withstand the recoil forces. Always hold the
saw blade to one side. Never hold the saw
blade in a straight line with your body.

In the

event of a recoil the circular saw may leap
backwards, but the user can still overcome the
recoil forces if he has taken suitable precautions.

b) If the saw blade jams or the sawing operating

is interrupted for another reason, release the
ON/OFF switch and hold the saw steady in
the workpiece until the saw blade has
reached a complete standstill. Never attempt
to take the saw out of the workpiece or to pull
it backwards whilst the saw blade is moving
or there is a possibility of a recoil.

Find the

reason for the blade jamming and rectify it by
suitable means.

c) If you wish to restart a saw that is already in

the workpiece, center the saw blade in the
saw gap and check that the saw’s teeth are
not caught in the workpiece.

If the saw blade is

jammed it may move out of the workpiece or
cause a recoil when the saw is restarted.

d) Support large panels to reduce the risk of a

recoil by a jammed saw blade.

Large panels

may sag under their own weight. Panels must be
supported on both sides both near the saw gap
and also at the edge.

e) Do not use blunt or damaged saw blades.

Saw blades with blunt or incorrectly aligned teeth
will create increased friction due to the saw gap
being too small. In addition the saw blade may
also jam and cause recoil.

Secure the cutting depth and cutting angle
settings before starting to saw.

If the settings

change as you are sawing, the saw blade may
jam and cause recoil.

g) Be particularly careful when carrying out a

“plunge cut” in a concealed area such as an
existing wall.

The plunge-cutting saw blade may

block when sawing into concealed objects and
thus cause recoil.

Safety instructions for saws with a swing guard
hood
a) Check that the bottom safety hood closes

perfectly before using the appliance. Do not
use the saw if the bottom safety hood does
not move freely and does not close
immediately. Never clamp or tie the bottom
guard hood in open position.

If you drop the

saw by accident the bottom guard hood may
become bent. Open the safety hood with the lever
and ensure that it moves freely and will not come
into contact with the saw blade or other parts
regardless of the cutting angle and depth.

b) Check the function of the spring on the

bottom safety hood. Have the appliance
serviced before you use it if the bottom
safety hood and spring are not in perfect
working order.

Damaged parts, sticky deposits

or accumulations of chips will result in the bottom
guard hood working with a delay.

c) Open the bottom safety hood by hand only

for special cuts, such as “immersion and
angle cuts”. Open the bottom safety hood
using the lever and release the lever again as
soon as the saw blade has engaged in the
workpiece.

The bottom safety hood must

operate automatically for all other sawing work.

d) Do not place the saw on a workbench or on

the floor unless the bottom guard hood is
covering the blade.

An unprotected, moving

saw blade will cause the saw to move opposite to
the sawing direction and saw through anything in
its way. Remember that the saw takes a little time
to slow down and stop.

Additional safety instructions for all saws with
splitter
a) Choose the appropriate splitter for the saw

blade used.

The splitter must be thicker than the

basic blade thickness of the saw blade, but
thinner than the width of its teeth.

b) Adjust the splitter as described in this

operating manual.

Incorrect strength, position

and alignment could lead to inefficient recoil
prevention.

c) Always use the splitter except for plunge

cuts.

Re-attach the splitter after the plunge cut.

The splitter is disruptive when making plunge
cuts, and can lead to a recoil.
