Safety instructions

Please follow these instructions to protect yourself and other persons against any injury.

1. Operate the circular bench saw only on – hard
   – even
   – non-slip
   – non-vibrating surface.
   Remove any items from the place of your work that could represent a risk of trip. Provide adequate lighting.

2. Wear close-fitting working clothing. Take off any jewels and wristwatch.

3. Wear protective head phones (the acoustic pressure level in the place of work usually exceeds 85 dB(A)).

4. Do not operate the circular bench saw in a moist or wet environment or near flammable liquids and gases.

5. Persons under 18 years of age are prohibited to operate the circular saw.

6. Operate the circular saw only when the protective equipment is installed completely and properly.
   The board splitter included in the supply must be used. The method of adjusting the board splitter can be seen in pic. 17 of the Operating Instructions.

7. Do not use any circular saw blades that are cracked or deformed. The circular saw blade should always be properly sharpened.

8. Do not use high-speed steel (HSS) circular saw blades; tools in accordance with prEN 847-1 to be used only.

9. The operator is liable towards third parties in the place of work.

10. Keep children in a safe distance from the appliance. Never leave the saw unattended.

11. Using grooving equipment and slot milling tools is not allowed.

12. When cutting logs, use equipment securing the cut material against turning around on both sides of the circular saw blade.

13. It is necessary to prevent cuttings from getting caught by the circular saw blade ring gear and being thrown away. Do not remove any chippings, sawdust and waste from the dangerous area around the circular saw blade with hands.

14. Use the shifting rod – see pic. 22 for straight cutting of narrow pieces (distance between the circular saw blade and the parallel stop smaller than 120 mm).

15. If the sawed joint is driven out, replace the bench insert.

16. The appliance must be switched off and unplugged for the following works – repairs
    – servicing and cleaning
    – troubleshooting
    – saw transport
    – circular saw blade replacement
    – when leaving the saw (even for short work interruptions)

17. To ensure perfect and safe operation in enclosed places, the appliance must be connected to the sawdust exhaustion equipment (e.g. small portable vacuum cleaner). Air speed in the exhaust nozzle of at least 20 m per second
    Vacuum: 1.6 kN per m2 (1,600 Pa)

18. Never use a connection line that is defective. Electrical connection or repairs of electrical components of the appliance must be provided by a professional electrician. In doing so, local regulations, in particular, protective measures must be followed.

Using the appliance as designated

• The circular bench saw cannot be used on sites.
• Use the circular saw blade only for straight and transverse cutting of massive wood and board materials such as chipboard, blockboard and fibreboard of a square or rectangle cross-section and use only the CV circular saw blades or hard metal (HM) circular saw blades. Using high-speed steel (HSS) circular saw blades is not allowed. The circular saw blade diameter must be 300 to 315 mm.
• Cross cuts may only be performed using the installed parallel stop.
• To use the appliance as designated, the manufacturer’s conditions regarding the operation, servicing and repairs must be met and the safety instructions included in the Operating Instructions must be followed.
• Any other use of the saw exceeding the specified extent will be considered a use in conflict with the designation. The manufacturer will not be liable for any damage of any kind caused by using the appliance in that manner; the risk will be bore by the user.
• The circular bench saw may only be used, repaired and maintained by persons over 18 years of age. Any metal parts (nails, etc.) must be removed from the cut wood.

Residual risks

Even when the saw is used as designated with all safety provisions being followed, there may be some residual risks induced by the design, subject to the specific purpose of use:

• Risk of injury of fingers and hands by the cutting tool (circular saw blade) or cut material if the saw is handled unprofessionally.
• Injury by a thrown-away piece of the cut material.
• Circular saw blade cracking and throw-away.
• Threat by current when using an optional supply cable.
• Contact with conductive parts of the appliance in case of exposed electrical installation.
• Hearing damage as a result of long working without protective headphones being used.
• Emission of unhealthy wood sawdust when using the appliance without exhaustion.
• Residual risks can be minimised if all safety instructions and instructions given in the “Using the appliance as designated“ Article and the Operating Instructions are followed as a whole.

Noise emission parameters

ISO/TR11638-1995
Acoustic power level idling Lwa = 101.l dB(A) load Lwa =106.84 dB(A)
Acoustic pressure level in the place of work idling Lpa =69.26 dB(A) load Lpa =93.26 dB(A)
The given values are emission values and do not therefore represent safe values in the place of work. Although there is correlation between emission and pollution values, they cannot be a reliable basis for deriving whether or not additional preventive measures are necessary. The factors that may influence the immediate pollution value in the place of work include the duration of effects, specific features of the place of work, other noise sources, e.g.
number of appliances and other neighbouring processes. Reliable values in the place of work may also differ in various countries. However, this information is to help the user better estimate the risk and threat.

Putting the appliance into operation

1. Put the circular bench saw to a place that is:
   – non-slip
   – with no vibrations
   – even
   – with no risk of trip
   – adequately lighted

2. Check the following every time the appliance is to be used:
   – whether there is any damage (cracks, cut-offs, etc.) to the supply cable
   – defective supply cable not to be used
   – check the protection cover whether in proper condition
   – check the circular saw blade whether in perfect condition
   – check whether the shifting rod is at disposal

3. Do not use circular saw blades that are broken or deformed.

4. Do not use high-speed steel circular saw blades.

5. When cutting, stand to the side of the dangerous saw (circular saw blade) area.

Circular saw blade rotation direction

Make sure the circular saw blade rotation direction corresponds to the direction shown on the protection cover (23).

Plugging

• Compare the voltage specified on the appliance type label (at the side of the bench desk), e.g. 230 V, with the line voltage and connect the saw to the appropriate outlet grounded in accordance with applicable regulations.

• AC engine:
  Use an earthing contact outlet, line voltage of 230 V or 400 V with a safety switch against stray current and a 16 A fuse.

• Three-phase engine:
  Use a CEE, + N + P three-pole outlet, line voltage of 380 V or 400V with a safety switch against stray current and a 16 A fuse.
  Use a drop or extension cable according to DIN 57 282(H 07 RN-F) of minimum cable cross-section of

• 1.5 mm2 for a cable length within 25 m

• 2.5 mm2 for a cable length of more than 25 m
