•Wearhearingprotection!Exposuretonoisecancausehear-
ing loss! Make sure that the machine and its accessory
parts are in technically perfect condition! Only the above
establishes the optimal conditions for noisereduction. In
particular,make sure that the saw blade is neither dull nor
damaged. Worn or damaged saw blades have anegative
effecton noise generation and also pose asafety risk! You

2.2Safetyguidelinesregardingprotectivecovers
a) Leave the protecting covers assembled. Protecting
covers must be functional and assembled correctly.
Loose,damagedorimproperlyfunctioningprotectingcov-
ersmustberepairedorreplaced.
b) For separating cuts, always use the saw blade pro-
tecting cover and the splitting wedge. For separating
cuts where the saw blade cuts through the entire work
piece thickness, the protecting cover and other safety
mechanismsreducetheriskofinjuries.
c) Once you have completed your operating procedure
(e.g. groove, back-gouge or separating in reversal
method)whichrequirestheremovalofprotectingcov-
ers,splittingwedgeand/orkickbackprotection,imme-
diately reinstall the protective system. The protecting
cover,the splitting wedge and the kickback protection
reducetheriskofinjuries.
d) Beforeswitchingonthepowertool,makesurethesaw
bladedoesnottouchtheprotectingcover,thesplitting
wedge or the work piece.Unintentional contact of these
components with the saw blade can lead to adangerous
situation.
e) Adjustthesplittingwedgeaccordingtothedescription
in these operating instructions. Incorrect distances,
position and alignment could be the reason why the split-
tingwedgedoesnoteffectivelyprevent kickback.
f) The splitting wedge and anti-kickback device need to
actontheworkpiecein order to function.Thesplitting
wedge and anti-kickback device are ineffective for work
piecesectionswhicharetooshortforthesplittingwedgeto
actupon.Thesplittingwedgeandtheanti-kickbackdevice
cannotpreventkickbackundertheseconditions.
g) Usetheappropriatesawbladeforthesplittingwedge.
Forthesplittingwedgetoactcorrectly,thesawbladediam-
eter must match the corresponding splitting wedge, the
steelbladeofthesawblademustbethinnerthanthesplit-
ting wedge, and the tooth width must be greater than the
splittingwedgethickness.
2.3Safetyguidelinesforsawingprocess
a) DANGER: Your fingers and hands should not come
near the saw blade or within the sawing range. A
momentofcarelessnessorslippingcoulddirectyourhand
towardsthesawbladeandresultinseriousinjuries.
b) Always guide the work piece against the direction of
rotation of the sawblade.Feeding the work piecein the
samedirectionasthedirectionofrotationofthesawblade
abovethetablecancausetheworkpieceandyourhandto
bedrawnintothesawblade.
c) Never use the mitre stop to feed the work piece for
long sections, and for cross sections with the mitre
stop, never use the parallel limit stop additionally to
the longitudinal adjustment. Guiding the work piece
simultaneously with the parallel limit stop and the mitre
stop increases the probability that the saw blade will jam
andkickback.
d) For long sections, always exert the feeding force on
theworkpiecebetweenstoprailandsawblade.Usea
pushrodwhenthedistancebetweenstoprailandsaw
bladeis lessthan150 mm;useapushblockwhenthe
distance is less than 50 mm. Such working aids ensure
thatyourhandremainsatasafedistancetothesawblade.
e) Useonlythesuppliedpushrodofthemanufacturer,or
onethat hasbeenmanufactured accordingtoinstruc-
tion. The push rod ensures asufficient distance between
handandsawblade.
f) Never use adamaged or partially cut pushing rod. A
damaged pushing rod can break and cause your hand to
comeagainstthesawblade.
g) Do not work “freehand”.Always use the parallel limit
stop or the mitre stop to position and guide the work
piece. “Freehand” means supporting or guiding the work
piece with the hands instead of with the parallel limit stop
orthemitrestop.Freehandsawingleadstomisalignment,
jammingandkickback.
h) Never reach around or over arotating saw blade.
Reaching for awork piece can result in unintentionally
touchingtherotatingsawblade.

