exactCUT 170/170E/220E Operating Instructions
Safety
l. Check the operation of the lower guard. If the guard
and the spring are not operating properly, they must
be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits,
or a build-up of debris.
m. Do not reach into the saw dust ejector with your
hands. They could be injured by rotating parts.
n. Do not work overhead with the saw. In this manner
you do not have suf cient control over the power
tool.
o. Do not operate the power tool stationary. It is not
designed for operation with a saw table.
p. Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw blades. Such
saw blades can easily break.
q. When working with the machine, always hold it rmly
with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The
power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
r. Secure the workpiece. A workpiece supported by
pipe holders is held more secure than by hand.
s. Always wait until the machine has come to a
complete stop before placing it down. The tool insert
can jam and lead to loss of control over the power
tool.
t. Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do
not touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug
when the cable is damaged while working. Damaged
cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
