J

Ear protectors reduce the risk of be-

coming hard of hearing in later life.

J

Breathing or dust masks reduce the

risk of breathing in hazardous dusts.

J

Wear protective gloves when

handling saw blades and rough
materials.

J

Saw blades must be carried in a container

wherever possible.

J

Connect a dust collection system to the circular

saw when sawing wood.

J

Do not use HSS saw blades (high-alloy high-

speed steel).

J

The push stick must always be kept in the vicini-

ty of the machine.

Operating the machine safely:

J

Use the push stick to guide the workpiece safely

past the saw blade.

J

Use the riving knife and keep it correctly set.

J

Use the blade guard and keep it correctly set.

J

Do not carry out any rebating or grooving un-

less a suitable guard, such as a tunnel guard,
is attached to the saw table.

J

The circular saw must not be used for slotting

(a groove ending in the workpiece).

J

Only use saw blades that have a highest per-

missible speed not less than the maximum shaft
speed (rated speed of the table saw and the
workpiece being sawn).

J

Transport the machine by the provided handling

points only; do not use the guards to handle or
move the machine.

J

The top part of the saw blade must be covered

by the saw blade guard during transport.

J

Securing the workpiece. Curved or
round workpieces must be secured against slip-
ping during sawing. If necessary use special
clamps.

J

Do not saw any material containing
asbestos.
Asbestos is a known carcinogen.

J

Take precautions when working with
dusts which may be hazardous to
health, combustible or explosive. For
example: Some dusts are classed as

carcinogenic. Wear a dust mask and use a
dust or chipping extraction device, if one can
be connected.

J

Keep your working area clean.
Mixtures of materials can be particularly danger-
ous. Light metal alloy dust may burn or explode.

J

Never leave the electric power tool
before it comes to a complete stand-
still
. An on-running blade might injure somebody.

J

Do not use the electrical power tool if
it has a damaged mains lead. Do not
touch the damaged lead. Pull the
mains plug out of the socket if the
mains lead becomes damaged dur-
ing use.
Damaged mains leads increase the
risk of electric shock.

J

If you use the electrical power tool
outdoors, always connect it through
a residual current device (RCD).

J

Connect the electrical power tool to a
properly earthed power circuit.
Sock-
ets and extension leads must have properly
functioning earth contacts.

J

Do not stand on the electrical power
tool.
Serious injuries could result if the table
tips over or you inadvertently come into con-
tact with the saw blade.

J

Ensure that the blade guard is prop-
erly positioned.
It must always lie against
the workpiece when you are sawing.

J

Keep your hands clear of the saw
blade and away from the area
around the saw.
Contact with the saw
blade may result in injury.

J

Never reach behind the sawblade to
hold the workpiece, remove sawdust
or for any other reason.
Your hand is
too close to the rotating sawblade when you
do this.

J

Just guide the workpiece up to the
rotating sawblade.
Otherwise there is the
danger of kickback if the saw blade gets
caught in the workpiece.

J

Use the electrical power tool only if
the working area is clear of all set-
ting tools, sawdust etc. apart from
the workpiece.
Any small pieces of wood
