Hold the device by the insulated han-
dle surfaces when performing work
where there is danger of the tool used
striking hidden electrical lines or its
own power cable. Contact with a live wire
could cause metal parts of the device to be-
come live and lead to electric shock.

Safety instructions for all saws

DANGER: Stay with your hands out
a)
of the cutting area and keep off the
cutting disc. If you hold the saw with both
hands, they cannot be injured by the saw blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the work-
piece. The protective cover will not protect
you from the saw blade under the work piece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thick-
ness of the work piece. Less than the full
width of a tooth should be visible from under
the work piece.
d) Never hold the workpiece with the
hand or lay it over a leg. Secure the
workpiece on a stable fixture. It is
important to fix the work piece safely, to mini-
mise the danger of contact with the body,
jamming of the saw blade or loss of control.
e) Hold the electrical power tool by the
insulated handle surfaces when you
are undertaking work where there is
the danger of the tool striking hidden
electricity cables or the device's mains
lead. Contact with a live wire could cause
metal parts of the electrical power tool to
become live and lead to electric shock.
f) When cutting along the way always
use a fence or a straight edge guide.
That improves the precision of the cut and mini-
mises the possibility that the saw blade jams.
g) Always use saw blades of the correct
size and with matching mounting hole
(e.g. star-shaped or round). Saw blades
not matching the attachments of the saw run
untrue and lead to loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or wrong saw
blade washers or bolts. The saw blade
washers and screws were specifically devel-

Reasons for and how to avoid a kickback:
-
A kickback is the sudden reaction, if the saw
blade sticks, jams or is misaligned and the
uncontrolled saw moves out of the work piece
in the direction of the operator.
-
If the saw blade wedges, sticks or jams itself
into the closing saw gap, it blocks and the mo-
tor power kicks the saw back into the direction
of the operator.
-
If the saw blade is twisted or wrongly aligned
in the saw gap, the teeth of the rear blade edge
can jam in the surface of the work piece, caus-
ing the saw blade to move out of the saw gap
and the saw to jump back in the direction of
the operator.
A kickback is the result of wrong or unsuitable use
of the saw. It can be avoided by taking the in the
following described precautions.
a) Hold the saw with both hands and
bring your arms into a position that
allows you to absorb the forces of the
kickback. Always stand to the side of
the saw blade, never bring the saw
blade into a line with your body. Dur-
ing a kickback the saw can jump backwards,
however, the operator can master the forces of
the kickback with suitable preventive measures.
b) Should the saw blade jam, or you stop
the work, switch the saw off and hold
it still in the work piece, until the saw
blade has come to a standstill. Never
attempt to remove the saw from the
work piece or to pull it backwards, as
long as the saw blade moves, as oth-
erwise a kickback could occur. Find out
and rectify the reason for the jamming of the
saw blade.
c) If you want to restart a saw that is stuck
in the workpiece, centre the saw blade
in the saw gap and check that the teeth
are not stuck in the workpiece. If the
saw blade jams, it can move out of the work
