Before First Use; Intended Use; Plunge Saw Features - Batavia BT-PS002 Bedienungsanleitung

edge of the saw blade can get stuck in the
surface of the workpiece, whereby the saw
blade is moved out of the saw gap and the
saw jumps back in the direction of the
operator.
A kickback is the result of incorrect or faulty
use of the saw. It can be prevented by
appropriate precautions as described below.
• Hold the saw firmly with both hands and
bring your arms into a position in which you
can resist the kickback forces. Always hold
the saw baldes on the sides, never bring
the blade in line with your body. In a
kickback, the saw can jump backwards, but
the operator can control the kickback forces
if appropriate measures were taken.
• If the saw blade jams or sawing is
interrupted for any reason, release the ON /
OFF switch and calmly hold the saw in the
material until the saw blade stands
completely still. Never attempt to remove
the saw from the workpiece or pull it
backwards as long as the saw blade is
moving or a kickback might occur. Find the
cause of the saw blade jam and eliminate
them through appropriate measures.
• When you want to restart a saw that is
stuck in a workpiece, center the saw blade
in the saw gap and check that the saw
teeth are not stuck in the workpiece. If the
saw blade jams, it can move out from the
workpiece or a kickback can happen if the
saw is restarted.
• Prop up large panels in order to minimise
the risk of a kickback by a jammed saw
blade. Large panels tend to sag under their
own weight. Panels must be supported on
both sides, both in the vicinity of the saw
gap as well as on the edge.
• Do not use dull or damaged saw blades.
Saw blades with blunt or misaligned teeth
cause increased friction, jamming of the
saw blade and kickback by an excessively
narrow saw gap.

• Tighten the cutting depth position prior to
cutting. If the settings change while cutting,
the saw blade can jam and a kickback can
occur.
• Be especially careful if you perform a
"circular cut" in a hidden area, such as an
existing wall. The protruding saw blade can
get blocked in hidden objects while cutting
and cause a kickback.
• Do not place the saw on the workbench or
the floor unless the saw blade is at a
standstill. An unprotected, running saw
blade moves the saw against the cutting
direction and cuts whatever is in its way.
Thus note the delay time of the saw.
• For this reason, the saw is not suitable for
use in reverse position as fixed equipment.
• Do not operate the saw if it is not working
properly or has been damaged. In case of
technical problems, do not attempt to repair
it on your own. Contact the service or have
the saw repaired by a professional.
