Safety information

General power tool safety warnings

WARNING : Read all safety warnings, instruc-tions, illustrations and technical data provided with this power tool. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may re-sult in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future ref-erence. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operat-ed (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive at-mospheres, such as in the presence of flam-mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while op-erating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Nev-er modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords in-crease the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or med-ication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, en-sure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of power tools allow you to become compla-cent and ignore power tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

Power tool use and care

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can-not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detacha-ble, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing parts of insert tools, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools and insert tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If dam-aged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Service

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety instructions for table saws

Guarding related warnings

• Keep guards in place. Guards must be in work-ing order and be properly mounted. A guard that is loose, damaged, or is not functioning cor-rectly must be repaired or replaced.
• Always use saw blade guard, riving knife and for every through–cutting operation. For through-cutting operations where the saw blade cuts completely through the thickness of the work-piece, the guard and other safety devices help re-duce the risk of injury.
• After completing working procedures where the removal of the protective cover and/or riv-ing knife is necessary (e.g. producing folds and rebating, cutting grooves or cutting with a turnover), the protective system must be im-mediately reattached. The guard helps to reduce the risk of injury.
• Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the guard, riving knife or the workpiece before the switch is turned on. Inadvertent contact of these items with the saw blade could cause a hazardous condition.
• Adjust the riving knife as described in this in-struction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in reducing the likelihood of kickback.
• For the riving knife to work, they must be en-gaged in the workpiece. The riving knife are inef-fective when cutting workpieces that are too short to be engaged with the riving knife. Under these conditions a kickback cannot be prevented by the riving knife.
• Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife. For the riving knife to function properly, the saw blade diameter must match the appropriate riving knife and the body of the saw blade must be thinner than the thickness of the riving knife and the cutting width of the saw blade must be wider than the thickness of the riving knife.

Safety information for sawing

• DANGER : Do not place your hands and fingers in the sawing area or close to the saw blade. A moment of carelessness or a slip could steer your hand towards the saw blade and result in se-rious injuries.
• Only guide the workpiece against the rotation-al direction of the saw blade or cutting tool. Guiding the workpiece in the same direction as the rotational direction of the saw blade above the ta-ble can lead to the workpiece and your hand being drawn into the saw blade.
• When performing longitudinal cuts, never use the mitre stop to guide the workpiece, and when transverse cutting with the mitre stop never additionally use the parallel stop for lon-gitudinal adjustment. Simultaneously guiding the workpiece with the parallel stop and mitre stop increases the probability that the saw blade will jam and kickback will result.
• When performing longitudinal cuts, always apply the feed force to the workpiece between the stop rail and the saw blade. Use a push rod if the distance between the stop rail and saw blade is less than 150 mm, and a push block if the distance is less than 50 mm. This type of working aid ensures that your hands remain a safe distance from the saw blade.
• Only use the push rod provided by the manu-facturer, or a push rod that has been produced in accordance with instructions. The push rod ensures a sufficient distance between the hand and saw blade.
• Never use a damaged or partially sawn push rod. A damaged push rod may break and lead to your hand running into the saw blade.
• Never work “freehand”. Always use the paral-lel stop or the mitre stop to position and guide the workpiece. “Freehand” means supporting or guiding the workpiece with the hands, rath-er than using the parallel stop or mitre stop. Free-handed sawing leads to incorrect alignment, jamming and kickback.
• Never reach around or over a turning saw blade. Reaching for a workpiece can lead to acci-dental contact with the rotating saw blade.
• Support long and/or wide workpieces at the rear and/or side of the saw table, so that they remain horizontal. Long and/or wide workpieces tend to tilt at the edge of the saw table; this leads to a loss of con-trol, jamming of the saw blade and kickback.
• Guide the workpiece steadily and evenly. Do not bend or twist the workpiece. If the saw blade jams, switch off the electric tool imme-diately, unplug the mains plug and remedy the cause of the jam. If the saw blade is jammed by the workpiece, this can lead to kickback or block the motor.
• Do not remove partially sawn material whilst the saw is running. Partially sawn material can stick between the saw blade and stop rail or in the protective cover, and may draw your fingers into the saw blade during removal. Switch the saw off and wait until the saw blade has come to a stand-still, before removing the material.
• For longitudinal cuts on workpieces that are thinner than 2 mm, use an additional parallel stop that is in contact with the table surface. Thin workpieces can wedge under the parallel stop and lead to kickback.

Kickback  causes and corresponding safety instructions
Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece to a catching or jamming saw blade, or a cut created in the workpiece at an angle to the saw blade, or if part of the workpiece becomes jammed between the saw blade and the parallel stop, or another stationary object. In the majority of cases, with kickback the workpiece is caught by the rear part of the saw blade, lifted off the saw table and thrust in the direction of the operator. Kickback is the result of incorrect or deficient use of the circular table saw. It can be prevented by suitable precautionary measures, as described in the following.

• Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always stand at the side of the saw blade on which the stop rail is located. With kickback, the workpiece may be thrust at high speed towards those persons who stand in front of, or in line with the saw blade.
• Never reach over or behind the saw blade to pull or support the workpiece. This can result in accidental contact with the saw blade, or kickback can lead to your fingers being drawn into the saw blade.
• Never hold and push the workpiece against the turning saw blade during sawing. Pushing the workpiece against the saw blade during sawing will lead to jamming and kickback.
• Align the stop rail parallel to the saw blade. A stop rail that is not aligned will push the work-piece against the saw blade and create kickback.
• With concealed saw cuts (e.g. folds, grooves or slits in the turning process), use a thrust collar to guide the workpiece against the ta-ble and stop rail. Using a thrust collar, you are able to better control the workpiece in the event of kickback.
• Apply particular caution when sawing assem-bled workpieces in areas that are not visible. The plunging saw blade can saw into objects that could cause a kickback.
• Support large panels, in order to avoid the risk of kickback due to a jammed saw blade. Large panels may bend under their own weight. Panels must be supported in all areas where they over-hang the table surface.
• Apply particular caution when sawing work-pieces that are twisted, knotted or warped, or that do not have a straight edge that can be used to guide them with a mitre stop or along a stop rail. A twisted, knotted or warped workpiece is unstable and results in incorrect alignment of the kerf with the saw blade, jamming and kickback.
• Never saw multiple workpieces stacked on top of each other, or one behind the other. The saw blade could engage in one or more parts and result in kickback.
• If you wish to restart a saw, the saw blade of which is inserted in a workpiece, centre the saw blade in the sawing gap so that the saw teeth are not hooked in the workpiece. If the saw blade is jammed, it can lift the workpiece and cause kickback when the saw is restarted.
• Always keep saw blades clean, sharp and suf-ficiently set. Never use warped saw blades or saw blades with cracked or broken teeth. Sharp and correctly set saw blades minimise jam-ming, blocking and kickback.

Safety instructions for the operation of circular table saws

• Switch off the circular table saw and discon-nect it from the power supply before removing the table insert, changing the saw blade, im-plementing settings on the riving knife or the saw blade protective cover, and if the machine is left unattended. Precautionary measures serve to prevent accidents.
• Never leave the circular table saw running unattended. Switch off the electric tool and do not leave it until it has come to a complete standstill. An unattended running saw poses an uncontrolled risk.
• Set up the circular table saw in a location that is level and well ventilated, and where it can stand safely and remain balanced. The instal-lation site must provide sufficient space for easily handling the size of your workpieces. Disorganised and unlit working areas, and uneven, slippery floors may lead to accidents.
• Regularly remove chips and sawdust from be-neath the saw table and/or from the dust ex-traction system. Accumulated sawdust is flam-mable and can self-ignite.
• Secure the circular table saw. If a circular table saw is not secured correctly, it can move or topple.
• Remove the adjustment tools, wood residues, etc. from the circular table saw before switch-ing it on. Deflections and possible jams could be dangerous.
• Always use the right size of saw blade and an appropriate location hole (e.g. dia-mond-shaped or round). Saw blades that do not fit with the mounting parts of the saw will run out-of-centre and result in a loss of control.
• Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade mounting materials, such as flanges, washers, screws or nuts. These saw blade mounting ma-terials have been specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and operational safety.
• Never stand on the circular table saw and do not use it as a step stool. Serious injuries can arise if the electric tool topples or if you accidental-ly come into contact with the saw blade.
• Make sure that the saw blade is mounted in the correct direction of rotation. Do not use grind-ing discs or wire brushes with the circular ta-ble saw. Incorrect assembly of the saw blade or the use of accessories that have not been recom-mended can result in serious injuries.

Safety instructions for the handling of saw blades

1. Only use insertion tools if you have mastered their use.
2. Observe the maximum speed. The maximum speed specified on the insertion tool may not be exceeded. If specified, observe the speed range.
3. Observe the motor / saw blade direction of ro-tation.
4. Do not use any insertion tools with cracks. Sort out cracked insertion tools. Repairs are not permitted.
5. Clean grease, oil and water off of the clamping surfaces.
6. Do not use any loose reducing rings or bushes for the reducing of holes on saw blades.
7. Make sure that fixed reducer rings for securing the insertion tool have the same diameter and have at least 1/3 of the cutting diameter.
8. Make sure that fixed reducer rings are parallel to each other.
9. Handle insertion tool with caution. They are ideally stored in the originally package or special contain-ers. Wear protective gloves in order to improve grip and to further reduce the risk of injury.
10. Prior to the use of insertion tools, make sure that all protective devices are properly fastened.
11. Prior to use, make sure that the insertion tool meets the technical requirements of this electric tool and is properly fastened.
12. Only use the supplied saw blade for sawing oper-ations in wood, materials similar to wood, plastics and non-ferrous metals (except for magnesium and alloys containing magnesium).
13. Use the saw blade intended for the material to be processed.
14. Use only a saw blade with a diameter that matches the specifications on the saw.
15. Use only saw blades that are marked with an equal or higher rotational speed than that marked on the power tool.
16. Use only saw blades recommended by the manu-facturer which conform to EN 847-1, if intended for cutting wood or similar materials.
17. Wear suitable personal protective equipment, such as:
    • hearing protection;
    • protective gloves when handling saw blades.
18. Use only saw blades recommended by the man-ufacturer which conform to EN 847-1. Warning!When changing the saw blade, make sure that the cutting width is not smaller and the thickness of the saw blade is not greater than the thickness of the splitter.
19. When sawing wood and plastics, avoid overheat-ing the saw teeth. Reduce the feed speed to avoid the plastic melting.

