•Before start-up, check the machine for completeness and function. Only use the machine if
the guards and other non-parting guards required for machining have been fitted, are in
good operating condition and have been properly maintained.
•Choose a level, vibration-free, non-slip surface for the installation location.
•Ensure sufficient space around the machine!
•Ensure sufficient lighting conditions at the workplace to avoid stroboscopic effects!
•Ensure a clean working environment!
•Only use perfect tools that are free of cracks and other defects (e.g. deformations).
•Remove tool keys and other adjustment tools before switching on the machine.
•Keep the area around the machine free of obstacles (e.g. dust, chips, cut parts, etc.).
•Check the strength of the machine connections before each use.
•Never leave the running machine unattended. Switch off the machine before leaving the
working area and secure it against unintentional or unauthorised recommissioning.
•The machine may only be operated, serviced or repaired by persons who are familiar with it
and who have been informed of the dangers arising in the course of this work.

3.5 Electrical safety
•Make sure that the machine is grounded.
•Only use suitable extension cables.
•A damaged or tangled cable increases the risk of electric shock. Handle the cable with
care. Never use the cable to carry, pull or disconnect the power tool. Keep the cable away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
•Proper plugs and outlets reduce the risk of electric shock.
•Water entry into the machine increases the risk of electric shock. Do not expose the
machine to rain or moisture.
•The machine may only be used if the power supply is protected by a residual current
circuit breaker.
•Use the machine only when the ON-OFF switch is in good working order.
•Before connecting the machine always make sure that it is switches off.
3.6 Special safety instructions for woodworking machines
•Work with gloves on rotating parts is not permitted!
•During operation of the machine wood dust is generated. Therefore, connect the machine
to a suitable dust collection system for dust and chips during installation!
•Always switch on the dust collection system before you start machining the workpiece!
•Never remove sections or other parts of the workpiece from the cutting area while the
machine is running.
•Excessive noise can cause hearing damage and temporary or permanent hearing loss. Wear
hearing protection certified to health and safety regulations to limit noise exposure.
•Replace cracked and deformed saw blades immediately, they cannot be repaired.
•Use a push stick for cutting operations where less than 120mm is cut, i.e. less than 120mm
distance to the right of the saw blade from the rip fence. Do not feed the wood by hand, only
with the push stick!
•Select the number of teeth of the saw blade so that at least 2-3 teeth cut through the
workpiece at the same time. A lower number of teeth leads on the one hand to an unclean
cut, on the other hand the danger of vibrations and noise pollution increases due to
increased kickback.
3.7 Hazard warnings
Despite its intended use, certain residual risks remain:
•Risk of injury to fingers and hands from the rotating saw blade if the workpiece is guided
improperly.
•Injuries caused by the workpiece being thrown away by improper mounting or guidance,
such as working without a stop.
•Danger to health from wood dust or chips. It is essential to wear personal protective
equipment such as eye protection and a dust mask. Use a dust collection system!
•Injuries due to defective saw blade. Check the saw blade regularly for damage.
•Risk of electric shock if incorrect electrical connections are used.
Residual risks can be minimized if the "Safety instructions" and the "Intended use" as well as the
operating instructions are observed.

6.3 Notes on using the machine
6.3.1 Selection of the saw blade
Apart from the material of the workpiece, the saw blade teeth play the most important role in
achieving precise cuts. The number of teeth, as well as their shape, arrangement and position
are associated with a specific function. To enhance the cutting quality, make sure that at least 2-
3 teeth cut through the workpiece at the same time. If only one tooth works, a poor working
surface results, the risk the vibrations and the noise exposure increases before setback increase:
adequate saw blade inadequate saw blade
Only work with well-sharpened saw blades.
•Adjust the height of the saw blade so that the gear rim is reliably covered by the circular
saw blade guard (distance between saw blade guard and workpiece (maximum distance
of 5 mm).
•Use the push stick at the end of cutting when the distance between the saw blade and
the ruler is less than 120 mm.
•Make sure that the machine works without vibrations.
•Cracked and deformed saw blades cannot be repaired. They must be sorted out
immediately as scrap and replaced by proper ones.
•Feed the workpiece evenly, without thrusts and without taking it back, until the end of
cutting is reached.
6.3.2 Longitudinal cuts
When performing this operation, the following equipment shall be used for safe working:
•Rip-fence
•the guard of the saw blade
•the riving knife
•the insert in the table

<120mm) and rip-fence with small
NOTICE
When cross-cutting round timber, a template or a holding device is necessary to
secure the workpiece against twisting and the use of a suitable saw blade is
necessary.
6.3.3 Mitre cuts (cross-cuts) and wedge-cutting
When performing this operation, the following equipment shall be used for safe working:
•Mitre gauge
•the saw blade guard
•the riving knife
•the tableinsert
Cross-cuts:
Mitre cuts in the range 0-90° can be carried out by pressing the workpiece to be cut firmly
against the stop surface of the mitre gauge.
Wedge cuts:
To do this, set the rotary part mitre fence to 0° and secure it with the adjusting handle. Position
