1400HKS,1400DS-EN / 1106

Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade

washers or bolts. The saw blade washers and

bolts were designed especially for your saw to

ensure optimum performance and operational

safety.

Causes and prevention of kickback:

– Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,

bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an

uncontrolled saw to jerk up and out of the

workpiece towards the operator.

– If the blade is pinched or bound by the closing

kerf, it stalls, and the action of the motor

drives the tool back towards the operator.

– If the saw blade is twisted or misaligned in the

cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade

can catch in the surface of the workpiece,

causing the blade to spring out of the kerf and

back towards the operator.

Kickback is the result of misuse of the saw or

incorrect operating procedures and conditions.

It can be avoided by taking appropriate precau-

tions as described below.

 Grip the saw tightly with both hands and

position your arms to resist kickback

forces. Always position your body to one

side of the blade, never in line with the

blade. If kickback occurs, the saw may jump

backwards, but kickback forces can be con-

trolled by the operator if the appropriate pre-

cautions are taken.

 If the saw blade sticks or you interrupt

work, switch the saw off and hold it

motionless in the workpiece until the saw

blade has come to a standstill. Never try to

remove the saw from the workpiece or pull

it back while the blade is in motion, as this

may trigger kickback. Investigate and take

corrective action to eliminate the cause of the

saw blade sticking.

 To restart a saw which is in the workpiece,

centre the saw blade in the kerf and check

that the saw teeth are not engaged in the

material. If the saw blade is sticking, it may

move out of the workpiece or cause kickback

when the saw is restarted.

 Support large panels to reduce the risk of

kickback due to a stuck saw blade. Large

panels may sag under their own weight. Sup-

ports must be placed under the panel on both

sides, near the kerf and near the edge of the

panel.

 Never use blunt or damaged saw blades.

Saw blades with blunt or misaligned teeth

produce a narrow kerf which causes excess

friction, sticking of the blade and kickback.

 Tighten the blade depth and bevel locking

levers before making a cut. If the settings

change during operation, the saw blade may

stick and cause kickback.

 Be particularly careful when performing

"plunge cuts" into existing walls or other

blind areas. The protruding blade may become

stuck in hidden objects and cause kickback.

 Before using the saw, always check that

the lower protective cover closes properly.

Do not use the saw if the lower protective

cover does not move freely and close

instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower pro-

tective cover open. If the saw is accidentally

dropped, the lower protective cover may be

bent. Open the protective cover with the

retracting handle and make sure that it moves

freely and does not touch the saw blade or

other parts in any angles or depths of cut.

 Check the operation of the spring for the

lower protective cover. If the lower protec-

tive cover and the spring do not work

properly, have the saw serviced before

using it. Damaged parts, sticky residue or an

accumulation of debris may cause the lower

protective cover to work sluggishly.

 Only open the lower protective cover by

hand for special cuts such as "plunge cuts

and angled cuts." Open the lower protec-

tive cover using the retracting handle and

release the handle as soon as the saw

blade enters the workpiece. For all other

cuts, the lower protective cover must function

automatically.

 Make sure that the lower protective cover

is covering the saw blade before putting

the saw down on the workbench or the

floor. An unprotected, coasting saw blade

will cause the saw to walk backwards, sawing

whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it

takes for the blade to stop after the switch is

released.