become wedged under the parallel limit stop and cause
kickback.
2.4
Kickback–Causesandcorrespondingsafetyguidelines
Akickback is the sudden reaction of the work piece due to a
catching,jammingsawbladeorbecauseaworkpieceiscutat
anangleinrelationtothesawblade,orifpartoftheworkpiece
is jammed between the saw blade and parallel limit stop or
otherfixedobject.
In most cases duringakickback, the work piece is caught by
therearpartofthesawblade,liftedupfromthesawtableand
thenflungtowardstheoperator.Kickbackistheresultofwrong
orfaultyuseofthetablesaw.Itcanbeavoidedbyusingappro-
priateprecautionarymeasures,asdescribedinthefollowing.
a. Neverstanddirectlyinlinewiththesawblade.Always
keeptoonesideofthesawbladewherethestoprailis
located. During kickback, the work piece can be flung at
highspeeds towards anyone standing in front of and in
linewiththesawblade.
b. Neverreachoverorbehindthesawbladetopullonor

c. Never hold and press the work piece being sawed
againsttherotatingsawblade.Pressingtheworkpiece
being sawed against the saw blade will cause jamming
andkickback.
d. Align the stop rail in parallel to the saw blade. An
unalignedstoprailwillpresstheworkpieceagainstthesaw
bladeandgeneratekickback.
e.
Use afeatherboard when proceeding hidden saw cuts
(e.g. groove, back-gouge or separating in reversal
method).Thefeatherboardallowsyoutoguidethework-

helpsyoutocontroltheworkpieceincaseofkickback.
f. Beespeciallycarefulwhensawinginout-of-sightareas
of assembled work pieces. Adipping in saw blade can

g. Support large sheets to minimizethe risk of kickback
caused by ajammed saw blade. Large sheets can sag

2.5Safetyguidelinesforoperatingtablesaws
a) Switch off the table saw and disconnect it from the
mains before you remove thetable insert, replace the
sawblade,carryoutsettingsonthesplittingwedgeor
the saw blade guard, and whenever leaving the
machine unattended. Precautions serve to prevent acci-
dents.
b) Neverleaveanoperatingtablesawunattended.Switch

resentsanuncontrollablerisk.
c) Setupthetable sawinan areathatislevelandwelllit
and where you canstand securely and keepyour bal-
ance.Theset-upsitemustbespaciousenoughforyou
to comfortably handle the size of your work pieces.
Disarray,non-lit working areas and uneven and slippery
floorscanleadtoaccidents.
d) Regularly remove chipsand saw dustunderneath the
sawtableand/orfromthedustextraction.Accumulated
sawdustiscombustibleandcanself-ignite.
e) Secure the table saw. An improperly secured table saw
canmoveorfallover
f) Remove adjusting tools, wood scraps etc. from the
tablesawbeforeyouswitchiton.Deflectionorpossible
jamscouldbedangerous.
g) Always use the correct size of saw blade and with
matching mounting hole (e.g. diamond-shaped or
round). Saw bladeswhich do not match the assembly
parts of the saw will operate out of centre and will lead to
lossofcontrol.
h) Never use damaged or wrong saw blade assembly
material such as e.g. flanges, flat washers, screws or
nuts. This saw blade assembly material was constructed
specifically for your saw,for secure operation andoptimal
performance.
i) Neverstanduponthetablesawandneverusethetable
saw as afoot stool. Serious injuries could occur if the
powertoolfallsoverorifyouaccidentallycomeintocontact

j) Ensurethesawbladeisalwaysmountedinthecorrect
directionofrotation.Donotusesandingdiscsor wire
brushes with the table saw. Improper assembly of the
saw blade or the use of not recommended accessories
canleadtoseriousinjuries.

Noise/vibrationinformation
The information on vibration and noise emission has been
determined in compliance with the prescribed standardised
and normative measuring methods and can be used to com-
pareelectricaldevicesandtoolswitheachother.
These values also allow apreliminary evaluation of theloads
causedbyvibrationandnoiseemissions.

