▪ 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 oper-
ate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy depos-
its, or a build-up of debris.
▪ Never start the power tool under load. Make sure that
the saw blade is not in contact with the work piece
when you switch the machine on.
▪ Always switch off and wait until the saw blade has
come to a complete standstill before removing the
machine from the work piece.
▪ Never apply side pressure to stop the blade rotation
after switching off the saw.
▪ Do not touch the saw blade immediately after opera-
tion. It may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
▪ Do not use blades with parameters not corresponding
to those mentioned above.
▪ Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or
improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing
excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
▪ Do not reach underneath the work piece. The guard
cannot protect you from the blade below the work
piece.
▪ Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the work
piece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should
be visible below the work piece.
▪ Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across
your leg. Secure the work piece to a stable platform. It
is important to support the work properly to minimize
body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
▪ Never use damaged or incorrect blade flanges or bolt.
The blade flanges and bolt were specially designed
for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of
operation.
▪ Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be
left around the work area.
Causes and prevention of kickback
▪ Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or
misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to
lift up and out of the work piece toward the operator.
▪ When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf
closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction
drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator.
▪ If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut,
the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the
top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out
of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect op-
erating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
а ) 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 ON/OFF trigger and
hold the saw motionless in the material until the
blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt
to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw
backward while the blade is in motion or kickback

VI - Know your product
Before using the power tool, familiarize yourself with all
the operating features and safety requirements.
Use the tool and accessories only for the applications
intended. All other applications are expressly ruled out.

may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions
to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
c) When restarting a saw in the work piece, centre the
saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are
not engaged into the material. If saw blade is bind-
ing, it may walk up or kickback from the work piece
as 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.
