Operational protection devices
• Ensure that all devices screening the saw blade
are in perfect working order.
• Never jam the saw blade guards.
• Free a jammed saw blade guard immediately and
do not use the saw if the guard is jammed.
Guard against kickback
• Kickback occurs when the saw begins to stall
rapidly and is driven back towards the operator.
Release the switch immediately if the blade sticks
or the saw stalls.
• Keep the saw blades sharp.
• Do not remove the saw from the work during a
cut while the saw blade is rotating.
Checking and changing the saw blade
• Use only the saw blades specified in this manual.
Never use abrasive cut-off wheels or other types
of cutting blade.
• Only sharp saw blades in perfect working condition
should be used; cracked or bent saw blades
should be discarded and replaced at once.
• Ensure that the saw blade is securely fixed and
rotates in the correct direction.
Applications
• The circular saw must only be used for ferrous
metal.
• Do not cut non-ferrous metals, stainless steel
and synthetic materials when using the saw
blade supplied with this tool.
• Do not cut concrete, brick, tile or ceramic materials.
• Do not cut cast-iron materials.
• Never cut magnesium materials.
• Do not cut solid materials (e.g. rods) with a body
thickness exceeding 20 mm.
• Do not cut profiles and other shaped materials
(e.g. pipes, boxes) with a wall thickness
exceeding 3 mm.
• When sawing with the workpiece clamped tight,
devices should be used to prevent the workpiece
kicking back.
• When sawing circular sections of metal use a
device to hold the workpiece steady on both
sides of the saw blade to prevent slipping.
• Take care that pieces of metal sawn off the
workpiece cannot be caught up by the teeth of
the saw blade and thrown in the air.
