Use and treatment of the power tool

Do not overtax the tool. Use the appropriate tool for the work that is to be done. With the correct
power tool, you can work better and more safely.

Do not use a power tool where the switch is defective. A power tool that cannot be turned on and
off is dangerous and must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet before you make adjustments to the tool, change parts or
put the tool away. This precaution prevents inadvertent startups of the tool.

Store power tools that are not in use out of reach of children. Do not let anyone use the tool who
does not have experience with it, or who has not read these instructions.

Power tools can be dangerous when they are used by inexperienced people.

Take good care of your power tools. Make sure that movable parts function properly and do not
jam, see that parts which influence the use of the machine are not broken or damaged. Repair
damaged parts before operating the tool. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.

Keep cutting edges sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
jam less often and are easier to control.

Use power tools, accessories, and equipment according to these instructions. Taking into account
the working conditions and the work being performed.

The use of power tools other than those intended for the tool itself can lead to dangerous
situations.
Service
Only let qualified service personnel repair your tool and always use original replacement parts. This
guarantees that the power tool remains safe to use.
Safety instructions for all saws

DANGER: Do not put your hands in the sawing area or on the saw blade. Keep your second hand
on the extra handle of the motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, neither can be injured
by the saw blade.

Do not put your hands under the work piece. The protective cap cannot protect your hands from
the blade when they are under the work piece.

Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the work piece. Less than one complete sawing tooth
should be visible under the work piece.

Never hold the work piece that is to be sawn in your hand or over your leg. Make sure that the work
piece has a stable balance. It is important that the work piece is held securely, in order to minimize
the danger of contact of a body part with the saw, loss of control over the saw, or jamming of the
blade.

Hold the equipment on the insulated handles, when you undertake work in which the tool being
used could come into contact with hidden electrical wires, or its own cable. Contact with a live
power source can electrify the metal parts of the tool and lead to an electrical shock.

When making a long cut, always use a stop chock or a straightedge. This improves the accuracy of
the cut and reduces the chance that the saw blade jams.

Always use the correct size of saw blades and make sure they have the right locating bore (e.g.
Star shaped or round). Saw blades that do not fit the assembly of the saw do not run correctly and
cause loss of control.

Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade shims or screws. The saw blade shims and screws are
designed especially for your saw, for optimal performance and operating safety.
Additional safety instructions for all saws
Causes and prevention of kickbacks:

A kickback is a sudden reaction due to a caught, jammed or incorrectly adjusted saw blade, which
leads to the saw rearing up in an uncontrolled manner and moving out of the work piece towards
the operator.

If a saw blade catches or jams in the sawing edge that closes behind it, it is blocked and motor’s
drive pushes the saw back in the direction of the operator.

If the saw blade twists in the saw groove or is incorrectly positioned, the teeth at the rear side of the
saw blade edge catch in the surface of the work piece. The saw then moves out of the saw groove
and springs back in the direction of the operator.

A kickback results from an incorrect or faulty use of the saw. It can be prevented, as will be
described in the following, by appropriate cautionary measures.
