Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures
or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below.
a) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position
your arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body to either
side of the blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback could
cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by
the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
b) When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any
reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the
material until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never att-
empt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward
while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur.Investigate and
take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw
blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged into the
material. If the saw blade binds, it may lift up the workpiece and cause
kickback when the saw is restarted.
d) Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching
and kickback.Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports
must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and
near the edge of the panel.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly
set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding
and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight
and secure before making the cut. If blade adjustment shifts while
cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
g) Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other
blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause
kickback.
Lower guard function
a) Check the lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do
not operate the saw if the lower guard does not move freely and
close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open
position. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the 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.
b) Check the operation of the lower guard spring. 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.
c) The lower guard may be retracted manually only for special
cuts such as „plunge cuts" and „compound cuts". Raise the lower
guard by the retracting handle and as soon as the blade enters
the material, the lower guard must be released. For all other
sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.
d) Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade
before placing the 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.
WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Adapt the feed speed to avoid overheating the blade tips.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when working
with the machine. The use of protective clothing is recommended,
such as dust mask, protective gloves, sturdy non-slip footwear,
helmet and ear defenders.
The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful to health.
Do not inhale the dust. Use a dust absorption system and wear a
suitable dust protection mask. Remove deposited dust thoroughly,
e.g. with a vacuum cleaner.
Do not use saw blades not corresponding to the key data given in
these instructions for use.
It is necessary to select a saw blade which is suitable for the material
being cut.
Use only woodworking blades specified in this manual, which comply
with EN 847-1.
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the
maximum speed marked on the power tool.
Do not use abrasion discs in this machine!
Do not fix the on/off switch in the „on" position when using the saw
hand-held.
MAINS CONNECTION
Connect only to single-phase AC system voltage as indicated on the rating
plate. It is also possible to connect to sockets without an earthing contact
as the design conforms to safety class II.
Appliances used at many different locations including wet room and
open air must be connected via a residual current device (FI, RCD, PRCD)
of 30mA or less.
Only plug-in when machine is switched off.
Do not let any metal parts enter the airing slots - danger of short circuit!
Keep mains lead clear from working range of the machine. Always lead
the cable away behind you.
Before use check machine, cable, safety harness and plug for any dama-
ges or material fatigue. Repairs should only be carried out by authorised
Service Agents.
A power spike causes voltage fluctuations and may affect other electrical
products in the same power line. Connect the product to a power supply
with an impedance equal to 0.3 Ω to minimize voltage fluctuations.
Contact your electric power supplier for further clarification.
