b) If the sawblade becomes hooked or trapped in
a narrowing saw gap, it is suddenly prevented
from rotating and the force of the motor throws
the device back in the direction of the operator.
c) If the sawblade distorts or becomes misaligned
in the saw cut, the teeth at the rear edge of the
sawblade may hook themselves into the work-
piece surface causing the sawblade to move
out of the saw gap and the circular saw to jump
backwards in the direction of the operator.
Special safety advice for circular saws
and automatic blade guards
a) Before you use the saw, always check
that the automatic blade guard
es properly. Do not use the saw if the
bottom compartment of the blade guard
does not move freely or close immedi-
ately. Never jam or tie the automatic
blade guard in the open position. The
bottom part of automatic blade guard may be-
come bent if the saw falls on to the floor. Open
the blade guard with the release lever and make
sure that it moves freely and does not touch the
saw blade or other parts at all cutting angles
and depths.
b) Check that the spring on the automatic
blade guard functions properly. If the
automatic blade guard or spring does
not function properly, have the device
serviced before you use it. Damaged parts,
sticky deposits or accumulations of splinters can
delay the operation of the bottom blade guard.
c) open the automatic blade guard by
hand only for certain cuts such as plunge
or angle cuts. open the automatic blade
guard with the release lever
let it go again as soon as the saw blade
penetrates the workpiece. The automatic
blade guard must be allowed to operate auto-
matically for all saw cuts.
d) Do not put the saw down on a work
bench or the floor without the auto-
matic blade guard covering the saw
blade. If unprotected, a rotating saw blade
moves the saw against the cutting direction and
saws whatever is in its way. Always be aware
that the saw blade takes some time to stop.
General safety advice for electrical power tools
Special safety advice for circular saws
and riving knives
a) Use the riving knife matched to the in-
stalled saw blade. The riving knife must be
thicker than the body of the blade but thinner
than the width of the teeth.
b) adjust the riving knife as described in
the operating instructions. If its thickness,
position or alignment is incorrect, this can lead
to the riving knife not effectively preventing
kickback.
c) always use the riving knife, except
for plunge cuts. After completing plunge
cutting, put the riving knife back in place. The
clos- riving knife interferes with plunge cuts and can
7
result in kickback.
d) For the riving knife to work properly,
it must be within the saw gap. The riv-
ing knife is ineffective in preventing kickback
for short cuts.
e) Do not operate the saw if the riving
knife is bent out-of-true. Even a slight defect
can cause the blade guard to close too slowly.
