• When the 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 mo-
tion 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 so that the saw
teeth are not engaged into the material. If a saw blade binds, 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. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near
the line of the 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 the
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.
Guard function
• Check the guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if the guard
does not move freely and enclose the blade instantly. Never clamp or tie the guard in any
way that exposes the blade. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the guard may be bent.
Check to make sure that the guard moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other
part, whatever the angle or cut depth.
• Check the operation and condition of the guard return spring. If the guard and the spring are
not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. The guard may operate sluggishly
due to damaged parts, gummy deposits or a build-up of debris.
• Make sure that the base plate of the saw will not shift while performing a "plunge cut".
A blade shifting sideways will cause binding and likely kickback.
• Always observe to make sure that the guard is covering the blade before placing the saw
down on a bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk back-
wards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after
the switch is released.
Additional safety warnings
• Do not allow the chip ejector to come into contact with your hands. You may be injured by
rotating parts.
• Do not use the saw above the level of your head. Doing so will mean you have inadequate
control of the power tool.
• Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local
utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock.
Damaging a gas line can lead to an explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property
damage or may cause an electric shock.
• Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice will be more
secure than if held by hand.
• Hold the power tool firmly with both hands and make sure you have a stable footing.
The power tool can be more securely guided with both hands.
• Do not operate the power tool when stationary. It is not suitable for operation with a saw table.
• Do not use HSS saw blades. Such saw blades can easily break.
• Do not saw any ferrous metals. Hot chips may ignite the dust extractor.
• Wear a dust mask. Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A ap-
