head is completely in the down position. The
braking action of the saw may cause the saw head to
be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR WOOD CUTTING
BLADE
■
Please read the manual and instructions carefully before
using the saw blade and the machine.
■
The product must be in good condition, the spindle
without deformation and vibration.
■
Do not use the product without the guards in position.
Keep guards in good working order and properly
maintained.
■
Ensure the operator is adequately trained in safety
precautions, adjustment and operation of the product.
■
Always wear goggles and ear protection when using the
product. It is recommended to wear gloves, sturdy non

■
Before using any accessory, consult the instruction
manual. The improper use of an accessory can cause
damage and increase the potential for injury.
■
Use only blades specified in this manual, complying with
EN 847-1.
■
Observe the maximum speed marked on the saw blade.
Ensure the speed marked on the saw blade is at least
equal to the speed marked on the saw.
■
Always use blades with correct size and shape of arbour
holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware
of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
■
Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than
recommended. Do not use any spacers to make the
blade fit onto the spindle.
■
Check the tips of the saw blade for damage or abnormal
appearance before each use. Tips that are damaged or
loose can become flying objects in use and increase the
chance of personal injury.
■
Do not use cracked or distorted saw blades. Do not use
saw blades that are damaged or deformed.
■
Scrap the saw blade if damaged, deformed, distorted or
cracked, repairing is not permitted.
■
Do not use HSS blades.
■
Ensure the saw blade is mounted correctly, tighten the
arbor nut securely before use (tightening torque approx.
12-15 Nm).
■
Fastening screw and nuts shall be tightened using the
appropriate spanner, etc.
■
Extension of the spanner or tightening using hammer
blows is not permitted.
■
Make sure the blade and flanges are clean and the
recessed sides of the collar are against the blade.
■
Make sure the blade rotates in the correct direction.
■
Before work, make a dummy cut without the motor turned
on so the position of the blade, operation of the guards
with respect to other machine parts and workpiece may
be checked.
■
Never leave the product unattended.
■
Do not apply lubricants on the blade when it is running.
■
Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work when
the machine is still running and the head is not in the
rest position.
■
Never attempt to stop a machine in motion rapidly by
jamming a tool or other means against the blade, serious
accidents can be caused unintentionally in this way.
■
Disconnect the product from the mains supply or remove
battery pack before changing blades or carrying out
maintenance.
■
Pay attention to blade packing and unpacking, it is easy
to be injured by the sharp blade tips.
■
Use a blade holder or wear gloves when handling a saw
blade.
■
Keep and store the blade in original packaging or other
suitable packaging, keep in dry conditions and away
from chemicals which may damage the blade.
