caught by the rear section of the saw blade, gets
lifted from the saw table and thrown in the direc-
tion of the operator. Kickback is the result of the
bench-type circular saw being used incorrectly or
wrongly. It can be prevented by suitable precau-
tions, as described below.
a)
Never position yourself in a direct line
with the saw blade. Always stand to the
side of the saw blade, at the side with the
stop rail.
In the event of kickback, the work-
piece can be thrown at high speed towards
persons who are standing in line with the saw
blade.
b)
Never reach into or behind the saw blade
to pull or support the workpiece.
This
could lead to accidental contact with the saw
blade, or kickback could cause your
fi
ngers to
be drawn into the saw blade.
c)
Never hold and press a workpiece against
the rotating saw blade when you want to
saw the workpiece.
Pressing the workpiece
against the saw blade when sawing workpie-
ce will result in jamming and kickback.
d)
Align the stop rail parallel to the saw bla-
de.
If the stop rail is not properly aligned, the
workpiece will press against the saw blade
and cause kickback.
e)
Do not use this saw to cut rebates or
grooves.
For design reasons, the saw is not
suitable for such work. The splitter must never
be removed, because it prevents jamming
and kickbacks.
f)
Be particularly careful when sawing in
areas into which you cannot see on work-
pieces which have been joined together.
The plunge-cutting saw blade may saw into
objects which could cause kickback.
g)
Support large panels to reduce the risk
of a kickback by a jammed saw blade.
Large panels may sag under their own weight.
Panels must be provided with support at all
points where they project over the table sur-
face.
h)
Do not work on any workpieces which are
twisted, knotted or warped or do not have
a straight edge on which they can be
guided with a miter stop or along a stop
rail.
A warped, knotted or twisted workpiece
is instable and will lead to the misalignment of
the kerf with the saw blade, and jamming and
kickback.
i)
Never saw several workpieces stacked
one on top of the other or one after the
other.
The saw blade could catch one or
more parts and cause kickback.
j)
Do not start the saw if the saw is in the
workpiece.
If the saw blade is jammed it may
lift the workpiece and cause kickback when
the saw is restarted.
k)
Keep the saw blades clean, sharp and
adequately set. Never use bent saw bla-
des or saw blades with cracked or broken
teeth.
Saw blades which are sharp and pro-
perly set minimize jamming, blockages and
kickback.
4) Safety information for the operation of
bench-type circular saws
a)
Switch o
ff
the bench-type circular saw
and disconnect it from the mains power
supply before you remove the table in-
sert, change the saw blade, adjust the
splitter or the saw blade safety guard
and when the machine is left unattended.
Precautions are intended to help prevent ac-
cidents.
b)
Never leave the bench-type circular saw
running unattended. Switch o
ff
the power
tool and do not leave it before it has come
to a complete standstill.
A saw which is left
running unattended is an uncontrolled dan-
ger.
c)
Set the saw up at a location which is le-
vel and well-lit and where you can stand
steadily and keep your balance. The loca-
tion where you set it must provide su
ffi
ci-
ent space for you to handle your larger
workpieces easily.
Untidiness, unlit work
areas and uneven, slippery
fl
oors can lead to
accidents.
d)
Remove wood sawings and sawdust re-
gularly from under the saw table and/or
from the dust extractor.
Accumulations of
sawdust are combustible and can self-ignite.
e)
Secure the bench-type circular saw.
If the
bench-type circular saw is not properly secu-
red, it could move or topple over.
f)
Remove all adjusting tools, residual
wood, etc., from the bench-type circular
saw before you switch it on.
Distractions or
possible jams can be dangerous.
g)
Always use saw blades of the correct
size and with a suitable mounting hole
(diamond-shaped or round).
Saw blades
that do not match the mounting parts of the
saw will not rotate truly and will result in a loss
of control.
h)
Never use damaged or the incorrect saw
blade assembly material such as, e.g.
fl
anges, washers, screws or nuts.
