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.
Ŷ 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.
Ŷ 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.
Ŷ Always observe that the lower guard is covering the
blade before placing saw down on bench or floor.
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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
Ŷ The dust produced when using the product may be
harmful to your health, inflammable, or explosive. Do
not inhale the dust. Use a dust extraction system,
and wear a suitable dust protection mask. Remove
deposited dust thoroughly, e.g., with a brush and
vacuum cleaner.
Ŷ Do not use any abrasive wheels.
Ŷ Use only blades specified in this manual, complying
with EN 847-1.
Ŷ Avoid overheating the blade tips. Do not use dull or
damaged blades. Do not force the tool.
Ŷ Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than
recommended.
Ŷ Wear ear protection.
Ŷ Clamp workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped
workpieces can cause severe injury and damage.
Ŷ Thoroughly check the material to be cut, particularly
when using recycled wood, for foreign objects such as
nails, screws, and staples. If nails, screws, staples or
similar items contact the blade whilst cutting, the saw
will be damaged and severe injury to the operator or
others may occur.
Ŷ Do not touch the saw blade immediately after sawing.
The saw blade gets hot during sawing.
