– If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut,

the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top

surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the

kerf and jump back toward the operator.

Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect oper-

ating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by tak-

ing proper precautions as given below.

 Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and po-

sition your arms to resist kickback forces. Position

your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with

the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump back-

wards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the opera-

tor, if proper precautions are taken.

 When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for

any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw mo-

tionless in the material until the blade comes to a com-

plete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the

work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in mo-

tion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take correc-

tive actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.

 When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw

blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not en-

gaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it may

walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is re-

started.

 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 pan-

el on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of

the panel.

 Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or im-

properly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive

friction, blade binding and kickback.

 Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be

tight and secure before making cut. If blade adjustment

shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.

 Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or

other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects

that can cause kickback.

Lower guard function

 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.

 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.

 The lower guard may be retracted manually only for

special cuts such as “plunge cuts and angle cuts”. Raise

the lower guard by retracting the handle and as soon as

the blade enters the material, release the lower guard.

For all other sawing operations, the lower guard should op-

erate automatically.

 Always observe that the lower guard is covering the

blade before placing saw down on bench or floor. An un-

protected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk back-

wards, 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

 Do not reach into the chip ejector with your hands. They

could be injured by rotating parts.

 Do not work overhead with the saw. In this manner you

do not have sufficient control over the power tool.

 Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are

hidden in the work area or call the local utility company

for assistance.

Contact with electric lines can lead to fire

and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo-

sion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or

may cause an electric shock.

 Do not operate the power tool stationary. It is not de-

signed for operation with a saw table.

 Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw blades. Such saw

blades can easily break.

 Do not saw ferrous metals. Red hot chips can ignite the

dust extraction.

 When working with the machine, always hold it firmly

with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The

power tool is guided more secure with both hands.

 Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-

ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.

 Always wait until the machine has come to a complete

stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and

lead to loss of control over the power tool.

Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a

BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA

approved to BS 1362).

If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be

cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an author-

ised customer service agent. The replacement plug should

have the same fuse rating as the original plug.

The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible

shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains sock-

et elsewhere.

Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current de-

vice (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
