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 result of saw misuse and/or incor-

rect operating procedures or conditions and can

be avoided by taking proper precautions as given

below.

a) Maintain a ﬁ rm grip with both hands on the

saw and position 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 backwards, but

kickback forces can be controlled by the opera-

tor, 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, cen-

tre 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. Unsharp-

ened or improperly set blades produces narrow

kerf causing expressive 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.

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 operation 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 base 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

kick back.

d) Always observe that the guard is covering the

blade before placing saw down on bench or

ﬂ oor. 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.

2.3 Noise and vibration information

The typical values determined in accordance with

EN 60745 are:

Sound-pressure level 86 dB(A)

Sound-pressure level 97 dB(A)

Measuring uncertainty allowance K = 3 dB

Wear ear protection!

Overall vibration levels (vector sum for three direc-

tions) measured in accordance with EN 60745:

Sawing wood: Vibration emission level

(3-axis) a

= 4.0 m/s

Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²

The emission values speciﬁ ed (vibration, noise)

were measured in accordance with the test con-

ditions stipulated in EN 60745 and are intended

for machine comparisons. They are also used for

making preliminary estimates regarding vibration

and noise loads during operation.

The emission values speciﬁ ed refer to the main

applications for which the power tool is used. If

the electric power tool is used for other applica-

tions, with other tools or is not maintained suf-

ﬁ ciently prior to operation, however, the vibration

and noise load may be higher when the tool is

used. Take into account any machine idling times

and downtimes to estimate these values more

accurately for a speciﬁ ed time period. This may

signiﬁ cantly reduce the load during the machine

operating period.