Residual risks
The machine has been built according to the state of the art and the recognised technical safety re-quirements. However, individual residual risks can arise during operation. Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use of improper electrical connection cables.

• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been met, some non-obvious residual risks may still re-main.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the „safety in-structions“ and the „Proper use“ are observed along with the whole of the operating instructions.
• Do not load the machine unnecessarily: excessive pressure when sawing will quickly damage the saw blade, which results in reduced output of the ma-chine in the processing and in cut precision.
• Avoid accidental starting of the machine: the oper-ating button may not be pressed when inserting the plug in an outlet.
• Use the tool that is recommended in this manual. In doing so, your saw provides optimal performance.
• Hands may never enter the processing zone when the machine is in operation. Release the handle button and switch off the machine prior to any op-erations.

Prior to any adjustment, maintenance or service work disconnect the mains power plug!

Operation

Working instructions
After each new adjustment it is advisable to carry out a trial cut in order to check the set dimensions. After switching on the saw, wait for the blade to reach its maximum speed of rotation before commencing with the cut. Secure long workpieces against falling off at the end of the cut (e.g. with a roller stand etc.)

Take extra care when starting the cut!
Never use the equipment without the suction function. Regularly check and clean the suction channels.

Suitability of the saw blades:

• 24 teeth: soft materials, large chip depth, coarse cut profile
• 48 teeth: hard materials, small chip depth, fine cut profile

Making longitudinal cuts (fig. 19)

Longitudinal cutting (also known as slitting) is when you use the saw to cut along the grain of the wood. Press one edge of the workpiece against the parallel stop (15) while the flat side lies on the saw table (1). The blade guard (4) must always be lowered over the workpiece. When you make a longitudinal cut, never adopt a work-ing position that is in line with the cutting direction.

• Set the parallel stop (15) in accordance with the workpiece height and the desired width. (See 9.4)
• Switch on the saw.
• Place your hands (with fingers closed) flat on the workpiece and push the workpiece along the paral-lel stop (15) and into the blade (3).
• Guide at the side with your left or right hand (de-pending on the position of the parallel stop) only as far as the front edge of the saw blade guard (4).
• Always push the workpiece through to the end of the splitter (6).
• The offcut piece remains on the saw table (1) until the blade (3) is back in its position of rest.
• Secure long workpieces against falling off at the end of the cut (e.g. with a roller stand etc.) (e.g. roller table etc.)

Cutting narrow workpieces (fig. 20)

Be sure to use a push stick (9) when making longitudi-nal cuts in workpieces smaller than 120 mm in width. A push block is supplied with the saw! Replace a worn or damaged push stick immediately.

• Adjust the parallel stop to the width of workpiece you require. (see 9.4)
• Feed in the workpiece with two hands. Always use the push stick (9) in the area of the saw blade.
• Always push the workpiece through to the end of the splitter.

Caution! With short workpieces, use the push stick from the beginning.

Making angular cuts (fig. 21)
Angular cuts must always be made using the parallel stop (15).

• Set the blade to the desired angle. (See 9.3)
• Set the parallel stop (15) in accordance with the workpiece width and height (see 9.4)
• Carry out the cut in accordance with the workpiece width (see 10.1).

Making cross cuts (fig. 22)

• Slide the cross stop (7) into one of the grooves (31a/b) in the table and adjust to the required an-gle. (see 9.5). If you also want to tilt the blade (3), use the groove (31a) which prevents your hand and the cross stop from making contact with the blade guard.
• Use the stop rail.
• Press the workpiece firmly against the cross stop (7).
• Switch on the saw.
• Push the cross stop (7) and the workpiece toward the blade in order to make the cut.
• Important: Always hold the guided part of the workpiece. Never hold the part which is to be cut off.
• Push the cross stop (7) forward until the workpiece is cut all the way through.
• Switch off the saw again. Do not remove the offcut until the blade has stopped rotating.

Cutting particle boards
To prevent the cutting edges from cracking when work-ing with particle boards, you should not set the saw blade (3) more than 5mm greater than the thickness of the workpiece (also see 9.2).
