b) Adjust the riving knife as described in this in-
struction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning
and alignment can make the riving knife ineffec-
tive in preventing kickback.
c) Always use the riving knife except when
plunge cutting. Riving knife must be replaced
after plunge cutting. Riving knife causes interfer-
ence during plunge cutting and can create kick-
back.
d) For the riving knife to work, it must be en-
gaged in the workpiece. The riving knife is inef-
fective in preventing kickback during short cuts.
e) Do not operate the saw if riving knife is bent.
Even a light interference can slow the closing rate
of a guard.
Additional safety instructions
• Never use abrasive wheels in the machine.
• Make sure that the riving knife is adjusted so that
the distance to the sprocket ring of the saw blade is
not more than 5 mm and that the sprocket ring does
not stick out more than 3 mm above the lower edge
of the riving knife.
• Make sure that the dust catching mechanism is cor-
rectly installed, as is described in this manual.
• Wear breathing protection. Always wear ear protec-
tion.
• Only those saw blades recommended in the manu-
al should be used.
• Replace the saw blades as described in this man-
ual.
• If the electrical cable of this tool is damaged it must
be replaced by the manufacturer or the customer
service department or a similarly qualified special-
ist in order to avoid dangers.
• Only use the recommended saw blades which cor-
respond to EN 847-1.
• Only use the manufacturer's original saw blades
with the number Ø 160 mm, 160 x 20 x 2.4.
• Do not use any saw blades which do not correspond
to the characteristics described in these operating
instructions. Saw blades may not be brought to a
stop by pressure on the machine from the side.
• Make sure that the saw blade is tightly assembled
and turns in the correct direction.
• Hold the equipment on the insulated handles, when
you undertake work in which the tool being used
could come into contact with hidden electrical
wires, or its own cable. Contact with a live power
source can electrify the metal parts of the tool and
lead to an electrical shock.

m WARNING! This electric tool generates an elec-
tromagnetic field during operation. This field can im-
pair active or passive medical implants under certain
conditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or
deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with
medical implants consult with their physician and the
manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operat-
ing the electric tool.
Residual risks
The machine has been built according to the
state of the art and the recognised technical
safety requirements. However, individual residu-
al risks can arise during operation.
• Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use
of improper electrical connection cables.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been
met, some non-obvious residual risks may still re-
main.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the „safety in-
structions" and the „Proper use" are observed
along with the whole of the operating instructions.
• Do not load the machine unnecessarily: excessive
pressure when sawing will quickly damage the saw
blade, which results in reduced output of the ma-
chine in the processing and in cut precision.
• When cutting plastic material, please always use
clamps: the parts which should be cut must always
be fixed between the clamps.
• Avoid accidental starting of the machine: the oper-
ating button may not be pressed when inserting the
plug in an outlet.
• Use the tool that is recommended in this manual.
In doing so, your machine provides optimal perfor-
mance.
• Hands may never enter the processing zone when
the machine is in operation.
• Release the handle button and switch off the ma-
chine prior to any operations.
