b) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece. Less than one full tooth height should
be visible beneath the workpiece.
c) Never hold the workpiece that is to be sawn in
the hand or over the leg. Secure the workpiece
on a stable support. It is important to fasten the
workpiece well, in order to minimise any risk of
physical contact, jamming of the saw blade or loss
of control.
d) When performing work during which the tool at-
tachment can meet with concealed power lines
or its own connection cable, hold the power tool
by the insulated gripping surfaces. Contact with
a live cable will also energise the metal parts of the
electrical tool and will lead to an electric shock.
e) When performing a longitudinal cut always use
a stop or a straight edge guide.This improves the
cutting accuracy and reduces the possibility of the
saw blade jamming.
f) Always use saw blades with correct size and
shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes.
Saw blades that do not match the mounting hard-
ware of the saw will run off-centre, causing loss of
control.
g) Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade
washers or screws. The saw blade washers and
screws have been specially designed for your saw,
for optimum performance and operational safety.
Additional instructions
a) Do not use grinding discs.
b) Make sure that a suitable saw blade for the material
to be cut is selected.
c) Saw blades designed to cut wood and similar mate-
rials must comply with EN 847-1.
d) The saw may only be used for sawing wood, plastic
and light building materials.
e) Only use saw blades with a speed marking equal to
or higher than the specified speed of your product.
f) Only use saw blades with 165 mm diameter that
match the inscriptions on the saw blade.
g) Avoid overheating the saw teeth.
h) When sawing plastic, avoid melting of the plastic.
Use the correct saw blades for the material to be
cut. Replace damaged or worn saw blades immedi-
ately.
When the saw blade overheats, stop the machine.
Allow the saw blade to cool down before using the
machine again.
i)
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece. Less than one full tooth height should
be visible beneath the workpiece.
j)
Wear a dust mask.
k) Wear hearing protection and safety goggles during
the entire operating period.
Further safety instructions for all saws
Kickback - causes and corresponding safety
instructions
• Kickback is a sudden reaction to a hooked, jammed
or incorrectly aligned saw blade, which leads to an
uncontrolled rebounding of the saw, whereby it
moves out of the workpiece in the direction of the
operator.
• If the saw blade hooks or jams in the closing sawing
gap, it is blocked and the motor power forces the
saw back in the direction of the operator.
• If the saw blade skews or is incorrectly aligned in
the saw cut, the teeth of the rear saw blade edge
can hook into the wooden surface, which results in
the saw blade moving out of the sawing gap and the
saw jumping back in the direction of the operator.
Kickback is the result of incorrect use or misuse of the
saw. It can be prevented by suitable precautionary
measures, as described in the following.
a) Hold the saw firmly with both hands and bring
your arms into a position in which you can ab-
sorb the kickback forces. Always stand to the
side of the saw blade; never bring the saw blade
in line with your body. During kickback, the circu-
lar saw can jump backwards, although the operator
is able to control the kickback forces using suitable
measures.
b) If the saw blade jams or you interrupt your work,
switch off the saw and hold the saw calmly in
the material, until the saw blade has come to a
standstill. Never attempt to remove the saw
from the workpiece or draw it backwards whilst
the saw blade is moving, otherwise kickback
can occur. Determine and remedy the cause of the
saw blade jamming.
c) If you wish to restart a saw that is inserted in a
workpiece, centre the saw blade in the sawing
gap and check that the saw teeth are not
hooked in the workpiece. If the saw blade is
hooked in, it can move out of the workpiece or
cause kick-back when the saw is restarted.
d) Support large panels to minimise the risk of saw
blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend
to sag under their own weight. Panels must be sup-
ported on both sides, that is both close to the saw-
ing gap and at the edge.
e) Do not use blunt or damaged saw blades. Saw
blades with blunt or incorrectly aligned teeth cause
increased friction, jamming of the saw blade and
kickback due to the sawing gap being too tight.
f) Before sawing, determine the cutting depth and
cutting angle settings. If you change the settings
during sawing, the saw blade can jam and result in
kickback.
g) Apply particular caution when sawing in exist-
ing walls or other areas that are not visible. The
plunging saw blade can jam in concealed objects
during sawing and result in kickback.
