9.1 Safety instructions
Warning: Risk of injury: Improper operation may lead to severe bodily injury or material damage. For this
reason this work may only be carried out by authorised, trained personnel who are familiar with the opera-
tion of the machine and in strict observance of all safety instructions.
Before starting work:
• Before commencing any work with the machine,
inspect it to ensure that it is complete and in
technically good condition.
• Ensure that there is sufficient space to work around
the machine.
• Keep the work area orderly and clean. Components
and tools that are not put in their correct place or put
away may be the cause of accidents!
• Ensure that all safety devices have been installed
properly.
• Adjustments to the machine or tool replacement may
only be conducted once the machine has stopped.
• Only clamp authorised tools to the machine.
• Tighten the saw blade and scoring blade clamping
screws
• Set the splitter correctly
• Only work with sharp tools. This reduces the kick-
back risk especially with slotted blades
• Install the dust extraction system according to the
instructions and test its function.
• Only machine workpieces that can be safely placed
on the machine and guided.
• Carefully inspect workpieces for foreign matter (nails,
screws) which might impair processing.
• Ensure that the tool turns freely.
• Ensure that each unit is rotating in the proper
direction
• Before switching on the machine, always check to make
sure that there are no other persons in the immediate
vicinity of the machine.
During operation:
• Never place your hands on the workpiece by leaning
over the circular saw and/or the scoring unit
• When changing to another workpiece or if a
malfunction occurs, first switch off the machine and
then secure it against being switched on again
accidentally.
• Do not switch off, circumvent or decommission
protective and safety devices during operation.
• Risk of injury from ejected tool pieces (e.g. cutting
pieces).
Therefore, never stand directly in the cutting line of
the saw blade whilst it is operating (in machining or
idling mode)
When working on or with the machine, the following
must be strictly observed:
• Persons with long hair who are not wearing a hairnet
are not permitted to work on or with the machine!
• It is prohibited to wear gloves while working on or
with the machine.

ring
Attention! Risk of material damage!
Only operate the machine in ambient temperatures from +10°C to +40°C. If the instructions are not followed,
damage may occur to bearings.
Note: Accessories:
Support long workpieces with additional surface equipment (e.g. Table extensions, roll supports).
Keep tools for handling short and narrow workpieces close at hand (e.g.: Push Stick)
