f) Adjust the riving knife as described
in the operating instructions. Incor-
rect width, position and alignment can be
the cause that the riving knife does not
effectively prevent kickback.
g) Always use the riving knife, except
when performing plunge cuts. After the
plunge cut, mount the riving knife again.
The riving knife interferes when performing
plunge cuts and can lead to kickback.
h) In order for the riving knife to be ef-
fective, it must be located in the cut.
For short cuts, the riving knife is ineffec-
tive for the prevention of kickback.
i) Do not operate the saw with a bent
riving knife. Even a minor malfunction
can lead to sluggish retraction of the re-
tracting blade guard.

7.1 Electronic Motor Control
Starting current limiting
The electronically controlled smooth start
takes care that the machine starts without
jerk. As a result of the machine's reduced
starting current, a 16 A fuse is suffi cient.
No-load speed reduction
The electronic control reduces the no-load
speed of the machine which results in re-
duced noise and wear of motor and gear.
