explained exactly what to do.

Proper use

This construction circular saw is exclusively designed for
lengthwise and cross cutting of solid wood and plate material
such as chipboard, wood core plywood and MDF plates with
square or rectangular cross section using carbide tipped
circular saw blades acc. to EN 847-1. The saw blade diameter
must be between 300 and 315 mm.
The use of saw blades made of HSS steel (high-alloy high
speed steel) is not permitted since this steel is hard and
brittle. Risk of injury through saw blade breakage and
expulsion of saw blade pieces.
Cross cuts may be performed only with the crossfeed stop in
place.
Only materials that can be safely placed are allowed to be cut.
The intended usage also includes compliance with the
operating, servicing and repair conditions prescribed by the
manufacturer and following the safety instructions included in
the instructions.
Follow the relevant accident prevention rules for operation
and other generally recognised health and safety at work
rules.
Any other use is deemed not to be use as prescribed. The
manufacturer is not liable for any type of damage resulting
from this: the user bears the sole risk.
Unauthorised modifications on the device exclude a liability of
the manufacturer for damages of any kind resulting from it.
Only persons who are familiar with the device and informed
about possible risks are allowed to prepare, operate and
service this device. Repair works may only be carried out by
us or by a customer service agent nominated by us.
This machine must not be used in potential explosive
atmospheres.
Metallic parts (wires etc.) have unconditionally to be removed
from the material to be cut.
Persons under the age of 18 may not operate the saw.

Residual risks

Even if used properly, residual risks can exist even if the relevant
safety regulations are complied with due to the design determined
by the intended purpose.
Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety advices" and the
"Intended usage" as well as the whole of the instructions manual
are observed.
Observing these instructions, and taking proper care, will reduce
the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment.
Risk of injury to fingers and hands by the tool (saw blade) or
work piece. Therefore, wear gloves (e.g. when replacing the
saw blade).
Risk of injury when removing chips while the saw blade still
rotates. Only remove chips after the saw blade and the saw
unit (motor) has come to a standstill.
Injury by catapulted workpiece parts.
Throwback of the workpiece or workpiece parts.
Breakage and expulsion of saw blade.
Only operate the machine with complete and correctly
attached safety equipment and do not alter anything on the
machine that could impair the safety.
Emission of harmful wood dusts. Therefore, wear a dust
mask.
Risk from electricity when using improper electrical
connections.
Touching live parts of opened electrical components.
Impairment of hearing when working on the machine for
longer periods of time without ear protection. Therefore, wear
ear protection.
In addition, in spite of all the precautionary measures taken, non-
obvious residual risks can still exist.

Safety instructions

Woodworking machines can be dangerous if not used
properly. If electrical tools are used, the fundamental safety
precautions must be met to preclude the risks of fire, electric
shock and injuries to persons.
Before starting this device, read and keep to the following
advice. Also observe the preventive regulations of your
professional association
applicable in the respective country, in order to protect
yourself and others from possible injury.
Pass the safety instructions on to all persons who work with
the machine.
Keep these safety instructions in a safe place.
Make yourself familiar with the equipment before using it
by reading and understanding the instructions manual.
Be attentive. Be careful what you do. Behave sensibly
when working. Do not use the device when you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medicaments.
One moment of carelessness when using the device can
result in serious injuries.
Avoid abnormal posture. Provide a safe standing position and
keep at any time the balance. Do not lean forward.
Wear suitable work clothes:
− Do not wear loose-fitting clothes or jewellery; they can
catch in moving parts.
− Slip-proof shoes.
− Hairnet in case of long hair.
Wear personal protective equipment:
− ear protection (Sound intensity level at workplace can
exceed 85 dB (A)).
− safety goggles.
− gloves when you replace the saw blade.
Operate the saw only on
− solid
− level
− slip-free
− vibration-free surface.
To ensure reliable and safe operation in closed rooms, the
circular saw bench must be connected to a sawdust extractor
(e.g. a small portable dust extractor).
− Required air flow rate: approx. 560 m³/h, negative
pressure on the suction nozzle 1880 Pa at an air velocity
of 20 m/s.
− Start the chip exhauster before starting the machining.
