SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL SAWS,
SAWING METHOD
a)
DANGER! Do not put your
hands in the cutting area or on
the saw blade. If you hold the saw with
both hands, they cannot be injured by
the saw blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the
workpiece. The protective hood cannot
protect you from the saw blade under
the workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness
of the workpiece. Less than one full
tooth height should be visible below
the workpiece.
d) Never hold the workpiece you want
to saw in your hands or over your
leg. Secure the workpiece in a sturdy
support. It is important to fasten the
workpiece securely to minimise the
risk of physical contact, the saw blade
jamming and loss of control.
e)
Hold the electric tool by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing
work in which the cutting tool may
come into contact with hidden wiring.
Contact with a live wire also causes
a charge in metal parts of the electric
tool and results in an electric shock.
f) When performing longitudinal cuts,
always use a stop or a straight edge
guide. This improves the cutting
precision while minimising the
possibility of the saw blade jamming.
g) Always use the right size saw blades
with the appropriate locating holes
(e.g. diamond or round). Saw blades
that do not fit in the saw fitting parts
run unevenly and lead to a loss of
control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect
saw blade washers or screws. The
saw blade washers and screws were
designed specifically for your saw
to ensure optimal performance and
dependability.

SPRING-BACK – CAUSES AND
CORRESPONDING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Spring-back is the sudden reaction
caused by a jammed, stuck or
improperly aligned saw blade resulting
in an out-of-control saw lifting and
moving out of the workpiece and
towards the operator.
• If the saw blade snags or gets caught
in the closing sawing gap or sticks, it
will jam, and the motor force will kick
the saw back towards the operator.
• If the saw blade is twisted in the saw
cut or incorrectly aligned, the teeth of
the rear edge of the saw blade can
jam in the wood surface, causing the
saw blade to move out of the sawing
gap and the saw to recoil in the
direction of the operator.
Spring-back is caused by wrongly or
incorrectly operating the saw. It can
be avoided by suitable precautionary
measures, such as those described below.
a) Hold the saw firmly and bring your
arm into a position in which you can
resist the spring-back force. Always
hold onto the side of the saw blade
and never align the saw blade with
your body. In the event of a spring-
back, the circular saw can kick back,
but the operator can keep control over
