ADDITIONAL SA,ETY INSTRUCTIONS ,FOR TABLE SAW

1. Ensure that other people are kept a safe distance from your workplace. Anyone entering the workplace must wear personal protective gear. Debris from the work piece may be ejected and cause injuries even outside the direct working area.

2. Only use the power tool for those materials specified under intended use. The power tool may otherwise be overloaded.

3. Do not stand on the power tool. There is a risk of serious injury if the power tool tips over or if you accidentally come into contact with the saw blade.

4. Always make sure that the saw &lade guard functions correctly and moves freely. Set the saw blade guard in such a way that if rests gently on the work piece . Never fix the saw blade guard in place.

5. Never &ring your hands into the sawing area when the power tool is running. Contact with the saw blade holds a risk of serious injury.

6. Never reach behind the saw &lade to hold the work piece or to remove shavings. The distance between your hand and the operating saw blade is too small.

7. Only guide the work piece as far as the operating saw &lade. Otherwise there is a risk of kickback if the saw blade becomes jammed in the work piece .

8. Use the power tool only when the work surface is free from all adjusting tools , wood shavings etc. Objects that come into contact with the rotating saw blade may be propelled towards the operator at a high speed.

9. Always saw one work piece at a time. Work pieces that are stacked up or  stacked against each other may block thesaw blade or slide about during sawing .

10. long work pieces must be supported at the free end. Unsupported swinging work piece ends may cause loss of control.

11. Always use the parallel guide. This improves the accuracy of the cut and reduces the possibility of a jammed saw blade.

12. W hen the saw &lade binds, switch the power tool off and do not move the work piece until the saw &lade comes to a complete standstill. In order to prevent kickback, only move the work piece after the saw blade has come to a standstill. Eliminate the cause of the jamming blade before you start the power tool back up again .

13. Do not use accessories that have not been designed and recommended by the manufacturer for this specific power tool. Just because you are able to attach an accessory to your power tool this does not guarantee that it is safe to use .

14. Do not use blunt, cracked, deformed or damaged &lades. Only replace the saw blade with a blade that meets the European norm EN 847-1. The saw blade must meet the specifications given in the technical data section . Blades with blunt or incorrectly oriented teeth will cause increased friction and jamming of the blade as well as kickback.

15. Always make sure that the splitting wedge matches the dimensions of the saw &lade and is correctly aligned. The splitting wedge may not be thicker than the cutting groove width and it may not be thinner than the body of the saw &lade. Otherwise there is a risk that the splitting wedge may get caught in the work piece .

16. Always use &lades with correct size and shape of center hole. Saw blades that do not match the saw will run unevenly and will lead to a loss of control.

17. Do not use saw &lades made from high-alloyed high-speed steel (HSSJ. Such blades may break easily.

18.   Never use the tool without the bench inlays. Replace defective bench inlays. Without a bench inlay in perfect condition , you may injure yourself on the power tool.
