again.
A signal sounds, the status LED lights up green.
The kickback stop function operates fault-free.
If no signal sounds and the status LED does not
switch to green, the kickback stop function is
not operating fault-free.

ried out correctly.
► Clean the feeler unit behind the saw blade
(see "Changing the saw blade").
If the function testing remains unsuccessful,
the machine must no longer be used. Contact
