cause the saw to be thrown back, but the force
caused by the recoil can be handled by the
user taking the appropriate safety precautions.

• If the saw blade becomes stuck or if it is nec-

essary to interrupt the cut for any reason, the
switch control must be released, and the saw
held in place in the material until the saw blade
comes to a complete stop. The operator must
never attempt to lift the saw from the cut or pull
it back while the saw blade is in motion; in such
cases, recoil may occur. It is necessary to look
for the causes of the saw blade jamming and
ways to eliminate these causes.

• If the saw disc is lowered in the workpiece, the

saw blade must be centred in the cut so that
the saw teeth are not immersed in the material.
If the saw blade jams, the saw may be pushed
upwards from the workpiece or recoil may oc-
cur.

• Large sawn timber must be supported to min-

imize the risk of recoil and the saw blade jam-
ming. Large sawn timber tends to sag under its
own weight. There must be pads on both sides
under the board near the cut and near the edg-
es.

• Blunt or damaged saw blades must not be

used. Unsharpened or incorrectly adjusted
saw blades create a narrow cutting groove and
cause excessive friction, which limits the rota-
tion of the blade and leads to recoil.

• Before cutting, the levers for adjusting the

depth of the cut and the bevel angle of the saw
blade must be sufficiently and reliably tight-
ened If the disc position changes during cut-
ting, the blade may jam and recoil may occur.

• Extra care must be taken when cutting into ex-

isting walls or other places where you cannot
see. A disc that penetrates the other side of
the material can cut into the object, which can
cause recoil.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAWS WITH

AN EXTERNAL PIVOTING COVER AND SAWS

WITH A TRAILING COVER

Lower protection function

1. Before each use, make sure that the lower

guard is fully closed. Do not operate the saw
unless the lower protection cover moves freely

and engages immediately. The lower protec-
tion cover must never be secured in the open
position, e.g. by clamping or tying. If the saw is
accidentally dropped on the ground, the low-
er guard may bend. The lower protective cov-
er must be opened using the tilting lever and
make sure that it moves freely and does not
touch the saw blade or any other part of the
saw at any opening angle or set depth of cut.

2. The function of the lower guard spring must

be checked. If the protective cover and return
spring does not work properly, these parts
must be repaired before use. The lower guard
may react slowly due to a damaged part, sticky
deposits or dirt.

3. The lower guard may only be opened manually

in special cutting cases, such as "immersion"
or "composite" cuts. The protective cover must
be opened using the tilting lever and released
as soon as the saw blade penetrates the mate-
rial. In all other cutting cases, the lower guard
should operate automatically.

4. Before placing the saw on a workbench or the

floor, always make sure that the lower guard
covers the saw blade. An unprotected run-
ning-in blade causes the saw to move back-
wards and cut everything in its path. It is impor-
tant to note how long it takes to stop the blade
after releasing the switch.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMERSIBLE

SAWS

Protective cover function

1. Before each use, make sure that the protective

cover closes properly. The saw must not be op-
erated unless the guard moves freely and im-
mediately covers the saw blade. The protective
cover must never be secured, e.g. with clamps
or tying, in the position where the saw blade
is exposed. If the saw is accidentally dropped
on the ground, the guard may bend. Make sure
that the guard moves freely and does not touch
the blade or any other part of the saw at any
opening angle or set depth of cut.

2. The function and condition of the protective

cover return spring must be checked. If the
function of the protection cover and its use is
not correct, these parts must be repaired be-
fore use. The protective cover may react slowly
due to a damaged part, sticky deposits or dirt.

3. If "immersion" cutting is performed, make sure
