Safety Notes

General Safety Rules

Read all warning notes and in-

structions enc slosed with the 

saw stand and the power tool to be mounted. 

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions 

may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious 

injury.

Safety Warnings for Saw Stands

f

Pull the plug from the mains receptacle 

and/or remove the battery from the power 

tool before making adjustments on the tool 

or changing tool accessories. 

Unintentional 

switching on of the power tool is the cause of 

many accidents.

f

Assemble the saw stand in the proper man-

ner before mounting the power tool. 

Proper 

assembly is important to prevent the risk of 

a collapse of the saw stand.

f

Attach the power tool securely to the saw 

stand before using it. 

Slipping off of the 

power tool on the saw stand can lead to loss 

of control.

f

Place the saw stand on a firm, level and hor-

izontal surface. 

If the saw stand can slip off 

or wobbles, the power tool or the workpiece 

cannot be uniformly and securely guided.

f

Do not overload the saw stand and do not 

use it as a ladder or scaffolding. 

Overload-

ing or standing on the saw stand can lead to 

the upward shifting of the centre of gravity of 

the stand and its tipping over.

f

When working or transporting, take care 

that all bolts and connecting elements are 

firmly tightened. 

Loose connections can 

lead to instability and inexact sawing.

f

Mount and dismount the power tool only 

when it is in the transport position (for in-

structions on the transport position, also 

see the operating instructions of the re-

spective power tool). 

Otherwise, the power 

tool can have such an unfavourable centre of 

gravity that it cannot be held securely.

f

When the power tool is mounted to the 

mounting plate, operate it exclusively on 

the saw stand. 

Without the saw stand, the 

mounting plate with the power tool does not 

stand securely and can tip over.

f

Ensure that long and heavy workpieces do 

not affect the equilibrium of the saw stand. 

Long and/or heavy workpieces must be sup-

ported at the free end.

f

Keep your fingers clear of the hinge points 

while pushing the saw stand together or 

pulling it apart. 

Danger of fingers being 

crushed or contused.
