ENGLISH • Never attempt to stop a machine in motion rapidly by jamming a tool or other means against the blade; serious accidents can occur. • Before using any accessory consult the instruction manual. The improper use of an accessory can cause damage. • Use a holder or wear gloves when handling a saw blade or rough material. • Ensure that the saw blade is mounted correctly before use. • Make sure that the blade rotates in the correct direction. • Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than recommended. For the proper blade rating refer to the technical data. Use only the blades specified in this manual, complying with EN 847-1. • Consider applying specially designed noise-reduction blades. • Do not use HIGH SPEED STEEL blades. • Do not use deformed or damaged saw blades. • Do not use any abrasive or diamond discs. • Before each cut ensure that the machine is stable. • When fitted with a laser do not replace the laser with a different type. Repairs shall only be carried out by the laser manufacturer or an authorized agent. • Never use your saw without the kerf plate. • Raise the blade from the kerf in the workpiece prior to releasing the switch. • Do not wedge anything against the fan to hold the motor shaft. • The blade guard on your saw will automatically raise when the arm is brought down; it will lower over the blade when head lock up release lever (17) is pushed. • Never raise the blade guard manually unless the saw is switched off. The guard can be raised by hand when installing or removing saw blades or for inspection of the saw. • Check periodically that the motor air slots are clean and free of chips. • Replace the kerf plate when worn. Refer to service parts list included. • Disconnect the machine from the mains before carrying out any maintenance work or when changing the blade. • Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work when the machine is still running and the head is not in the rest position. • When possible, always mount the machine to a bench. • The front section of the guard is louvered for visibility while cutting. Although the louvers dramatically reduce flying debris, they are openings in the guard and safety glasses should be worn at all times when viewing through the louvers. • Connect the saw to a dust collection device when sawing wood. Always consider factors which influence exposure of dust such as: -- type of material to be machined (chip board produces more dust than wood); -- sharpness of the saw blade; -- correct adjustment of the saw blade, -- dust extractor with air velocity not less than 20 m/s. Ensure that the local extraction as well as hoods, baffles and chutes are properly adjusted. • Please be aware of the following factors influencing exposure to noise: -- use saw blades designed to reduce the emitted noise; -- use only well sharpened saw blades; • Machine maintenance shall be conducted periodically; • Provide adequate general or localized lighting; • Ensure the operator is adequately trained in the use, adjustment and operation of the machine; • Ensure that any spacers and spindle rings are suitable for the purpose as stated in this manual. • Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other parts of the workpiece from the cutting area while the machine is running and the saw head is not in the rest position. • Never cut workpieces shorter than 200 mm. 10 • Without additional support the machine is designed to accept the maximum workpiece size of: - Height 70 mm by width 300 mm by length 500 mm - Longer workpieces need to be supported by suitable additional table, e.g. DE7080. Always clamp the workpiece safely to the saw table. • In case of an accident or machine failure, immediately turn the machine off and disconnect machine from the power source. • Report the failure and mark the machine in suitable form to prevent other people from using the defective machine. • When the saw blade is blocked due to abnormal feed force during cutting, turn the machine off and disconnect it from power supply. Remove the workpiece and ensure that the saw blade runs free. Turn the machine on and start new cutting operation with reduced feed force. • Never cut light alloy, especially magnesium. • Select the correct saw blade for the material to be cut. • Whenever the situation allows, mount the machine to a bench using bolts with a diameter of 8 mm and 80 mm in length. Residual Risks The following risks are inherent to the use of saws: - injuries caused by touching the rotating parts In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided. These are: - Impairment of hearing. - Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the rotating saw blade. - Risk of injury when changing the blade. - Risk of squeezing fingers when opening the guards. - Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when sawing wood, especially oak, beech and MDF. The following factors increase the risk of breathing problems: - No dust extractor connected when sawing wood. - Insufficient dust extraction caused by uncleaned exhaust filters. Markings on Tool The following pictograms are shown on the tool: Read instruction manual before use. Wear ear protection. Wear eye protection. Carrying point Keep hands away from blade. Read the instructions Performing a Sliding Cut. Read the instructions Overriding the Bevel Stops. DATE CODE POSITION (FIG. A2) The Date Code (32), which also includes the year of manufacture, is printed into the housing. Example: 2012 XX XX Year of Manufacture
