Original instructions
We declare under our sole responsibility: These
cordless circular saws, identified by type and serial
number *1), comply with all relevant requirements of
the directives *2) and standards *3). Technical file
at *4) - see page 3.
This machine is suitable for sawing wood, plastics
and other similar materials.
The machine is not designed for plunge cuts.
The user bears sole responsibility for damage
caused by improper use.
Generally accepted accident prevention
regulations and the enclosed safety information
must be observed.
WARNING
– Reading the operating
instructions will reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING Read all safety warnings and
instructions.
Failure to follow all safety warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Keep all safety instructions and information for
future reference.
Before using the power tool, carefully read through and
familiarise yourself with all the enclosed safety
information and the Operating Instructions. Keep all
enclosed documentation for future reference, and pass
on your power tool only together with this
documentation.
For your own protection and for the
protection of your power tool pay attention to
all parts of the text that are marked with this
symbol!
Cutting procedure
a)
DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting
area and the blade. Keep your second hand
on auxiliary handle, or motor housing.
If both hands
are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
b)
Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The
safety guard cannot protect you from the blade below
the workpiece.
c)
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece.
Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth
should be visible below the workpiece.
d)
Never hold piece being cut in your hands or
across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable
platform.
It is important to support the work properly to
minimise body exposure, blade binding, or loss of
control.
e)
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
f)
When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight
edge guide.
This improves the accuracy of cut and
reduces the chance of blade binding.
g)
Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes.
Blades
that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will
run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
h)
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers
or bolt.
The blade washers and bolt were specially
designed for your saw, for optimum performance and
safety of operation.
Kickback causes and related warnings
- kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound
or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled
saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the
operator;
- when the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the
kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor
reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the
operator;
- 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
operating procedures or conditions and and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
a)
Maintain a firm 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 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 the 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.
