8 ENGLISH
that the saw base plate does not move during
the "immersion". Moving the blade to the side
results in reduced movement with a high prob-
ability of recoil.
4. Always check that the protective cover covers
the disc before placing the saw on a work-
bench or the floor. An unprotected running-in
blade causes the saw to move backwards and
cut everything in its path. It is important to note
how long it takes to stop the blade after releas-
ing the switch.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
SPACER WEDGE SAWS
Spacer wedge function
1. A suitable saw blade that corresponds to the
spacer wedge must be used. For the spacer
wedge to work, the saw blade body must be
tangent to the spacer wedge and the blade
cutting width must be wider than the spacer
wedge thickness.
2. The spacer wedge must be adjusted as de-
scribed in these operating instructions. Im-
proper distance or position adjustment and in-
sufficient centring can cause the spacer wedge
to lose its function in terms of recoil prevention.
3. A spacer wedge must always be used except
when cutting by immersing the blade in the
material. After such cutting, the spacer wedge
must be refitted. When cutting by immersing
the disc in the material, the spacer wedge
strikes the workpiece and can cause recoil.
4. For the spacer wedge to work it must be posi-
tioned in the cutting groove. The spacer wedge
does not prevent recoil in the case of short cuts.
5. The saw must not be operated if the spacer
wedge is bent. Even light contact with the pro-
tective cover can slow down closing the protec-
tive cover.
