ing to operate this product and save these
instructions.
WORK AREA SAFETY
- Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents
- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock
- Do not operate the power tool near ammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
-Is required remove cut-off or other parts of
workpieces from the cutting area when the
appliance is running and the cutting head is in
the operating position.
-Remove all cutting from the work surface ensur-
ing it is completely clean.
CLOTHING AND PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
- Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts
- Non-skid footwear is recommended when work-
ing outdoors.
- Wear personal protective equipment. Depend-
ing on application, use face shield, safety
goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear
dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and work-
shop apron capable of stopping small abrasive
or workpiece fragments
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
- Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges or re-
frigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded
- 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 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
increase the risk of electric shock.
- When operating the power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
- Check the state of the power cord. Damaged
or tangled cables increase the risk of electric
shock.
- If the connection to the mains has been dam-
aged, it must be replaced, take the appliance to
an authorised technical support service. Do not
attempt to disassemble or repair the appliance
by yourself in order to avoid a hazard.
- Inspect extensions cords periodically and
replace if damaged.
- Maintain power 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 damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools
- Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained
- Any misuse or failure to follow the instructions
for use renders the guarantee and the manufac-
turer's liability null and void.
- Take the appliance to an authorised technical
support service if product is damaged or other
problems arise. Do not attempt to disassemble
or repair the appliance yourself as this may be
dangerous.
- Check damaged parts. Before further use of
tool, it should be carefully checked to determine
that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function
- A guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorized
service centre unless otherwise indicated in this
instructions manual.
- Do not use the power tool if the switch does not

turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired
- Do not use accessories which are not speci-
cally designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer. Just because the accessory
can be attached to your power tool, it does not
assure safe operation.
- Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained
PERSONAL SAFETY
- Stay alert, watch you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under
the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury
-Use clamps or another practical way to se-
cure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by your hand or
against the body leaves it unstable and may
lead to loss of control
USE AND CARE
-This machine may only be started and operated
by persons familiar with crosscut saws and
are aware of the dangers associated with the
operation of crosscut saws. Persons under 18
years of age may use this machine only in the
course of their vocationally training, under the
supervision of an instruction.
-These operating instructions are intended
for people with basic technical knowledge
regarding the operation of a machine like this.
Inexperienced persons are strongly advised
to seek competent advice and guidance from
an experienced person before operating this
machine.
-Keep bystanders, particularly children, out of
the danger zone. Do not permit other persons
to touch the machine or power cable while it is
running
- Do not let persons, especially children, not
involved in the work touch the appliance or the
extension cord and keep them away from the
work area.
- When not in use, the appliance should be
stored in a dry locked-up place, put of reach of
children.
- Use the right the appliance. Do not force small
appliances to do the job of a heavy-duty tool.
- Do not use the appliance for purposes not
intended, for example do not use circular saws
to cut tree limbs or logs.
- If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control
-Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing accessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may ei-
ther break or increase the chance for kickback.
-Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil
and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery
causing loss of control.
- Disconnect the appliance from the mains when
not in use and before undertaking any cleaning
task.
- Unplug the appliance from the mains before
replacing any accessory.
- 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
- Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
the power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools
with your nger on the switch or energizing pow-
er tools that have the switch on invites accidents
- Never use the machine without guard. Keep
guards in place.
-Always keep sufcient distance to the saw
blade. Use suitable feeding aids, if necessary.
Keep sufcient distance to driven components
when operating the machine.
-Wait for the saw blade to come to a complete
stop before removing cutoffs, scrap, etc, from
the work area.
-Do not attempt to stop the saw blade by pushing
the work piece against its side.
-Ensure that when turning ON no tools or loose
parts are left on or in the machine.
-Wear gloves when changing the cutting blade
-Store the saw blade(s) in such manner that
nobody can get hurt.
-Ensure that riving knife is correctly set when

working in table saw mode.
-Do not jam work pieces.
-Make sure the saw blade is suitable for the work
piece material.
-Cut thin or thin-walled work pieces only with
netoothed saw blades.
-Always use sharp saw blades.
-If in doubt, check work piece for inclusion of
foreign matter (e.g. nails or screws)
-Cut only stock of dimensions that allow for safe
and secure holding while cutting.
-Never cut bundes or more than one work pieces
at a same time the individual pieces cannot be
properly secured and controlled. Risk of person-
al injury if individual pieces are caught by the
saw blade uncontrolled.
-Never attempt to cut any work pieces which
contain: ropes, strings, cords, cables or wires,
or to which any of the above are attached.
-Minimize the amount of wood dust escaping
from the machine and the job site to the envi-
ronment. (Remove wood dust deposit, x any
leakages on the dust collector, ensure good
ventilation…)
-Make sure the riving knife is not bend. A bent
riving knife will push the work piece against the
side of the saw blade, causing noise.

SAW BLADE CHANGE (FIG.19-21)
DANGER:
-Right after cutting the saw blade may be very
hot – burning hazard! Let a hot saw blade cool
down. Do not clean a hot saw blade with any
combustible liquids.
-Risk of injury, even with the saw blade at
standstill. When loosening and tightening the
arbor bolt (E1), the retractable blade guard must
encompass the saw blade. Wear gloves when
changing blades.
-1. Set the track arm holder to 0° (vertical) and
tighten the bevel tilt lock screw.
-2. Loosen the nut holding the blade guard and
take the blade guard off. Take upper saw table
off.
-3. To keep the saw blade from turning, pull the
saw blade lock (D1) forward. At the same time
slowly turn the saw blade by hand until the saw
blade lock engages.

