work benches.
The user is liable for damage and injury
resulting from incorrect usage!
2 Safety instructions
2.1 General safety rules
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fi re
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term „power tool“ in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
2.2 Tool-specifi c safety rules
1) Cutting procedures
a)
DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting
area and the blade. Keep your second
hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing.
If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot
be cut by 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 piece being cut in your hands or
across your leg. 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 power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces 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 cut
and reduces the chance of blade binding.
g) Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes.
Blades that do not match the mounting hard-
ware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing
loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade wash-
ers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt where
specially designed for your saw, for optimum
performance and safety of operation.
i) Wear suitable protection such as
ear protection, safety goggles, a
dust mask for work which gener-
ates dust, and protective gloves
when working with raw materials
and when changing tools.
2) Kickback causes and relates warnings
- kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an un-
controlled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece
toward the operator;
- when the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the
kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor
reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the
operator;
- if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in