Warning!
Depending on the operating conditions while operating the
device, the actually occurring emissions could differ from the
valuesspecifiedabove!
Pleasebear inmindthat thevibrationandnoiseemissioncan
deviatefromthevaluesgivenintheseinstructions,depending
ontheconditionsofuseofthetool. Thisisespeciallyapplica-
ble in dependence on the workpiece tobe machinedandthe
utilised saw blade and its wear condition. Always ensure you
have an adequately sharp saw blade and awell-maintained
drive. Poorly maintained tools, inappropriate working meth-
ods, different work pieces, too highafeed orunsuitable work
pieces or materials or unsuitable bits and cutters (here: saw
blade) can significantly increase the vibration load and noise
emissionacrosstheentireworkperiod.
To more accurately estimate the actual vibration and noise
load, also take the times into consideration where the device
isswitchedoff,orisrunningbutisnotactuallyinuse.Thiscan
clearly reduce the vibration and noise load across the entire
workperiod.
Warning:
•Toreduce vibrations, make sure your tool and the cutting
discorthesawbladeareinpropercondition!
•Ensure regular and proper maintenance of your tool
•Stop operationofthe toolimmediatelyif excessivevibration
occurs!
•Unsuitable bits and cutters (here e.g. cutting disc or saw
blade) can cause excessive vibration and noises. Only use
suitablebitsandcutters!
•Takebreaksifnecessarywhenworkingwiththedevice!

9. Dustsuction
At the back of the housing of your FSK you will find acon-
necting piece for dust suction, seefig.9:avacuumcleaneris
connectedhere.
This should always be operational while working! Not only
because it guarantees aclean working environment, but also
because this prevents the interior of the saw from becoming
contaminatedfromsawdust.
The vacuum cleaner hose is simply connected to the rubber
adapter,asshown in the picture.

11.1. General tips on sawing
Forgoodresults,pleasenotethefollowingpoints:
•When sawing, press the work piece onto the work plate,
guide with sensitivity and with little force; more pressure on
theworkplate,lesspressureagainstthesawblade.
•Make sure that the work piece is lying properly on the saw
table(noburrsorsawdust)
•Adaptthefeedtotherequirementsbysawblade,speedand
workpiecematerial.
•Guide the work piece slowly into the saw blade, particularly
if the blade is very thin and the teeth very fineor if the work
pieceisverythick.
•Onlyuseperfectsawblades.Makesurethatthesawblades
are suitable for use with the FET.You must comply with the
dimensionsspecifiedinthetechnicaldata.
•Donotletthedeviceoperateunsupervised.
•Carefullymarkoutthecheckline.
•Makesurethereisgoodlighting.
•Alwaysworkwithconnecteddustsuction!
•Ifnecessary,use the included push-rod to feed the work
piece.
•Always work with the saw blade guard and splitting wedge.
Make sure that the protective devices are in aperfect
condition.
•Prevent the saw blade from blocking! Always work with
adjusted feed and avoid jamming the workpiece. If the saw
blade blocks allthe same, pleasecarefully pull outthe work
piece against the feed direction so that the saw blade can
rotatefreelyagain.

teethandan80mmdiameterexworks.
This is very well suited for most „sawing jobs“, guarantees
clean cuts in the mostvarious materials and guarantees long
service life. But it will not last for ever,ofcourse: Wear will
occur depending on the intensity of use: The saw blade will
becomedull,moreforcetopushtheworkpieceisrequiredand
thequalityofthecutisreduced,themechanicsofthemachine
arestressedmorestronglythannecessary.
Then it is hightime toreplace the saw blade with anew one.
It can alsobe necessary touse adifferentsaw blade type for
aparticulartask(seealsothechapter„Choosingtherightsaw

„Heightadjustmentofthesawblade“.
3. Swingopenthehousingasdescribedinsection6.2
4. To releasethescrew1(fig16a),theshaftonwhichthesaw
blade 2ismounted must be blocked. To do so, insert the
smaller of the two included Allen keys 3through the small
drill hole 4inthe sawtable and fromthere insert itinto the
saw blade shaft through across-hole, see fig. 16b. If nec-
essary,thisdrill hole must be „found“ somewhatbyturning
