Safety instructions for saws with a pendulum blade guard
Check lower guard for proper closing before each
N
use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not
move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie
the lower guard into the open position. If saw is
accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the
lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it
moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other
part, in all angles and depths of cut.
Check the operation of the lower guard spring.
N
If the guard and the spring are not operating
properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower
guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts,
gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
Lower guard should be retracted manually only for
N
special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and "compound
cuts." Raise lower guard by retracting handle and
as soon as blade enters the material, the lower
guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower
guard should operate automatically.
Always observe that the lower guard is covering
N
the blade before placing saw down on bench or
floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw
to walk backwards, cutting whatever 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 riving knife
Use the appropriate riving knife for the blade being
N
used. For the riving knife to work, it must be thicker than
the body of the blade but thinner than the tooth set of the
blade.
Adjust the riving knife as described in this
N
instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning and
alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in preventing
kickback.
Always use the riving knife except when plunge
N
cutting. Riving knife must be replaced after plunge
cutting. Riving knife causes interference during plunge
cutting and can create kickback.
For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged in
N
the workpiece. The riving knife is ineffective in
preventing kickback during short cuts.
Do not operate the saw if riving knife is bent. Even a
N
light interference can slow the closing rate of a guard.
Additional safety instructions for circular saws
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing
N
loss.
Preferably wear a dust mask.
N
6
Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than
N
recommended. For the proper blade rating refer to the
technical data. Use only the blades specified in this
manual, complying with EN 847-1.
Never use abrasive cut-off wheels.
