blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from
the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
d) Support large panels to minimise the risk of
blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend
to sag under their own weight. Supports must be
placed under the panel on both sides, near the line
of cut and near the edge of the panel.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharp-
ened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf
causing excessive friction, blade binding and kick-
back.
f) 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.
g) Use extra caution when sawing into existing
walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade
may cut objects that can cause kickback.
Safety instructions for circular saws with outer pen-
dulum guard, circular saws with inner pendulum
guard , circular saws with tow guard
a) Check lower guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard
does not move freely and close instantly. Nev-
er 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.
b) 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 dam-
aged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of de-
bris.
c) Lower guard may be retracted manually only
for special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and
"compound cuts". Raise lower guard by re-
tracting handle and as soon as blade enters
the material, the lower guard must be released.
For all other sawing, the lower guard should oper-
ate automatically.
d) Always observe that the lower guard is cov-
ering the blade before placing saw down on
bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade
will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting what-
ever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for
the blade to stop after switch is released.
Wear hearing protection during operation.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
During operation provide eye protection to
prevent eyes from exposure to flying par-
ticles. Wear goggles.
Take protective measures against inhalation
of dust. Some materials can contain toxic
ingredients. Wear a dust mask and work with
dust/chip extraction when connectable.
▪ Do not process materials containing asbestos. Asbes-
tos is considered carcinogenic.
▪ Use of protective gloves is recommended.
Original instructions
WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a
power source be sure that the voltage supply is the
same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool.
▪ A power source with a voltage greater than that speci-
fied for the tool can result in serious injury to the user,
as well as damage to the tool.
▪ If in doubt, do not plug in the tool.
▪ Using a power source with a voltage less than the
nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
▪ Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential
overheating.
▪ When an extension cable is required, you must en-
sure that it has the right ampere rating for your power
tool and it is in safe electrical condition.
WARNING: Always switch off and unplug the
power tool prior to any adjustment, servicing or main-
tenance or in case of mains drop-out.
▪ Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do
not touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug
when the cable is damaged while operating. Dam-
aged cables increase the risk of electric shock.
▪ Always keep the cord away from the working area of
the power tool.
▪ Prior to operation remove all nails, screws and other
objects from the work piece. You may damage the
saw blade and the machine by cutting into a nail or
other metal. It can also present a safety hazard.
▪ Use clamps or a vice to secure your work whenever
possible.
▪ Never start the power tool under load. Make sure that
the saw blade is not in contact with the work piece
when you switch the machine on.
▪ Always switch off and wait until the saw blade has
come to a complete standstill before removing the
machine from the work piece.
▪ Never apply side pressure to stop the blade rotation
after switching off the saw.
▪ Do not touch the saw blade immediately after opera-
tion. It may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
▪ Do not use blades with parameters not corresponding
to those mentioned above.
▪ Do not use abrasive wheels (for grinding or cutting).
▪ Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or
improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing
excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
▪ Do not reach underneath the work piece. The guard
cannot protect you from the blade below the work
piece.
▪ Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the work
piece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should
be visible below the work piece.
▪ Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across
your leg. Secure the work piece to a stable platform. It
is important to support the work properly to minimize
body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
▪ Never use damaged or incorrect blade flanges or bolt.
The blade flanges and bolt were specially designed
for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of
