Do not use blunt or damaged cutting blades. Blunt or incorrectly positioned blade teeth create narrow
kerf, excessive friction, jamming of cutting blade and kick back.
Firmly set clamps for cutting depth and bevel angle before making a cut. Change of saw settings
during cutting may cause jamming and kick back.
Be very careful during plunge cutting in division walls. Cutting blade may encounter objects not
visible from the outside and cause kick back.
Ensure the lower guard is appropriately positioned before each use. Do not use the saw when the
lower guard does not move freely and does not close immediately. Do not fix and do not leave the
lower guard open. When the saw is accidentally dropped the lower guard may get deformed. Lift the
lower guard with pull-handle and ensure it is free to move and does not touch the blade nor any other
part of the tool for any setting of cutting depth and angle.
Check functioning of the lower guard spring. Repair the guard and its spring before use when they
do not work properly. Lower guard functioning may be slowed down due to damaged parts, sticky
sediments or building up of layers of wastes.
Manual pulling off the lower guard is allowed only when special cutting is performed, such as
"plunge cutting" and "compound cutting". Lift the lower guard with its pull handle. As soon as the
cutting blade sinks in the material the guard must be released. For all other cuts it is recommended
that the guard works automatically.
Always ensure the lower guard covers cutting blade before putting away the circular saw on the
workbench or floor. Uncovered, rotating blade will move the circular saw back and will cut everything
in its way. Consider time required for stopping the blade after the saw is switched off.
Always keep your hands away from rotating working tools. As a result of kick back, working tool may
cause hand injury.
Stay away from zone of power tool potential movement at kick back. At kick back the power tool
moves in direction opposite to movement of grinding disc at the place of jamming.
Be very careful when processing corners, sharp edges etc. Prevent rebound or jamming of work
tools. Rotating work tool is more susceptible to jamming when processing corners, sharp edges or after
rebound. It can cause loss of control or kick back.
Avoid jamming of cutting wheel and excessive pressure. Do not make too deep cuts. Overloading
cutting disc increases its load and risk of jamming or locking, and in consequence kick back or disc
breaking.
Do not switch on the power tool back, when it is still in processed material. Before cutting again,
cutting wheel should reach its full rotational speed. Otherwise the grinding wheel may catch
material, bounce out of work piece or cause kick back.
Be careful when cutting holes in walls and operating in other areas with reduced visibility. Wheel
plunging into material may cause kick back after hitting gas lines, water pipes, electric wires and other
objects.
CAUTION: This device is designed to operate indoors.
The design is assumed to be safe, protection measures and additional safety systems are used,
nevertheless there is always a small risk of injuries at work.
