 If the saw blade jams or sawing is interrupted for any reason, release the ON / OFF switch
and calmly hold the saw in the material until the saw blade stands completely still. Never
attempt to remove the saw from the workpiece or pull it backwards as long as the saw
blade is moving or a kickback might occur. Find the cause of the saw blade jam and
eliminate them through appropriate measures.
 When you want to restart a saw that is stuck in a workpiece, center the saw blade in the
saw gap and check that the saw teeth are not stuck in the workpiece. If the saw blade
jams, it can move out from the workpiece or a kickback can happen if the saw is restarted.
 Prop up large panels in order to minimise the risk of a kickback by a jammed saw blade.
Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Panels must be supported on both sides,
both in the vicinity of the saw gap as well as on the edge.
 Do not use dull or damaged saw blades. Saw blades with blunt or misaligned teeth cause
increased friction, jamming of the saw blade and kickback by an excessively narrow saw
gap.
 Tighten the cutting depth position prior to cutting. If the settings change while cutting, the
saw blade can jam and a kickback can occur.
 Be especially careful if you perform a "circular cut" in a hidden area, such as an existing
wall. The protruding saw blade can get blocked in hidden objects while cutting and cause
a kickback.
 Do not place the saw on the workbench or the floor unless the saw blade is at a standstill.
An unprotected, running saw blade moves the saw against the cutting direction and cuts
whatever is in its way. Thus note the delay time of the saw.
 For this reason, the saw is not suitable for use in reverse position as fixed equipment.
 Do not operate the saw if it is not working properly or has been damaged. In case of
technical problems, do not attempt to repair it on your own. Contact the service or have
the saw repaired by a professional.

8.2 Guide rails and clamps (Fig. 1)
The guide rails allow precise and clean straight cuts, miter cuts and fitting. The rails also
protect the work piece surface from damages.
Fixing with the clamps ensures solid grip and safe work.
 Place the guide rail on the work piece and fix the guide rail with the clamps. Slide the bar
into the groove of the guide rail and tighten the clamp with the lever.
 Place the plunge saw on the guide rail. The base plate has a groove (13), which exactly
fits into the guide ridge of the rail.
