Never hold the workpiece with your hand or between your legs. Secure the workpiece
to a solid base.
It is important to properly secure the workpiece to minimize slipping, jamming
of the saw blade, or loss of control.
Only hold the saw by insulated gripping surfaces when performing work in which the
cutting tool can cut into hidden cables or its own cable.
Contact with a live wire will also
cause exposed metal parts of the power tool to be live and electrocute whoever is sawing.
Always use a parallel or a straight edge guide when sawing.
This improves the cutting ac-
curacy and reduces the possibility of the saw blade getting stuck.
Always use saw blades with the correct size and shape (diamond or round) for the
mounting hole.
Saw blades not fitting the assembly device of the saw run out of round and
lead to loss of control.
Never use damaged or unsuitable washers or screws for the saw blades.
The washers
and screws have been specially designed for this saw in order to achieve optimal and safe
work results.
Kickbacks and warnings
Kickbacks are caused by a jammed, stuck, or misaligned saw blade, causing the saw to de-
tach from the workpiece and move in the direction of whoever is cutting.
◦
If the saw blade is jammed or stuck because of the kerf closing, the motor movement will
force the device quickly backwards and in the direction of the operator.
◦
If the saw blade twists or loses its alignment in the kerf, the teeth on the rear edge can dig
into the top of the wood, causing the saw blade to jump out of the kerf and towards the op -
erator.
Incorrect use or the work conditions cause kickbacks, which can be avoided by taking the fol-
lowing precautionary measures:
◦
Firmly hold the saw with both hands, and hold your arms so that they can absorb a pos-
sible kickback. Position yourself so that you are on both sides of the saw blade, but not in
line with it. Kickback could cause the saw to jump back.
◦
If the saw blade is stuck or if a cut is interrupted for any reason, release the trigger and
hold the saw motionless in the material until the saw blade has come to a complete stand -
still. Never try to remove the saw from the workpiece or to pull the saw backwards while
the saw blade is moving, otherwise kickbacks may occur.
◦
If you restart a saw in the workpiece, align the saw blade in the middle of the kerf and
make sure that the saw teeth do not reach into the material. If the saw blade is stuck, it
can be pushed up or backwards by the workpiece when the saw is restarted.
◦
Support large panels to minimize the risk of the saw blade getting jammed or the device
kicking back. Large panels tend to flex under their own weight. The supports must be
placed under the plate on both sides. One support is placed near the cutting line and the
other near the panel edge.
◦
Do not use worn or damaged saw blades. Blunt or incorrectly adjusted saw blades create
a narrow kerf, which leads to excessive friction, to the saw blade becoming jammed or to
the device kicking back.
◦
The locking levers for adjusting the depth and angle of the blades must be tightened and
secured before you start sawing. If the blade setting shifts while cutting, the saw blade
may become jammed or the device may kick back.
◦
Take special care when cutting into existing walls and/or blind spots. The protruding saw
blade could hit objects that are not visible to you and that could cause the device to kick
back.
Protective devices
Before each use, check whether the protective device is properly closed. Do not operate the
saw if the guard does not move freely and does not immediately cover the blade. Never clamp
the guard in such a way that the saw blade is exposed. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the
guard may be bent. Make sure that the guard can move freely and cannot touch the saw blade
or any other part at any cutting angle and/or depth.
Check the function and condition of the return spring of the protective device. If the guard and
spring are not working properly, they must be serviced before use. The protective device could
