Original instructions

We, being solely responsible, hereby declare that

these circular hand saws conform to the standards

and directives specified on page 3.

This machine is suitable for sawing wood, plastics,

metals and other similar materials.

The user bears sole responsibility for damage

caused by improper use.

Generally accepted accident prevention

regulations and the enclosed safety information

must be observed.

For your own protection and for the

protection of your electrical tool, pay

attention to all parts of the text that are

marked with this symbol!

WARNING – Reading the operating instruc-

tions will reduce the risk of injury.

WARNING Read all safety warnings and

instructions. Failure to follow all safety warn-

ings and instructions may result in electric shock,

fire and/or serious injury.

Keep all safety instructions and information for

future reference.

Pass on your electrical tool only together with these

documents.

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

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 minimize body exposure, blade binding,

or loss of control.

e) Hold power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces when performing an operation where

the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or

its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also

make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"

and shock the operator.

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 saw blade

plain washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt

were specially designed for your saw, for optimum

performance and safety of operation.

Causes and operator prevention of kickback:

- 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

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.

e) Do not use dull or damaged blades.

Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce

narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade

binding and kickback.
