blade guard and the spring do not op-
erate properly, have the machine serv-
iced before using. The retracting blade
guard may operate sluggish due to dam-
aged parts, gummy deposits or build-up of
chips/sawdust.
c) Only pull back the retracting blade
guard manually for special cuts, such as
"plunge and bevel cuts". Pull back the
retracting blade guard with the pull-
back lever and release it as soon as the
saw blade has penetrated the work. For
all other sawing jobs, the re tracting blade
guard must operate auto matically.
d) Do not place down the saw on a work
bench or the ground without the re-
tracting blade guard covering the saw
blade. An unprotected, coasting saw blade
will move the saw in the op posite direction
of the cut, cutting what ever is in its path.
Pay attention to the run-on period of the
saw.
e) Use the matching riving knife for the
saw blade being worked with. The riv-
ing knife must be wider than the thick ness
of the blade back, but thinner than the kerf
width of the saw blade.
f) Adjust the riving knife as described
in the operating instructions. Incor rect
width, position and alignment can be the
cause that the riving knife does not effec-
tively prevent kickback.
g) Always use the riving knife, except
when performing plunge cuts. After the
plunge cut, mount the riving knife again.
The riving knife interferes when performing
plunge cuts and can lead to kickback.
h) In order for the riving knife to be ef-
fective, it must be located in the cut.
For short cuts, the riving knife is ineffec tive
for the prevention of kickback.
i) Do not operate the saw with a bent riv-
ing knife. Even a minor malfunction can
lead to sluggish retraction of the re tracting
blade guard.

Commissioning and
Operation
WARNING
Risk of injury, if the tools are used with
wrong supply power.
The voltage specifications on the rating plate
must correspond with the mains voltage.
Equipment marked with 230 V can also be con-
nected to 220 V / 240 V.
Check that the plug type is the same as the
socket type.
Adjustment of the riving knife
WARNING
Risk of injury, if the riving knife is not
correctly adjusted.
The riving knife [1-11] must always be used
for safety reasons. The riving knife prevents
the saw blade from becoming jammed when
making lengthwise cuts.
Loosen screw [1-12], adjust the riving knife
[1-11] and retighten the screw (see figure).
