• To minimise the release of dust, the machine
should be connected to a suitable extraction
unit. All dust extraction elements (exhaust
hoods etc.) must be properly set.
•
Wear suitable personal protective
equipment: ear protection to
reduce the risk of hearing loss;
safety goggles; a dust mask to
prevent inhalation of harmful
dust; protective gloves when
working with raw materials and when changing
tools.
• Only transport the tool in suitable packaging.
Maintenance and repair
• Replace worn table inserts.
• Only use the machine if all protection devices
are in their correct positions, the machine is in
good condition and has been well maintained.
• Faults on the machine, including the separating
guards or the tool, must be reported to main-
tenance staff immediately upon discovery. The
machine must not be used until the fault has
been eliminated.
• If the machine is equipped with a laser, ensure
it is always replaced by a laser of the same type.
Repairs must only be made by the laser manu-
facturer or an authorised agent.
Safe work
• Only process material for which the machine
has been approved.
• Never process material contain asbestos.
• Ensure that the fl oor around the machine is
level, clean and free of loose objects (e.g. chips
and offcuts).
• Keep hands, fi ngers and arms well away from
the rotating tool. Never reach into the area of
the saw blade behind the stop.
• Always assume the correct position before start-
ing work:
- front at the operating end,
- facing the machine,
- next to the cutting line.
• Do not remove offcuts or other workpiece parts
from the cutting area while the machine is still
running and until the saw blade stops.
• Use a suitable device to support long workpieces
and ensure that they are horizontal.
• Never allow another person to hold or support
the workpiece when sawing. Always clamp the
workpiece in a suitable device.
• Observe the specifi ed maximum workpiece di-
mensions.
• Observe the instructions for lifting and trans-
porting the machine.
• Observe the instructions for installing and op-
erating the machine.
• Ensure the permissible dimensions of the saw
blade are not exceeded. Never use reducers or
adapters to secure the saw blade on the tool
spindle.
• Do not saw wood containing metal parts such
as nails, screws, etc.
• Do not apply lateral force to the saw blade.
• Always saw only one workpiece. It is not possible
to safely secure several workpieces; they can
displace each other during sawing and block
the saw blade.
• If the saw blade is blocked, switch the machine
off immediately and disconnect the mains plug.
Do not remove the jammed workpiece until you
have done this.
• Always guide the saw unit steadily upwards by
hand after the cut and never release it in the
lower position.
• Never open the pivot guard by hand when work-
ing.

Emission levels
Levels determined in accordance with EN 61029
are typically:
Measured acceleration
Sound pressure level
Noise level
Measuring uncertainty allowance
Wear ear protection.
The emission values specifi ed (vibration, noise)
were measured in accordance with the test con-
ditions stipulated in EN 61029 and are intended
for machine comparisons. They are also used for
making preliminary estimates regarding vibration
and noise loads during operation.
The emission values specifi ed refer to the main
applications for which the power tool is used. If
the electric power tool is used for other applica-
tions, with other tools or is not maintained suf-
fi ciently prior to operation, however, the vibration
and noise load may be higher when the tool is
used. Take into account any machine idling times
and downtimes to estimate these values more
accurately for a specifi ed time period. This may
signifi cantly reduce the load during the machine
operating period.
