2. General Safety Rules

secure before making a cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause

binding and kickback.

Use extra caution when making a "plunge cut" into existing walls or

other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.

Safety instructions regarding lower guard

Check 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 in the open position. If the saw is accidentally

dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the blade guard

lever 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. 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 special cuts such as

"plunge cuts" and "compound cuts". Raise lower guard by blade guard

lever. As soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must be

released. For all other sawing tasks, the lower guard should operate automatically.

Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before

placing the saw down on bench or oor. An unprotected, coasting blade will

cause the saw to walk backward, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the

time it takes for the blade to stop after the switch is released.

Residual risks

Even when the power tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate

all residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise in connection with the

power tool's construction and design:

Damage to lungs if an e ective dust mask is not worn.

Damage to hearing if e ective hearing protection is not worn.

Damages to health resulting from vibration emission if the power tool is being

used over longer period of time or not adequately managed and properly main-

tained.
