Safety notices specific to circular saws
blade in the saw gap and check that the
teeth are not stuck in the work piece.
If the saw blade jams, it can move out of the
work piece or cause kickback if the saw is re-
started.
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
at both ends, both near the saw gap as well
as near at the edge.
e) Do not use blunt or damaged saw
blades. Saw blades with blunt or misaligned
teeth cause greater friction, jamming of the
blade and kickback due to the saw gap being
too tight.
f) Tighten the blade depth and blade
angle before making your cut. If the ad-
justments change during cutting, the saw blade
can jam and cause a kickback.
g) Take particular care when cutting into
existing walls or other areas which
cannot be inspected. The saw blade can
jam when cutting into hidden objects, causing
kickback.
Guard functionality
a)
Before every use check that the safety
cover closes without problems. Do not
use the saw, if the safety cover does
not move freely and does not close in-
stantly. Never fix or tie back the safety
cover in the opened position. If the saw
is dropped accidentally, the safety cover can
be bent. Be sure it moves freely and does not
touch the saw blade or other parts at any angle
or depth.
b) Check the functionality of the guard
spring. Have the device maintained
prior to use if the guard and spring do
not work properly. Damaged parts, sticky
deposits or masses of wood shavings lead to
delayed operation of the guard.
c) When “plunge cutting“ at angles other
than right angles, secure the base plate
of the saw to prevent it from sliding
sideways. Lateral movement can lead to
jamming of the saw blade and therewith to
kickback.
d) Do not put the saw down on the bench
or on the floor without the guard co-
vering the saw blade. 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.
Additional instructions:
Do not use grinding discs.
Only use saw blade diameters corresponding
with the markings on the saw.
DANGER DUE To DUST!
When working on wood for extended periods
and particularly when working on materials
which generate dust which is dangerous to the
health, be sure to connect it to a suitable dust
extractor.
Wear safety gloves!
Wear a dust mask!
Wear protective glasses!
Always wear ear protection!
Avoid overheating the tips of the saw teeth.
When cutting plastic, avoid melting the plastic.
ToXIC VAPoURS! Wor-
king with harmful / noxious dusts represents a
risk to the health of the person operating the
device and to anyone near the work area.
Do not work on materials containing asbestos.
Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
