Guard function

 Check guard for proper closing before each use. Do not

operate the saw if guard does not move freely and en-

close 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.

 Check the operation and condition of the guard return

spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating

properly, they must be serviced before use. Guard may

operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy depos-

its, or a build-up of debris.

 Assure that the base plate of the saw will not shift while

performing the “plunge cut” when the blade bevel set-

ting is not at 90°. Blade shifting sideways will cause bind-

ing and likely kick back.

 Always observe that the guard is covering the blade be-

fore placing saw down on bench or floor. An unprotect-

ed, 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

 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.
