General safety advice for electrical power tools
piece or cause a kickback, when the saw is
started anew.
d) Support big boards to reduce the risk
of a kickback due to a jamming saw
blade. Big boards can bend through due to
their own weight. Boards must be supported
on both sides, at the outside and near the
cutting edge.
e) Do not use blunt or damaged saw
blades. Saw blades with blunt or wrongly set
teeth cause increased friction, jamming of the
blade and kickback due to a saw gap that is
too tight.
f) Tighten the adjustments for cutting
depth and cutting angle before start-
ing to cut. If the adjustments change during
cutting, the saw blade can jam and cause a
kickback.
g) Take particular care, when plunge
cutting into existing walls or other
areas that you cannot inspect. The saw
blade can jam when cutting into hidden ob-
jects and thereby causing a kickback.
Safety instructions for
plunge saws
a) Before every use check that the safe-
ty cover closes without problems. Do
not use the saw, if the safety cover
does not move freely and does not
close instantly. Never fix or tie back
the safety cover in the opened posi-
tion. If the saw is dropped accidentally, the
safety cover can be bent. Ensure that the safety
cover moves freely and does not touch either
the saw blade or other parts.
b) Check condition and function of the
safety cover spring. If safety cover
and spring do not work faultlessly,
get the saw serviced before using it.
Damaged parts, sticky deposits or masses of
wood shavings lead to delayed operation of
the bottom safety cover.
c) If you plunge cut at angles other than
right angles, secure the guide plate of
the saw to prevent sliding sideways.
Lateral movement can lead to jamming of the
saw blade and therewith to kickback.
d) Do not put the saw done on the bench
or on the floor without covering the
saw blade with the safety cover. An
unprotected saw blade moves the saw against
the direction of the cut, and cuts everything
that is in the way. Please keep in mind that the
saw runs on.
Please ensure that only persons over 16 years
of age operate this appliance according to the
instructions in this operating instructions!
Note: Do not use grinding discs. Injuries and dam-
age to objects could result.
