Normal intended use

The circular saw bench is

exclusively

intended for rip sawing and cross

cutting solid wood and composite boards such as particle boards, chip-
boards, coreboards, etc., with a square or rectangular cross-section,

and using CV and HM circular saw blades for this purpose. The use of
saw blades made of high-speed steel (HSS) is impermissible. The saw
blade diameter must be between 300 and 315 mm.
Cross cuts may only be performed in conjunction with a mounted cross-
cutting fence.
Normal intended use also includes the observance of the manufac-
turer's operating, maintenance and repair conditions, as well as strict
adherence to the safety inspections listed in the instructions.
Any other use does not conform with the normal intended use of the
circular saw bench. The manufacturer is not liable for any resulting
damage; the user bears all risks!
The circular saw bench may only be operated, repaired and maintained
by persons who are over 18 years old. Ensure that all metal parts (nails,
screws, etc.) are removed from the wood before it is sawn!

Risks

Certain risks remain as a result of the specific design for the intended
use of the circular saw bench, even if it is properly operated in confor-
mity with its intended use and if all requisite safety rules and regulations
are observed.
Potential risks:

Danger for the fingers and hands through improper use of the tool
(saw blade) or workpiece.

Injury caused by workpieces hurled out of the circular saw bench.

Breakage and ejection of the saw blade.

Power hazard if improper electrical connecting lines are used.

Contact with live parts when the electrical parts are open.

Impaired hearing after working at the circular saw bench for pro-
longed periods without wearing ear defenders.

Emission of health hazardous wood dust when the circular saw
bench is operated without a dust extractor.

Further risks that are not immediately obvious can still exist, even if all
precautionary measures have been taken.
The risks can be minimised by strictly adhering to the "Safety Instruc-
tions", "Normal Intended Use" and the operating instructions.
