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.
Additional safety instructions for all saws with riv-
ing knife
a) Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving
knife. For the riving knife to function, the body of
the blade must be thinner than the riving knife and
the cutting width of the blade must be wider than
the thickness of the riving knife.
b) Adjust the riving knife as described in this in-
struction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning
and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective
in preventing kickback.
c) Always use the riving knife except when
plunge cutting. Riving knife must be replaced af-
ter plunge cutting. Riving knife causes interference
d) For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged
in the workpiece. The riving knife is ineffective in
preventing kickback during short cuts.
e) Do not operate the saw if riving knife is bent.
Even a light interference can slow the closing rate
of a guard.
Wear hearing protection during continuous
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.
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
operation.
▪ Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be
left around the work area.
▪ The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose.
Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual
will be considered a case of misuse. The user and not
the manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or in-
jury resulting from such cases of misuse.
▪ To use this tool properly, you must observe the safety
regulations, the assembly instructions and the operat-
ing instructions found in this Manual. All persons who
use and service the machine have to be acquainted
with this Manual and must be informed about its poten-
tial hazards. Children and frail people must not use this
tool. Children should be supervised at all times if they
are in the area in which the tool is being used. It is also
imperative that you observe the accident prevention
