with the blade. Kickback could cause the

saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces

can be controlled by the operator, if proper

precautions are taken.

b) When blade is binding, or when

interrupting a cut for any reason, release

the trigger and hold the saw motionless

in the material until the blade comes to a

complete stop. Never attempt to remove

the saw from the work or pull the saw

backward while the blade is in motion or

kickback may occur. Investigate and take

corrective actions to eliminate the cause of

blade binding.

c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece,

centre the saw blade in the kerf and

check that saw teeth are not engaged into

the material. If saw blade is binding, it may

walk up or kickback from the workpiece as

the saw is restarted.

d) 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 panel on

both sides, near the line of cut and near the

edge of the panel.

e) Do not use dull or damaged blades.

Unsharpened or improperly set blades

produce narrow kerf causing excessive

friction, blade binding and kickback.

f) 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.

g) Use extra caution when making a “plunge

cut” into existing walls or other blind

areas. The protruding blade may cut objects

that can cause kickback.

Safety Instructions for

Plunge-Type Saws

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 with the blade 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 operating properly, they

must be serviced before use. Guard may

operate sluggishly due to damaged parts,

gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.

c) Assure that the guide plate of the saw will

not shift while performing the “plunge cut”

when the blade bevel setting is not at 90°.

Blade shifting sideways will cause binding

and likely kickback.

d) Always observe that the 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 Instructions For All

Saws With Riving Knife

a) Use the appropriate riving knife for the

blade being used. For the riving knife to

work, it must be thicker than the body of the

blade but thinner than the tooth set of the

blade.

b) Adjust the riving knife as described in

this instruction manual. Incorrect spacing,

positioning and alignment can make the riving

knife ineffective in preventing kickback.

c) For the riving knife to work, it must be

engaged in the workpiece. The riving knife

is ineffective in preventing kickback during

short cuts.

d) Do not operate the saw if riving knife is

bent. Even a light interference can slow the

closing rate of a guard.

Additional Safety Instructions For

Plunge-Type Saws

• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can

cause hearing loss.

• Wear a dust mask. Exposure to dust

particles can cause breathing difficulty and

possible injury.

• Do not use blades of larger or smaller

diameter than recommended. For the

proper blade rating refer to the technical

data. Use only the blades specified in this

manual, complying with EN 847-1.

• Never use abrasive cut-off wheels.

Residual Risks

• In spite of the application of the relevant

safety regulations and the implementation of

safety devices, certain residual risks cannot be

avoided.

These are:

– Impairment of hearing.

– Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered

parts of the rotating cutting disc.
