Functionality of the lower guard
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 instantly.
Never stick or bind the safety cover, as
the saw blade would be exposed through
doing so. 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 lower guard.
c) If you plunge cut at angles other than
right angles, secure the base 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
running 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.
When working with wood or materials creating
harmful dust, connect the device to a suitable
approved dust extraction system.
Wear a dust mask when cutting wood.
Only use the recommended saw blades.
Always wear ear protection.
Avoid the tips of the saw teeth overheating.
When cutting plastic, avoid melting the plastic.
Checking the guard
Pull the retraction lever for the guard all the way
back. The guard must move without sticking and
return to its original position after releasing the lever.

Safety notices for
cutting-off machines
a) The guard for the power tool must be
securely attached and adjusted to en-
sure maximum safety, i.e. the least
possible amount of the grinding disc is
exposed and pointed at the operator.
The operator and persons nearby must
stay away from the area of the rotat-
ing grinding disc. The purpose of the protec-
tive hood is to protect the operator from fragments
and unintentional contact with the grinding wheel.
b) Only use diamond-tip cut-off wheels
with your power tool. Simply because
accessories can be attached to your power tool
does not guarantee safe use.
c) The rated speed of the tool being used
must be at least the maximum speed
specified on the power tool. Accessories
turning faster than the rating can break and fly
about.
d) Only use abrasive wheels for the rec-
ommended applications.
For example: never grind using the side
of a cut-off wheel. Cut-off wheels are de-
signed to remove material using the edge the
of wheel. Applying force to the side of these
abrasive wheels can break them.
e) Always use intact clamping flanges
with the correct size and shape for se-
lected grinding disc. Suitable flanges will
