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.

Lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts

such as “plunge cuts” and “compound cuts.” Raise lower

guard by retracting handle and as soon as blade enters the

material, the lower guard must be released.

For all other

sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.

Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade

before placing 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.
Do not use saw blades not corresponding to the key data given in

these instructions for use.

Always wear ear protectors.

Exposure to noise can cause

hearing loss.
Please do not use abrasion disks in this machine!
Appliances used at many different locations including open air

must be connected via a current surge preventing switch.
Always wear goggles when using the machine. It is recommended

to wear gloves, sturdy non slipping shoes and apron.
Always disconnect the plug from the socket before carrying out any

work on the machine.
Only plug-in when machine is switched off.
Keep mains lead clear from working range of the machine. Always

lead the cable away behind you.
Before use check machine, cable, and plug for any damages or

material fatigue. Repairs should only be carried out by authorised

Service Agents.

Do not fix the on/off switch in the “on” position when using the saw

hand-held.
The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful to health.

Do not inhale the dust. Wear a suitable dust protection mask.

SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions,

including those given in the accompanying brochure

. Failure

to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock,

fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Danger:

Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade.

Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor

housing.

If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by

the blade.

Do not reach underneath the workpiece.

The guard cannot

protect you from the blade below the workpiece.

Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece.

Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the

workpiece.

Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg.

Secure the workpiece to a stable platform.

It is important to

support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade

binding, or loss of control.

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when

performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact

hidden wiring or its own cord.

Contact with a “live“ wire will also

make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live“ and shock the

operator.

When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide.

This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade

binding.

Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond

versus round) of arbour holes.

Blades that do not match the

mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of

control.

Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt.

The

blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for

optimum performance and safety of operation.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
- kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned

saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the

workpiece toward the operator;
- when the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing

down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly

back toward the operator;

- if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at

the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood

causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the

operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating

procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper

precautions as given below.

Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position

your arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body to

either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade.

Kickback

could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can

be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.

When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any

reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the

material until the blade comes to a complete 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 corrective actions to eliminate the cause of

blade binding.

When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade

in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the

material.

If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from

the workpiece as the saw is restarted.

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.

Do not use dull or damaged blades.

Unsharpened or improperly

set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade

binding and kickback.

Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight

and secure before making cut.

If blade adjustment shifts while

cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.

Use extra caution when making a “plunge cut” into existing

walls or other blind areas.

The protruding blade may cut objects

that can cause kickback.

Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not

operate the saw if lower guard does not move freely and close

instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open

position.

If saw is accidentally dropped, 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.

WARNING

The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745

and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with

different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total

working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running

but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.

Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep

the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
