MT55cc
- Support large panels to reduce the risk of a kickback from a jammed saw blade. Large panels tend to
sag under their own weight. Panels must be supported on both sides: near the kerf and at the edge.
Fig. 5: Incorrect support vs. correct support
- Never use blunt or damaged saw blades. The kerf produced by a saw blade with blunt or incorrectly
aligned teeth is too narrow, causing increased friction, jamming of the saw blade and kickback.
- Prior to starting sawing, tighten the cutting depth and cutting angle settings. If the settings change
during the sawing process, there is a risk of a jamming saw blade and kickback.
- Be particularly careful when sawing into existing walls or other concealed areas. The saw blade can
jam and cause kickback when cutting into hidden objects.
Function of the guard
- Before each use, check to ensure that the saw blade can be moved downward out of the protective
hood after the switch-on lock has been actuated, and that it returns to its fully retracted position and
engages there when the load is released. The guard can be bent if the saw drops to the ground. Ensure
that the saw blade moves freely and does not get in contact with the guard or other parts at all cutting
angles and cutting depths.
- Check the function of the spring for the guard. Have the saw serviced before use if guard and/or
spring do not function properly. Damaged parts, sticky deposits or accumulations of chips delay the
operation of the guard.
- Never put the saw down on the workbench or the ground when the saw blade is not fully retracted
into the guard. An unprotected coasting saw blade will move the saw in the opposite direction of the cut
and cut whatever is in its path. Be aware of the coasting time of the saw blade.
