3. Store the operating instructions so that they are always available to the user of the tool when

it is being operated.

4. Remove the protection padding found around the motor before using.

5. Pay close attention to instructions on reducing the risk of kickback.

6. Always use push sticks when ripping narrow workpiece and when making non-through cuts.

7. If you lend this device to other people, always hand over these operating instructions to ensure

safe use. Instruct inexperienced people in accordance with these safety instructions.

8. Keep your work area tidy. Untidiness in your work area can cause accidents.

9. Pay attention to the surrounding conditions. Do not expose the electric power tool to rain. Do

not use electric power tools in damp or wet conditions. Ensure that the work area is well lit.

Do not use electric power tools where there is a danger of fire or explosion.

10. Protect yourself against electric shocks. Avoid bodily contact with earthed parts (e.g. pipes,

radiators, electric hobs or cooling appliances).

11. Keep other people away from the work area. Do not let other people, especially children, touch

the electric power tool or the power cable. Keep them away from your work area.

12. Store unused electric power tools safely. Unused electric power tools should be stored in a dry,

high-lying or locked place, out of the reach of children.

13. Do not overload your electric power tool. It works better and more securely within the stated

output range.

14. Use the correct electric power tool. Do not use inefficient machines for heavy work. Do not use

the electric power tool for purposes for which it was not intended for. For example, do not

use circular saws to cut wooden masts or logs.

15. Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear baggy clothing or jewellery, as they can be caught

by moving parts. When working outdoors, anti-slip shoes are recommended. If you have long

hair, wear a hair net.

16. Wear safety equipment. Wear safety goggles. If the work creates dust, wear a dust mask.

17. Attach the dust extraction unit. If there are connections for dust extraction and collection

equipment, then make sure that the equipment is correctly attached and used.

maintenance and when exchanging tools such as saw blades, drills and mills.

23. Do not leave keys in the device. Before you switch the device off, check that keys and setting

tools have been removed.

24. Avoid starting-up the device accidentally. Make sure that when you insert the plug into

the power socket, the power switch is turned off.

25. Use an extension cord when working outdoors. Only use extension cords outdoors which are

authorized for outdoor use and are correspondingly marked.

26. Be attentive. Be carefully what you do. Carry out your work sensibly.

27. Check the electric power tool for any sign of damage. Before continuing work with the electric power

tool, safety devices or easily damaged parts have to be carefully checked to ensure that they

function properly and are not defective. Check that moving parts are working properly and are

not or damaged. All parts must be correctly assembled by an experienced individual, unless

stated otherwise in the operating instructions, and meet all required conditions in order

GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS

Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged

extension cord, or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension cords

from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must consist of not less than #12 wire

with a 20 A time-delayed fuse or a #14 wire with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the

motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated

the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage

the motor.

WARNING: THIS TABLE SAW IS INTENDED FOR INDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE

IT TO RAIN OR USE IT IN DAMP LOCATIONS.

Make sure the extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use

one that is heavy enough to carry the current that your product will draw. An undersized cord will

cause a drop in line voltage, which will result in loss of power and overheating. The table below

shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. When

in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
