Examples of problems arising from improper
use of the saw bench
• Contactwithrotatingsawblade
• Thiscanoccurwhentheprotectiveelements
(such as the protective hood, the protection
under the table surface, the riving knife, the
push stick) are missing or are used improperly.
Improper operation of the protective elements
can result in accidents. When the machine is
switched off, the saw blade may continue to
rotate. There is a risk of your not noticing this
because the appliance falls silent. That is why
the protective hood is so important.
• Recoiloftheworkpiece
• Whentheworkpiecerecoilsitmayhitthose
in the surrounding area at high speed. This
may result in serious or even fatal injury. The
workpiece may recoil for the following reasons
(oracombinationofthem):
• Thesawdoesnotprotrudefarenoughabove
the table surface, causing the workpiece to be
guided directly into contact with the teeth of
the saw that is itself moving in the direction of
the user.
• Theworkpieceseizesonthesawbecausethe
riving knife is not fitted or incorrectly adjusted.
• Thereisnoauxiliarysawripfence(straight
edge) or it is adjusted incorrectly. Because of
this the wood may become stuck between the
main rip fence and the rotating saw blade.
• Rotatingsawbladebreaks
• Thiscanbecausedbythefollowingfactors:
• Animpropersawingprocedure;
• Animproperlyadjustedsawblade;

• Metalpartsundervoltage
Defective electrical installation may result in
metal parts coming under voltage and causing
fire.
• Damagetohearingwhennoiselevelistoohigh
A noise level that is too high may cause
damage to the hearing of persons who are
often close to the saw bench.
• Releaseofharmfulwooddust.
Release of harmful wood dust or glue vapours
may pose health risks. Connect a vacuum
cleaner to the saw bench.

Electrical safety
When using electric machines always observe the
safety regulations applicable in your country to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal
injury. Read the following safety instructions and
also the enclosed safety instructions.
Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate.
Class ll machine. Your machine is double
insulated; therefore no earthwire is
required.
Replacing cables or plugs
Immediately throw away old cables or plugs
when they have been replaced by new ones. It is
dangerous to insert the plug of a loose cable in
the wall outlet.
Using extension cables
Only use an approved extension cable suitable
for the power input of the machine. The minimum
conductor size is 1.5 mm2. When using a cable
reel always unwind the reel completely.
