A Caution!

Do not store saw unprotected outdoors or in damp environ- ment.

Observe the permissible ambient conditions (see "Technical Speci- fications").

9.7Maintenance

Prior to every use

Remove saw dust and chips with vacuum or brush.

Check power cable and power cable plug for damage; if necessary, have damaged parts replaced by a quali- fied electrician.

Check all moving parts to see that they can move freely across their whole range of travel.

Periodically, depending on operating conditions

Check all screwed joints, retighten if necessary.

Check pull-back springs of the saw- head (the sawhead must return by spring power to its upper starting position), replace if necessary.

10. Tips and Tricks

For long stock use suitable supports on both sides of the saw.

When performing bevel cuts, hold the workpiece on the right side of the saw blade.

Use auxiliary fence when sawing small cut-offs (this may be a suitable board, fastened with four screws to the fence).

When cutting warped stock, place the convex side of the bow against the fence.

Do not cut stock standing on edge; always place it flat on the rotating table.

Keep the supporting surfaces clean

– in particular, remove resin residue with a suitable cleaning and mainte- nance spray.
