precautions are taken.
b) If the blades are binding, or when interrupting
a cut for any reason, release the trigger and
hold the saw motionless in the material until
the blades come to a complete stop. Never
attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull
the saw backward while the blades are in motion or
kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective
actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece,
centre the saw blade in the kerf and check that
saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If
saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback
from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
d) Support large panels to minimise the risk of
blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend
to sag under their own weight. Supports must be
placed under the panel on both sides, near the line
of cut and near the edge of the panel.
e) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking
levers must be tight and secure before making
a cut. If the blade adjustment shifts while cutting it
may cause binding and kickback.
f) Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce
a narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade
binding and kickback.
g) Use extra caution when making a “plunge
cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding blade may cut objects that can cause
kickback.
h) Check lower guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard
does not move freely and close instantly. Never
clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position.
If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may
be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting
handle and make sure it moves freely and does not
touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and
depths of cut.
i) Check the operation of the lower guard spring.
If the guard and the spring are not operating
properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower
guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged
parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
j) Lower guard may be retracted manually only
for special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and
“compound cuts.” Raise lower guard by retracting
handle and as soon as blade enters the material, the
lower guard must be released. For all other sawing,
the lower guard should operate automatically.
k) Always observe that the lower guard is
covering the blade before placing saw down
on a bench or the oor. An unprotected, coasting
blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting
whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes
for the blade to stop after switch is released.
HEALTH ADVICE
WARNING: When drilling, sanding, sawing or
grinding, dust particles will be produced. In some
instances, depending on the materials you are
working with, this dust can be particularly harmful
to you (e.g. lead from old gloss paint).You are
advised to consider the risks associated with the
materials you are working with and to reduce the
risk of exposure.
You should:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such as
dust masks that are specially designed to lter
microscopic particles.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
a) DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area
and the blade. Keep your second hand on the
auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands
are holding the saw, they cannot come into contact
with the blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The
guard cannot protect you from the blade below the
workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of
the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade
teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
d) Never hold the piece being cut in your hands
or across your legs. Secure the workpiece to a
stable platform. It is important to support the work
properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding,
or loss of control.
e) Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
shock the operator.
f) When ripping always use a rip fence or straight
edge guide. This improves the accuracy of the cut
and reduces the chance of the blade binding.
g) Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbor holes. Blades
that do not match the mounting hardware of
the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of
control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade
washers or bolt. The blade washers, anges
and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for
optimum performance and safety of operation.
Replace with genuine spare parts if damaged or
worn.
i) Do not use High Speed Steel (HSS) saw blades
k) Inspect the machine and the blade before
each use. Do not use deformed, cracked, worn
or otherwise damaged blades.
l) Never use the saw without the original guard
protection system. Do not lock the moving guard
in the open position. Ensure that the guard operates
freely without jamming.
m) Only use blades that comply with the
characteristics specied in this manual. Before
using accessories, always compare the maximum
allowed RPM of the accessory with the RPM of the
machine.

The declared vibration total value has been
measured in accordance with a standard test
method and may be used for comparing one tool
with another.
The declared vibration total value may also be used
in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING: The vibration emission during actual use of
the power tool can differ from the declared total value
depending on the ways in which the tool is used. The
need to identify safety measures and to protect the
operator are based on an estimation of exposure in the
actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the
operating cycle, such as the times the tool is switched
off, when it is running idle, in addition to trigger time).
