If the saw blade jams or sawing is interrupted for any reason, release the ON / OFF switch 
and calmly hold the saw in the material until the saw blade stands completely still. Never 
attempt to remove the saw from the workpiece or pull it backwards as long as the saw 
blade is moving or a kickback might occur. Find the cause of the saw blade jam and 
eliminate them through appropriate measures. 

 

When you want to restart a saw that is stuck in a workpiece, centre the saw blade in the 
saw gap and check that the saw teeth are not stuck in the workpiece. If the saw blade 
jams, it can move out from the workpiece or a kickback can happen if the saw is restarted. 

 

Prop up large panels in order to minimise the risk of a kickback by a jammed saw blade. 
Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Panels must be supported on both sides, 
both in the vicinity of the saw gap as well as on the edge. 

 

Do not use dull or damaged saw blades. Saw blades with blunt or misaligned teeth cause 
increased friction, jamming of the saw blade and kickback by an excessively narrow saw 
gap.  

 

Tighten the cutting depth position prior to cutting. If the settings change while cutting, the 
saw blade can jam and a kickback can occur. 

 

Be especially careful if you perform a "circular cut" in a hidden area, such as an existing 
wall. The protruding saw blade can get blocked in hidden objects while cutting and cause 
a kickback. 

 

Do not place the saw on the workbench or the floor unless the saw blade is at a standstill. 
An unprotected, running saw blade moves the saw against the cutting direction and cuts 
whatever is in its way. Thus note the delay time of the saw. 

 

For this reason, the saw is not suitable for use in reverse position as fixed equipment. 

 

Do not operate the saw if it is not working properly or has been damaged. In case of 
technical problems, do not attempt to repair it on your own. Contact the service or have 
the saw repaired by a professional. 

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LASERS 

Warning!  The  laser  beam  potentially  causes  eye  damage.  Do  not  look  or 
stare into the laser beam. 

 

During use, do not point the laser beam at people, directly or indirectly through reflecting 
surfaces. 

 

This laser complies with class 2 according to the relevant standard. The unit includes no 
servicing components. Do not open the housing for any reason. If the unit is damaged, 
have the damage repaired by an authorized repair agent. 

 

Laser viewing glasses are not protective glasses against laser radiation. 

ASSEMBLY 

9.1 

Setting the cutting depth (Fig. 1) 

NOTE:  If  possible  we  recommend  that  the  cutting  depth  is  set 
approximately 2 mm deeper than the material thickness. This should help to 
ensure you achieve a clean cut. 

Unclamp the lock lever of the cutting depth setting clamp (6), set the required cutting depth on 
the scale (4) and re-clamp the lock lever.
