicable in
the country of use!
General instructions:
Children and young persons must not operate
³
this machine. This rule does not apply to young
persons receiving training and being supervised
by an expert.
Never work without the protective equipment
³
prescribed for the relevant operation and do not
make any modifications to the machine that
could undermine safety.
When operating the machine outdoors, use of
³
an earth-leakage circuit-breaker is recom-
mended.
Damaged cables or plugs must be renewed
³
immediately.
Avoid sharp bends in the cable. Especially when
³
transporting and storing the machine, do not
wind the cable around the machine.
Do not use:
³
Cracked and misshapen saw blades.
±
Saw blades made of high speed steel
±
(HSS).
Blunt saw blades which impose an exces-
±
sive load on the motor.
Saw blades with a body that is thicker or a
±
cutting width (set) that is less than the thick-
ness of the riving knife/splitter.
Saw blades which are not suitable for idling
±
speed of the saw blade.
Instructions on the use of personal safety equip-
ment:
The sound pressure level at the workplace
³
exceeds 85 dB (A). Users should therefore wear
ear protectors.
Instructions on operation:
Keep hand away from cutting area and the
³
blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary han-
dle, or motor housing.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
³
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
³
workpiece.
Never hold piece being cut in your hands or
³
across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a sta-
ble platform.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
³
when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
When ripping always use a rip fence or straight
³
edge guide.
Always use blades with correct size and shape
³
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes.
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers
³
or bolt.
