tool, as a result of which toppling or sliding during
work is prevented.
- Round workpieces such as pipes must be secured,
otherwise they will turn and there is a danger that
the saw blade will become jammed. Always secure
the workpiece against the check and on the table,
using a suitable auxiliary tool.
- There may be no nails or foreign objects in the work-
piece to be treated.
- In order to prevent damage to the ears, ear mufflers
must be used.
- In order to prevent accidents in case the machine is
switched on by mistake, the mains plug must be remo-
ved from the power point before adjustments are
made to the check or saw head. The same applies to
changing the saw blad or accessories and during main-
tenance of the machine.
- In order to prevent electric shocks, when connecting
the plug to the power point, the metal pins may not be
touched in any way whatsoever.
- Do not use the cable to remove the plug from the po-
wer point. Protect the cable from oil, heat and sharp
edges.
- Never apply a detergent or lubricant to a saw blade
which is still rotating.
- In order to prevent fire, the machine may never be
used near inflammable liquids, vapours or gases.
- Prevent injuries which can occur by not using the
original accessories. Only use the recommended
saw blades.
- Choose a saw blade in relation to the material to be
sawn.
WHEN THE MACHINE IS IN OPERATION
Do not allow routine, which occurs when using
the machine frequently, to lead to mistakes.
Remember that a slight lack of concentration
can result in serious injuries in a split second.
1. Ensure that the saw blade protective cap is in the cor-
rect position before you start sawing.
2. Before the first saw cut is made, allow the machine to
rotate for a while. Should unusual noises or strong vi-
brations be observed, then switch off the machine
and remove the plug from the power point in order to
then determine the cause. Do not switch the machine
on before the cause has been established and the fault
has been remedied.
3. Make sure that the sawn off workpiece does not be-
come jammed, do not hold it, do not clamp it and do
not secure it against the check. It must be allowed to
move freely along the side of the saw blade. If these
conditions cannot be met, the sawn off workpiece
can be caught by the saw blade and flung away.
4. Avoid placing your hands in an unfavourable place,
whereby one or both hands may come into contact
with the saw blade as a result of a sudden displace-
ment.
5. Before you begin sawing, allow the saw blade to reach
its full revolutions.
6. Press the saw head downwards in such a way that the
motor is not overloaded and the saw blade is not jam-
med.
7. If you are going to remove jammed material, first al-
low the saw blade to come to a standstill. Switch off
the saw and remove the plug from the power point.
8. After finishing the sawing process, hold the saw head
downwards, release the switch and wait until all the
moving parts have come to a halt, before you move
your hands away from the machine.
MOTOR
In order to prevent damage to the motor, chips
and dust must regularly be removed from it, in
order to ensure an ideal cooling.
1. Connect the machine to a 220/230V circuit.
2. If the motor does not start, the switch must be rele-
ased immediately. Remove the plug from the power
point. Check whether the saw blade can move freely.
If the saw blade moves freely, start the machine again.
3. If the motor suddenly stops during sawing, the switch
must be released immediately. Release the saw blade
from the workpiece, after which sawing can be conti-
nued.
4. When using long cables with too small a diameter, a
loss of voltage occurs, which gives problems with the
motor.
- By a length of cable up to 15 meters, a diameter of
1.5 mm
2
must be used.
- By a length of cable from 15 to 40 meters, a diame-
ter of 2.5 mm
2
must be used.
