Function of the lower protective cover
a) Check that the lower protective cover closes
correctly before every use. Do not use the saw if
the lower protective cover does not move freely
or does not close immediately. Never clamp or
bind the lower protective cover in the open posi-
tion. If the saw should accidentally fall to the floor,
the lower protective cover may be bent. Open the
protective cover with the pull-back lever and make
sure it moves freely and does not touch the saw
blade or any other parts with all cutting angles and
depths.
b) Check the condition and function of the spring
for the lower protective cover. Have the saw
maintained before use, if the lower protective
cover and spring do not function properly. Dam-
aged parts, sticky deposits or adhered chips cause
the lower protective cover to function with a delay.
c) Only open the lower protective cover by hand
for special cuts, such as "dip and angle cuts".
Open the lower protective cover with the pull-
back lever and release it as soon as the saw
blade dips into the workpiece. For all other saw-
ing operations, the lower protective cover should
operate automatically.
d) Do not place the saw on the workbench or the
floor without the lower protective cover cover-
ing the saw blade. An unprotected saw blade run-
ning on moves the saw against the cutting direction
and saws anything in its path. Note the run-on time
of the saw blade here.
Safety instructions for the use of saw
blades
• Avoid uncontrolled release of the saw unit in the
lower end position.
• Do not use damaged or deformed saw blades.
• Do not use saw blades with cracks. Separate
cracked saw blades. Repairs are not permitted.
• Do not use saw blades made of high speed steel.
• Check the condition of the saw blades before using
saws.
• Make sure that a suitable saw blade for the material
to be cut is selected.
• Only use saw blades recommended by the manu-
facturer.
Saw blades designed to cut wood and similar mate-
rials must comply with EN 847-1.
• Only use saw blades for which the maximum per-
missible speed is not lower than the maximum spin-
dle speed of the saw and which are suitable for the
material to be cut.
• Observe the direction of rotation of the saw blade.
• Only use saw blades if you have mastered their
use.
• Observe the maximum speed. The maximum speed
specified on the saw blade may not be exceeded. If
specified, observe the speed range.

• Clean dirt, grease, oil and water off of the clamping
surfaces.
• Do not use any loose reducing rings or bushes for
the reducing of holes on saw blades.
• Make sure that fixed reducer rings for securing the
saw blade have the same diameter and have at
least 1/3 of the cutting diameter.
• Make sure that fixed reducer rings are parallel to
each other.
• Handle saw blade with caution. They are ideally
stored in the originally package or special contain-
ers. Wear protective gloves in order to improve grip
and to further reduce the risk of injury.
• Prior to use, make sure that the saw blade meets
the technical requirements of this saw and is prop-
erly fastened.
• Only use the supplied saw blade for cutting wood,
never for the processing of metals.
• Use only a saw blade with a diameter that matches
the specifications on the saw.
• Use additional workpiece supports, if required for
workpiece stability.
• Workpiece support extensions must always be se-
cured and used during work.
• Replace table inlays when worn!
• Avoid overheating the saw teeth.
• When sawing plastic, avoid melting of the plastic.
Use the correct saw blades for the material to be
cut. Replace damaged or worn saw blades immedi-
ately.
When the saw blade overheats, stop the machine.
Allow the saw blade to cool down before using the
machine again.
• Use only saw blades that are marked with an equal
or higher rotational speed than the rotational speed
specified on the electric tool.
• Always ensure that the saw is stable and secure.
