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 sawing into existing walls or other
blind areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause
kickback.
Lower guard function
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.
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 fl oor.
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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Wear ear protectors.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when
working with the machine. The use of protective clothing is
recommended, such as dust mask, protective gloves, sturdy
non-slip footwear, helmet and ear defenders.
The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful to health.
Do not inhale the dust. Use a dust absorption system and wear a
suitable dust protection mask. Remove deposited dust thoroughly,
e.g. with a vacuum cleaner.
Do not use saw blades not corresponding to the key data given in
these instructions for use.
It is necessary to select a saw blade which is suitable for the
material being cut.
Use only woodworking blades specifi ed in this manual, which
comply with EN 847-1.
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the
maximum speed marked on the power tool.
Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fl y
apart.
Do not use abrasion disks in this machine!
Do not fi x the on/off switch in the „on“ position when using the saw
hand-held.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the machine.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or by
burning them. Your power tool distributor will normally retrieve old
batteries to protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short
circuit risk).
Use only System Berner chargers for charging System Berner
battery packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry
rooms. Keep dry at all times.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load
or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery acid wash
it off immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact rinse
thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical
attention.
Adapt the feed speed to avoid overheating the blade tips.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of fi re, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery
pack or charger in fl uid or al-low a fl uid to fl ow inside them.
Corrosive or conductive fl uids, such as seawater, certain industrial
chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., Can
cause a short circuit.
WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Adapt the feed speed to avoid overheating the blade tips and to
avoid melting plastic materials during cutting.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
This electronic circular saw can cut lengthways and mitre
accurately in wood.
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal use.
ELECTRIC BRAKE
The electric brake engages when the trigger is released, causing
the blade to stop and allowing you to proceed with your work.
Generally, the saw blade stops within two seconds. However, there
may be a delay between the time you release the trigger and when
the brake engages. Occasionally the brake may miss completely. If
the brake misses frequently, the saw needs servicing by an
authorized Berner service facility.
You must always wait for the blade to stop completely before
removing the saw from the workpiece.

BATTERIES
Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be
recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance
of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine
(risk of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully
charged, after used.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack
from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and
away from moisture
Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition
Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
