body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the 

blade . Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards, 

but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if 

proper precautions are taken .

•  When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any 

reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless 

in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop . 

Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull 

the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kick-

back may occur . Investigate and take corrective actions 

to eliminate the cause of blade binding .

•  When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw 

blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not en-

gaged into the material . If saw blade is binding, it may 

walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is 

restarted .

•  Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinch-

ing and kickback . Large panels tend to sag under their 

own weight . Supports must be placed under the panel 

on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of 

the panel .

•  Do not use dull or damaged blades . Unsharpened or im-

properly set blades produce narrow kerf causing exces-

sive friction, blade binding and kickback .

•  Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be 

tight and secure before making cut . If blade adjustment 

shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback .

•  Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or 

other blind areas . The protruding blade may cut objects 

that can cause kickback .

Lower guard function

•  Check lower guard for proper closing before each use . Do 

not operate the saw if lower guard does not move freely 

and close instantly . Never clamp or tie the lower guard 

into the open position . If saw is accidentally dropped, 

lower guard may be bent . Raise the lower guard with the 

retracting handle 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 .

•  The lower guard may be retracted manually only for spe-

cial cuts such as “plunge cuts and angle cuts” . Raise the 

lower guard by retracting the handle and as soon as the 

blade enters the material, release the lower guard . For all 

other sawing operations, the lower guard should operate 

automatically .

•  Always observe that the lower guard is covering the 

blade before placing saw down on bench or floor . An 

unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk 

backwards, cutting whatever is in its path . Be aware of 

the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is re-

leased .

Riving knife function

•  Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife . For 

the riving knife to function, the body of the blade must 

be thinner than the riving knife and the cutting width of 

the balde must be wider than the thickness of the riving 

knife .

•  Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction 

manual . Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment 

can make the riving knife ineffective in preventing kick-

back .

•  Always use the riving knife except when plunge cutting . 

Riving knife must be replaced after plunge cutting . Riv-

ing knife causes interference during plunge cutting and 

can create kickback .

•  For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged in the 

workpiece . The riving knife is ineffective in preventing 

kickback during short cuts .

•  Do not operate the saw if riving knife is bent . Even a light 

interference can slow the closing rate of a guard .

Additional safety warnings

•  Do not reach into the chip ejector with your hands . They 

could be injured by rotating parts .

•  Do not work overhead with the saw . In this manner you 

do not have sufficient control over the power tool .

•  Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hid-

den in the work area or call the local utility company for 

assistance . Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and 

electric shock . Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion . 

Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may 

cause an electric shock .

•  Do not operate the power tool stationary . It is not de-

signed for operation with a saw table .

•  Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw blades . Such saw 

blades can easily break .

•  Do not saw ferrous metals . Red hot chips can ignite the 

dust extraction .

•  When working with the machine, always hold it firmly 

with both hands and provide for a secure stance . The 

power tool is guided more secure with both hands .

•  Secure the workpiece . A workpiece clamped with clamp-

ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand .

•  Always wait until the machine has come to a complete 

stop before placing it down . The tool insert can jam and 

lead to loss of control over the power tool .

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Make sure that the machine is not live when carrying 

out maintenance work on the motor .

•  Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth, 

preferably after each use . Keep the ventilation slots free 

from dust and dirt .If the dirt does not come off use a soft 

cloth moistened with soapy water . Never use solvents 

such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc . These sol-

vents may damage the plastic parts .

•  The machine requires no additional lubrication .

•  Should a fault occur, e .g . after wear of a part, please con-

tact your local BORT GLOBAL LIMITED dealer .
