plete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the

work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in

motion or kickback may occur. 

Investigate and take cor-

rective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.

u

When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the

saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not en-

gaged into the material.

 If a saw blade binds, it may walk

up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restar-

ted.

u

Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade

pinching 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.

u

Do not use dull or damaged blades.

 Unsharpened or im-

properly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excess-

ive friction, blade binding and kickback.

u

Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must

be tight and secure before making the cut. 

If blade ad-

justment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and

kickback.

u

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

u

Check the 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 into the open position.

If the saw is ac-

cidentally dropped, the 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.

u

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.

u

The lower guard may be retracted manually only for

special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and "compound

cuts”. Raise the lower guard by the retracting handle

and as soon as the blade enters the material, the lower

guard must be released.

For all other sawing, the lower

guard should operate automatically.

u

Always observe that the lower guard is covering the

blade before placing the 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 released.

Additional safety warnings

u

Do not allow the chip ejector to come into contact with

your hands.

 You may be injured by rotating parts.

u

Do not use the saw above the level of your head.

 Doing

so will mean you have inadequate control of the power

tool.

u

Use suitable detectors to determine if there are hid-

den supply lines or contact the local utility company

for assistance.

 Contact with electric cables can cause

fire and electric shock. Damaging gas lines can lead to ex-

plosion. Breaking water pipes causes property damage.

u

Do not operate the power tool when stationary .

 It is

not suitable for operation with a saw table.

u

When performing plunge cuts which are not right-

angled, secure the guide plate of the saw so that it will

not shift sideways.

In the event of a sideways shift, the

saw blade may become jammed, which could lead to kick-

back.

u

Do not use HSS saw blades. 

Such saw blades can easily

break.

u

Do not saw any ferrous metals.

 Hot chips may ignite the

dust extractor.

u

In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-

pours may be emitted. 

Ensure the area is well-ventilated

and seek medical attention should you experience any ad-

verse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory

system.

u

Do not open the battery. 

There is a risk of short-circuit-

ing.

u

The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such

as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.

An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to

burn, smoke, explode or overheat.

u

Only use the battery with products from the manufac-

turer.

 This is the only way in which you can protect the

battery against dangerous overload.

Protect the battery against heat, e.g.

against continuous intense sunlight, fire,

water and moisture.

 There is a risk of explo-

sion.

u

Always wait until the power tool has come to a com-

plete stop before placing it down.

 The application tool

can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.

u

Hold the power tool firmly with both hands and make

sure you have a stable footing.

 The power tool can be

more securely guided with both hands.
