not tested and approved by the man-
ufacturer!
Use only parts approved by the
•
equipment manufacturer. This ap-
plies particularly to:
– saw blades (see ' Technical Da-
ta' for stock numbers)
– safety devices (see 'Spare parts
list' for stock numbers).
Do not change any parts.
•
A
Hazard caused by machine
defects!
Keep the machine and accessories
•
in good repair. Follow the mainte-
nance instructions.
Before any use check machine for
•
possible damage: before operating
the machine all safety devices, pro-
tective guards or slightly damaged
parts need to be checked for proper
function as specified. Check to see
that all moving parts work properly
and do not jam. All parts must be
correctly installed and meet all re-
quirements for proper operation of
the device.
Immediately report faults and disrup-
•
tions after noting them.
Any damaged parts or protection
•
devices must be repaired or re-
placed by a qualified specialist.
Have damaged switches replaced
by a service centre. Do not use this
machine if the switch cannot be
switched on or off.
A
Risk of injury by noise!
Wear ear protection.
•
Make sure the riving knife is not
•
bent. A bent riving knife will push
the workpiece against the side of
the saw blade, causing noise.
Use very sharp saw blades to re-
•
duce noise and save energy.
A
Danger from blocking work-
pieces or workpiece parts!
If blockage occurs:
1. Switch machine OFF.
2. Unplug mains cable.

Riving knife
The riving knife (26) prevents the work-
piece from being caught by the rising
teeth of the saw blade and being
thrown back against the operator.
The riving knife is coordinated with the
saw blade diameter given in the techni-
cal data and must always be installed
during operation.

Blade guard
The blade guard (27) protects against
unintentional contact with the saw
blade and from chips flying about.
The blade guard is coordinated with the
saw blade diameter given in the techni-
cal data and must always be installed
during operation.
The chip guard must lower inde-
pendently, and may not become stuck
in the top position.
Push stick
The push stick (28) serves as an exten-
sion of the hand and protects against
accidental contact with the saw blade.
Always use the push stick if the dis-
tance between saw blade and rip fence
is less than 120 mm.

The push stick must be guided at an
angle of 20° to 30° to the saw table sur-
