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 cutter in the vicinity of the starting
³
aperture underneath the base plate.
Touching the part of the cutter that protrudes
³
underneath the workpiece when cutting.
Touching the following rotating parts from the
³
side: cutter, front flange, flange screw.
Machine kicks back if the blade gets stuck in the
³
workpiece.
Breakage of the cutter and risk of the cutter or
³
pieces of the cutter 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 when in use. You should
therefore always follow the safety
instructions set out in this chapter,
as well as the safety regulations
applicable in the country of use!
General instructions:
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.
Children and young persons must not operate
³
this device. This rule does not apply to young
persons receiving training and being supervised
by an expert.
Prior to all work, make sure that the safety and
³
operating equipment is securely attached,
undamaged and in good working condition, and
that the retractable saw guard does not jam.
Always be aware of environmental influences.
³
Do not allow the machine to be exposed to the
rain and do not use the machine in a damp or
wet environment, or in the vicinity of inflam-
mable liquids or gases.
When operating the machine outdoors, use of
³
an earth-leakage circuit-breaker is recom-
mended.
Do not carry the machine by the cable and do
³
not remove the mains plug from the socket by
pulling on the cable.
Protect the cable against oil and high tempera-
³
tures and do not pull it over any sharp edges.
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.
Only use cutters with the technical data stated in
³
this manual.
Store the machine in the dry under lock and key
³
and out of reach of children.
Instructions on the use of personal safety equip-
ment:
Always wear close-fitting industrial clothing and
³
remove rings, bracelets and watches.
The sound pressure level at the workplace
³
exceeds 85 dB (A). Users should therefore wear
ear protectors.
Instructions on operation:
Provide an uncluttered, anti-slip location with
³
adequate illumination.
Before tool changes, making adjustments and
³
eliminating malfunctions (including the removal
of trapped splinters), pull out the mains plug.
Never work with pieces which are too big or too
³
small for the machine´s capacity.
The retractable lower guard must not be
³
arrested when open.
The switch must not be clamped in position.
³
Before switching on, make sure that the cutter
³
ist tightly secured and that the Allen key have
been removed.
Whenever possible, secure the workpiece
³
against slipping (e. g. with screw clamps).
