1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE
PLUNGE-CUT CIRCULAR SAW
1.1 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
• We recommend that, while using the machine, you
keep the documents relating to it within reach, so that
you can consult them if necessary while working. We
also recommend that if possible, you keep a copy in a
safe place.
• Check the condition of the plug and cable every time
you use the machine.
• Unplug the power supply before handling the machine.
• Always keep the cable away from the moving parts
of your machine.
• Only plug into the power socket with the machine
switched off.
• If you need to use an electric extension lead, the wires
must be at least 1 mm
2
in diameter and the cable must
be completely unwound.
• Use a blocking device for the piece you are going
to work on whenever possible, so that it does not slip.
• In the event of jamming, turn the machine off imme-
diately and unplug the power supply. Do not resume work
without having removed the cause of the jamming. If this
is inside the machine, give it to an authorised technician.
• Before using an accessory, make sure that its maxi-
mum rotation speed is compatible with the machine’s
performance.
• As far as possible, always use protective equipment
such as gloves, goggles, safety shoes, etc. Off-cuts can
lead to injuries.
• Before cutting on a wall, floor or ceiling, make sure
there is no pipework behind it.
• Power tools must not be used by people under 16
years old.
• Only bring the machine in operation near to the piece
being worked on.
• Both above and below the cut path must be free of
obstacles.
• Do not put your fingers in the shavings ejection nozzle.
• Keep your hands away from the moving saw. Avoid
contact with the saw blade that protrudes from the
lower part of the unit.
• Do not use the machine above your head.
• Do not work with materials containing asbestos.
• Do not use blades with a base disk that is thicker or
with a kerf that is smaller than the thickness of the
dividing knife.
• The cutting guide must be readjusted when changing
circular saws with different diameters.
• When the machine is turned off, wait for the blade
to stop by itself. Never stop the blade by pressing on it
from the side or in the centre.
• Always use the dividing knife.
• Never force a machine that appears to have operating
difficulties or shows some sort of weakness. There may
