3) GUARD FUNCTION
a) Check guard for proper closing before each use. Do
not operate the saw if guard does not move freely
and enclose the blade instantly. Never clamp or
tie the guard so that the blade is exposed. If saw is
accidentally dropped, guard may be bent. Check to make
sure that guard moves freely and does not touch the
blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation and condition of the guard
return spring. If the guard and the spring are not
use. Guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged
parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c) Assure that the base plate of the saw will not shift
while performing the “plunge cut” when the blade
Blade shifting sideways will
cause binding and likely kickback.
d) Always observe that the guard is covering the
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.

• Never use the tool for side grinding
• Never use the tool when the cord is damaged; it must be
replaced by a specially prepared cord available through
the service organization.
• Do not operate the power tool stationary (it is not
designed for operation with a saw table)
• Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos
is considered carcinogenic)
• Do not saw ferrous metals (red hot chips can ignite the
dust extraction)
•
vacuum cleaner must be approved for the extraction
of stone dust (using this equipment reduces dust-
related hazards)
• Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some
wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful
(contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic
reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or
bystanders); wear a dust mask and work with a dust
extraction device when connectable
• Certain kinds of dust are classied as carcinogenic
(such as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunction
with additives for wood conditioning; wear a dust
mask and work with a dust extraction device when
connectable
• Follow the dust-related national requirements for the
materials you want to work with
