Supports must be placed under the
panel on both sides, near the line of
cut and near the edge of the panel.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Blades with blunt or incorrectly
oriented teeth will, as a result of a
sawn gap that is too narrow, cause
increased friction and jamming of the
blade as well as kickback.
f) Tighten all the cutting depth and
angle settings before sawing. If the
settings change during the sawing
process, this may lead to the blade
jamming and can cause kickback.
g) Be very careful when sawing in
existing walls or in other areas that
are difficult to see. The plunging
blade may become blocked by
hidden objects and cause kickback.
Function of the lower protective cover
a) Check before each use that the
lower protective cover closes
without problems. Do not use the
saw if the lower protective cover
does not move freely and does not
close immediately. Never clamp or
fix the lower protective cover in an
open position. If the saw should
accidentally fall to the ground, the
lower protective cover may be
deformed. Open the protective cover
with the pullback lever and ensure
that it moves freely and that it does
not touch either the blade nor other
parts at all cutting angles and depths.
b) Check the functionality of the
springs on the lower protective
cover. If the guard and the spring
are not operating properly, they
must be serviced before use. The
protective cover may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts,
sticky deposits or a build-up of
debris.
c) Open the lower protective cover by
hand only when carrying out
special cuts such as "plunge" and
"angled" cuts. Open the lower
protective cover with the pullback
lever and release the lever as soon
as the blade has penetrated the
work piece. For every other type of
sawing, the lower protective cover
should function automatically.
d) Never put the saw down on the
workbench or on the floor without
ensuring that the lower protective
cover is protecting the blade. An
unprotected, switched off but still
moving blade will move the saw in the
direction opposite to the cutting
direction and will cut everything in its
path. Be aware of the time it takes for
the blade to stop after the switch is
released
Additional notes
a) Do not use grinding discs!
b) Only use saw blades with diameters
in accordance with the labelling on
the saw.
c) Observe the instructions for correct
use of the dust extraction system.
d) Always wear a dust protection mask.
e) Only use the recommended saw blades.
f) Always wear ear defenders.
g) Always check the functionality of the
protective cover before use.
• Saw blades made of high-speed steel
may not be used.
