Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback
forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are
taken.
When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any
reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless
in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop.
Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the
saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may
occur.Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate
the cause of blade binding.When restarting a saw in the
workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and check that
saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw blade is
binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw
is restarted.
Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching and
kickback.Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Sup-
ports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of
cut and near the edge of the panel.
Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly
set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade
binding and kickback.
Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be
tight and secure before making cut. If blade adjustment
shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other
blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause
kickback.
Lower guard function
Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not
operate the saw if lower guard does not move freely and close
instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open
position. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may
be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle
and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade
or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.Check the
operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the
spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced
before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged
parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
Lower guard may be retracted manually only for special
cuts such as „plunge cuts" and „compound cuts". Raise
lower guard by retracting handle and as soon as blade enters the
material, the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing,
the lower guard should operate automatically.
Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade
before placing saw down on bench or oor. An unprotected,
coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting
whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to
stop after switch is released.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS:
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Always wear goggles when using the machine. It is recommended
to wear gloves, sturdy non slipping shoes and apron.
The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful to health.
Do not inhale the dust. Use a dust absorption system and wear a
suitable dust protection mask. Remove deposited dust thoroughly,
e.g. with a vacuum cleaner.
Do not use saw blades not corresponding to the key data given in
these instructions for use.
Please do not use abrasion disks in this machine!
Do not x the on/o switch in the „on" position when using the saw
hand-held.
WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Adapt the feed speed to avoid overheating the blade tips.
MAINS CONNECTION
Connect only to single-phase AC current and only to the system
voltage indicated on the rating plate. It is also possible to connect
to sockets without an earthing contact as the design conforms to
safety class II.
Appliances used at many di erent locations including open air
should be connected via a residual current device (FI, RCD, PRCD) of
30mA or less.
Only plug-in when machine is switched o .
Do not let any metal parts enter the airing slots - danger of short
circuit!
Keep mains lead clear from working range of the machine. Always
lead the cable away behind you.
Before use check machine, cable, and plug for any damages or
material fatigue. Repairs should only be carried out by authorised
Service Agents.
A power spike causes voltage uctuations and may a ect other
electrical products in the same power line. Connect the product to
a power supply with an impedance equal to 0.368 Ω to minimize
voltage uctuations.
