Safety information
Specified conditions of use
This machine is intended for ripping and crosscutting of solid timber, faced board, particle board,
wood-core plywood and similar wood-derived materials.
Do not cut round stock without a suitable fixture, as
the rotating saw blade could turn the workpiece.
Any other use is considered to be not as specified
and not allowed. Damages caused by unspecified
use are not covered by the manufacturer's liability.
Modification of the machine or use of parts not
tested and approved by the equipment manufacturer can cause unforeseeable damage.
General safety information
Follow the basic safety requirements for the operation of power tools, to keep the risk of
- personal injury
- fire
- electric shock
as little as possible.
Please note in particular:
A circular saw is a dangerous tool which can, due to
operator carelessness, cause serious personal
injury. It is therefore recommended you follow the
safety information given below, and know and follow
the legal regulations pertaining to the operation of
circular saws.
Danger!
A
The circular saw shall only be started and
operated by persons familiar with circular
saws, and who are at any time aware of the
dangers associated with the operation of
such tool.
Persons under 16 years of age shall use this
saw only under the supervision of an instructor in the course of their vocational training.
The following residual risks do principally
exist with circular saws, and can not, even by
employing safety devices, completely eliminated:
- Risk of injury by touching the revolving saw
blade: Keep sufficient distance to the saw
blade when sawing. Use push stick if necessary.
Prevent adverse body positions. Ensure
firm footing, and keep your balance at all
times.
- Risk of injury by touching the saw blade at
standstill: Lower the saw blade after sawing until the blade guards rest on the table.
Wear gloves when changing blades.
- Hazard by cluttered work area (e.g. by cutoffs on the floor):
Always keep work area clean.
- Risk of injury by objects being caught during sawing by the revolving saw blade (e.g.
tools on the saw table or metal parts hidden in the workpiece):
Keep saw table clean. If in doubt check
workpiece for inclusion of foreign matter.
- Risk of kickback (workpiece is caught by
the saw blade and thrown against the operator):
Always work with a properly set riving
knife. Keep blade sharp and do not jam.
- Hazard generated by environmental influences:
Do not operate the circular saw in rain or in
damp environment. Ensure sufficient lighting. Do not operate the circular saw near
inflammable liquids or gases.
- Danger to other persons in the work area:
Keep bystanders, particularly children, out
of the danger zone.
- Hazard generated by overloading:
Use circular saw within its limits, and only
as specified.
- Danger by machine faults:
Check the circular saw for damage before
every use. Before switching ON check to
see that keys or setting tools are removed.
Do not operate the saw with a damaged
ON/OFF switch. Keep knobs and handles
free of oil and grease.

Riving knife
The riving knife prevents the workpiece from being
caught by the rising teeth of the saw blade and
being thrown against the operator.
Always have riving knife installed during operation.
Blade guard
The blade guard protects against accidental contact
with the blade and keeps chips from flying about.
-1
Always have blade guard installed during operation.
Push stick
The push stick serves as an extension of the right
hand and protects against accidental contact with

green button.
To prevent unauthorized use the switch can be
blocked with a padlock.
Handwheel for blade tilt setting
The saw blade can be tilted steplessly between 0°
and 45°.
The centre of motion is at saw table level, so the
depth of cut remains the same, regardless of the
bevel angle.
Ratchet lock lever
The set bevel angle can be locked with a ratchet
lock lever, so it does not change during sawing.
There are several ratchet lock levers on the
3
saw. If the swivelling range is not sufficient,
the lever position can be shifted:
pull lever up, turn and let engage again.
Handwheel for setting the depth of cut
