4.1.3 Residual Risks
The machine is built according to the latest state of the art and the recognised safety rules. Nevertheless, the
use of the machine may cause danger to life and limb of the user or third parties or damage to the machine and
other equipment.
Due to the construction of the machine, the following residual risks can occur even when used as intended and
despite compliance with all relevant safety regulations:
Reading and applying the operating manual is mandatory for the operating personnel.
Be alert to possible crushing hazards:
a) when transporting the machine by forklift truck →between forks & pallet / machine
b) when picking up the machine →between machine / pallet and floor
c) when lowering the machine →between machine and fixed equipment
Be alert to possible crushing hazards when lowering the machine (from the cargo pallet to the
floor) with a forklift truck or overhead crane.
Make sure that no objects fall from the forklift truck / crane.
Do not leave any objects / tools on the machine.
It is strictly prohibited to ride on the machine during a lifting operation (with the indoor crane or
forklift). There is a danger of falling!
Unauthorised persons are not allowed to enter the installation area of the machine
(responsibility of the operator).
Be aware of the danger of cutting at the saw blade. Never reach into the running saw blade!
Always wear protective gloves when changing a saw blade.
The saw blade guard must be used resp. moved over the saw blade during every cutting oper-
ation. Cutting without using the saw blade guard is strictly prohibited. The wearing of protec-
tive goggles is mandatory.
Be aware of the danger from falling objects such as workpieces, tools or similar. Therefore, wear
safety shoes, especially when transporting and setting down the machine.
Be aware of the risk of injury from flying tool parts in the event of tool breakage.
Therefore wear protective goggles.
Be aware of the risk of injury from flying workpiece parts and chips, splinters and dust coming out
of the machine. Therefore wear protective goggles.
Be aware of the increased noise emission and wear hearing protection.
Be aware of the increased dust generation. Use the extraction device and wear a dust mask if
necessary.
Be aware of a possible danger of being drawn in by moving machine parts or tools. This can cause
pieces of clothing or hair to be caught. Always wear tight-fitting clothing or avoid loose clothing
and wear a hair net if necessary.
Danger of being drawn in and increased risk of injury when wearing watches and jewellery.
Wearing watches and jewellery is prohibited on the tilting spindle moulder.
Never reach into the area between the saw blade guard and the aluminium profile rail (cross-
cut fence). There is a danger of crushing!
Electrical equipment must be maintained and cleaned regularly.
The saw blade guard for mitre cutting (inclined saw blade) is wider and can therefore be
reached earlier by the profile rail. Therefore the danger of splintering exists earlier.
Danger from electric shock! It is strictly forbidden to bypass safety devices (e.g. safety switches).
Danger from electric shock! There are hazards when working on the electrical system.
This work must only be carried out by qualified personnel!
Be aware of the crushing hazard when closing the saw blade guard and the cutting hazard at the

4.3 Safe Working Practices
•Whenever possible, a push stick must be used to prevent working with the hands close to the saw blade.
Observe the danger zone of 120 mm around the saw blade. See also section 4.4 “Hazardous Areas on
the Sliding Table Saw”.
•Always work with all available guards and protective devices! These must be accessible at the right places
and in perfect working order.
•Working position: Always to the side of the saw blade, outside a possible kickback area (= area directly in
front of the saw blade). See also section 4.4 “Hazardous Areas on the Sliding Table Saw”.
•Do not start cutting until the saw blade has reached full speed.
•Set the distance between the saw blade and riving knife to 3 - 8 mm as evenly as possible.
•The riving knife must not be thicker than the kerf width and not thinner than the saw blade body.
•Only use saw blades suitable for the respective operation.
•Do never use damaged saw blades.
•A detachable feeding unit should be used whenever possible. This must be equipped with a separate
on/off switch.
•A removable feeding unit is not a substitute for the riving knife. The riving knife must always remain in-
stalled.
•When using a feeding unit, there must be sufficient space on the removal side in front of stationary obsta-
cles (danger of crushing by the workpiece!).
•The use of the sliding table saw for cutting rebates, tenons or grooves is prohibited unless the part of the
saw blade above the table is effectively secured.
•For “insert cutting”, suitable anti-kickback devices must be fitted. The riving knife has to be removed and
the holder has to be fixed.
•The saw blade guard must be positioned above the saw blade and rest on the workpiece. The saw blade is
then raised by the workpiece to the correct height, the cut is made and the saw blade is lowered again be-
fore the workpiece is removed.
•When cutting concealed, use aids such as an auxiliary fence and a push handle.
•The riving knife must not be removed during “concealed cutting” and “grooving”.

BA_PH_680-200_EN_11-22.docx
19
•If a second person is working at the sliding table saw to remove processed workpieces, this person must
not stand at any other place than at the end of the table extension.
•Use a ram plate on the slide table when “trimming”.
•Use an aluminium profile rail with a narrow contact edge for cutting narrow and low batten.
•For cross-cuts use a cross-cut table with cross-cut fence.
•Use a deflector wedge to cut battens to length.
•Damaged table inserts must be replaced with new ones.
•When cutting narrow workpieces, use the push stick.
•Repairs may only be carried out by qualified personnel with the main switch locked.
•The machine must be connected to an effective extraction unit with a minimum flow rate of 20 m/s.
•The machine is equipped with an electric magnetic brake. If this brake no longer brakes within the
prescribed braking time (10 s) despite readjustment, the customer service must be informed.

4.4 Hazardous Areas on the Sliding Table Saw
Carry out adjustment work within the danger zones only when the saw blade is stationary!
4.4.1 Danger Zone Saw Blade
Figure 2: Danger zone saw blade
•The area 120 mm around the saw blade is
considered to be a danger area with an in-
creased risk of injury.
•Hands must never be within this danger zone
when the saw blade is running!
•Never remove chips and parts lying around
with your hands!
•Within the danger zone, use a push stick, push
block or other suitable aid for advancing.
•When feeding the workpiece manually, place
your hands flat with your thumbs on them and
do not spread your fingers.
•Lower the saw blade guard before starting work.
Be aware of the danger of cutting and being drawn in within the danger zone of 120 mm
around the saw blade! Wearing gloves, loose clothing, open hair as well as watches or
jewellery is prohibited when working on the sliding table saw!
4.4.2 Danger Zones around the Machine
Another danger zone is located in front of the machine within the feed area of the saw blade. Here, there is a
particular risk of serious injury from a material kickback. During operation, the operator as well as any helpers
and possible observers must refrain from being in the marked danger zone!
Figure 3: Danger zones around the machine
•The operator of the machine must generally stand at
the front of the machine, outside the danger zone
(depending on the application, to the left or right of
the saw blade (see also Figure 7).
•A helper for workpiece removal must generally stand
behind the machine and outside the danger zone
(depending on the application, to the left or right of
the machine table). The helper must not stand within
the movement range of the slide table.
•Observers must stand in a semi-circle formation
outside the danger zone. An adequate distance must
be maintained so that the operator of the machine
and any helper are not hindered in their work.
Be aware of the danger of kickback due to ejecting workpieces! Entering the danger zone
during the cutting process can lead to serious injuries.