tend to corrode the light metal components of
the machine; the stability of the saw could be
compromised.
-9. Put the inner blade ange (E3) arbor washer
(E4) on the saw spindle.
-DANGER: Fit the inner blade ange correctly!
Otherwise the saw might jam, or the saw blade
might work itself loose! The inner blade ange
is in the correct position when the chamfered
collar (Q1) points to the right and the spring ring
groove points to the left (Fig.21).
-10.Mount the new saw blade (18)- and pay
attention to the direction (the arrow on the saw
blade must point in the same direction as the
arrow on the blade guard)!
-DANGER: Use only saw blades conforming to
standards and which are designed for the maxi-
mum speed (see “Technical specication”).
-Do not use:
-Incorrect size blades
-Saw blades made of high speed steel (HSS);
-Damaged saw blades;
-Cut off wheel blades.
DANGER:
-Mount the saw blade using only OEM parts.
-Do not use loose-tting reduction rings; the saw
blade could work itself loose.
-Saw blades have to be mounted in such way
that they do not wobble and cannot work them-
selves loose during operation.
-11. Install the outer blade ange (E3)
-the two anks must t over the ats of the saw
spindle.
-12. Insert the arbor bolt (E1) (left-handed
thread) and tighten it with the Allen key nger-
tight.

the wrench.
-13. Install the blade guard and tighten the nut
holding the blade guard.
-14. Check the function:
-The retractable blade guard must open without
touching the saw blade.
-When returning the sawhead to starting position
the retractable blade guard must automatically
encompass the saw blade.
-In the upper starting position of the sawhead
the safety lock must lock the retractable blade
guard to prevent unintentional opening.
-Check the saw blade lock – the saw blade must
turn freely.
REPLACING THE KERF PLATE
-DANGER! If the kerf plate is damaged, small
parts may become stuck between kerf plate and
the saw blade and cause the saw blade to jam.
Replace a damaged kerf plate immediately!

(Fig.7).

PRECAUCIONES DE SEGURI-
DAD
- ¡ATENCIÓN! Cuando se utilicen herramien-
tas eléctricas, deben adoptarse siempre las
precauciones de seguridad básicas, inclui-
das las siguientes, a n de reducir el riesgo
de incendio, descargas eléctricas y lesiones
personales.
- Lea todas estas instrucciones antes de utili-
zar el producto y guarde las instrucciones.
SEGURIDAD DEL PUESTO DE TRABAJO
- Mantenga el área de trabajo limpia y bien ilumi-
nada. Las áreas desordenadas y oscuras son

El mero hecho de que sea acoplable un acceso-
rio a su herramienta eléctrica no implica que su
utilización resulte segura.
- Haga reparar su herramienta eléctrica por un
profesional, empleando exclusivamente piezas
de repuesto originales. Así se garantiza el man-
tenimiento de la seguridad de la herramienta
eléctrica
SEGURIDAD PERSONAL
- Esté atento a lo que hace y emplee la herra-
mienta eléctrica con prudencia. No utilice una
herramienta eléctrica si se encuentra cansado o
bajo la inuencia de drogas, alcohol o medi-
camentos. Un instante de descuido mientras
trabaja con herramientas eléctricas puede
provocar lesiones personales graves
-Utilice abrazaderas u otra forma práctica de
asegurar y sujetar la pieza de trabajo en una
plataforma estable. Si sujeta la pieza con la
mano o contra el cuerpo no tendrá estabilidad y
puede perder el control de la misma.
UTILIZACIÓN Y CUIDADOS
-Sólo personas familiarizadas con sierras circu-
lares y que conozcan los peligros relacionados
con el funcionamiento de dichas sierras pueden
poner en marcha y utilizar esta máquina. Las
personas menores de 18 años pueden utilizar
esta máquina por motivos formativos sólo bajo
la supervisión de un experto.
-Estas instrucciones de funcionamiento están di-
rigidas a personas con conocimientos técnicos
básicos sobre el funcionamiento de máquinas
como ésta. Se recomienda encarecidamente a
las personas sin experiencia que consulten con
un experto antes de utilizar esta máquina.
-Mantenga a los espectadores, especialmente
a los niños, alejados de la zona de peligro. No
permita que otras personas toquen la máquina
ni el cable de alimentación cuando la máquina
esté en funcionamiento.
- No permita que personas, especialmente niños,
que no participen en el trabajo, toquen el apa-
rato o el cable de prolongación y manténgalos
fuera del área de trabajo.
- Cuando no lo utilice, el aparato debería guar-
darse en un lugar seco, cerrado y fuera del
alcance de los niños.
- Utilice el aparato correctamente. No utilice apa-
ratos pequeños para realizar el trabajo de una
herramienta para trabajos pesados.
- No utilice el aparato para nalidades no ade-
cuadas; por ejemplo, no utilice sierras circulares
para cortar ramas o troncos de árbol.
- Si se incluyen dispositivos para la conexión de
accesorios de extracción y recogida de polvo,
compruebe que estén bien conectados y que se
utilizan correctamente. El uso de un accesorio
de recogida de polvo puede reducir los peligros
relacionados con la presencia de polvo.
- No trabajar a una distancia excesiva. Mantenga
en todo momento una postura rme y equilibra-
da. Ello le permitirá controlar mejor la herra-
mienta eléctrica en caso de presentarse una
situación inesperada.
- Mantener las herramientas de corte aladas y
limpias. Unas herramientas de corte en buen
estado, con unos bordes bien alados, son más
difíciles de doblar y se controlan mejor
-Siga las instrucciones de lubricación,
tensión de la cadena y cambio de acceso-
rios. Una cadena mal lubricada o mal tensada
puede romperse o aumentar la probabilidad de
retroceso.
-Mantenga las empuñaduras secas, limpias
y libres de aceite y grasa. Las empuñaduras
grasientas y aceitosas son resbaladizas y pro-
vocan una pérdida de control.
