Safety advice / Preparing the device for use

or other objects that come into contact with the rotating sawblade could strike the operator at high speed.

JAlways saw just one workpiece at a time. Workpieces placed one above the oth- er or side by side may jam the sawblade or slip with respect to one another during sawing.

JAlways use the guide fence or the mitre guide. This will improve the accuracy of your cut and reduce the risk of the blade jamming.

JIf the saw blade jams or you pause from your work, switch off the ma- chine and hold the workpiece still, until the saw blade has reached a standstill. Never remove the work- piece while the saw blade is still ro- tating, otherwise this may result in kickback. Determine and rectify the reason for the saw blade jamming.

JDo not use blunt, cracked, distorted or damaged saw blades. Saw blades with blunt or misaligned teeth are in effect too wide for the designed saw gap and this gives rise to increased friction, jamming and kickback.

JAlways use a saw blade of the correct size and with the appropriate central fixing hole bore (e.g. star-shaped or round). Saw blades that do not correspond with the attachment components on the saw will not run true and could lead to loss of control.

JDo not touch the saw blade immedi- ately after sawing. Wait until it has cooled down. The saw blade gets hot during sawing.

JNever operate the electrical power tool without the cover plate 23 Replace the cover plate 23 if it is defective. If the cover plate 23 is defective it may result in you injuring yourself on the saw blade.

QOriginal accessories / attach- ments

JUse only the accessories and attachments de- tailed in the operating instructions. The use of

inserted tools or accessories other than those recommended in the operating instructions could lead to you suffering an injury.

QPreparing the device for use

QPreparation

jYou will need the following materials not in- cluded in the supplied items and accessories to operate the saw:

-Table or workbench with a solid working surface in order to support the device

-Personal protective equipment:

wear this to protect your ears, eyes, mouth, nose and hands, and if necessary a hairnet to protect long

hair.

-Wear close-fitting clothing and non-slip footwear

-Special dust extraction vacuum (approved for use for dust extraction) or device for sawdust extraction

-Narrow and thick brushes or compressed air cleaner

-Folding rule or measuring callipers for measurement

-Make sure that the machine and table are supported in a safe manner. The machine must be set up on a robust table or work- bench with a solid working surface.

QIntegrated safety devices

Always observe the following advice on the safety devices fitted to the table saw. Failure to do this could lead to serious injury or damage to property.
