5.6 Service
▪ Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare
parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.
6 MACHINE-SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
▪ Keep hands away from cutting area and blade .Keep your second hand on auxiliary
handle or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the
Original instructions blade.
▪ Only use the power tool for dry sanding. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
▪ Keep hands away from the sawing area. Do not reach under the workpiece. Contact
with the saw blade can lead to injuries.
▪ When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy
of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
▪ When changing the application tool, wear protective gloves. Application tools can
become hot when used for prolonged periods of time.
▪ Do not scrape any dampened materials(e.g. Wallpaper)or on damp surfaces. Water
entering a power tool increases the risk of electric shock.
▪ Take particular care when handling scrapers and blades. The application tools are very
sharp. Danger of injury.
▪ Use suitable detectors to determine if there are hidden supply lines or contact the local
utility company for assistance. Contact with electric cables can cause fire and electric
shock. Damaging gas lines can lead to explosion. Breaking water pipes causes property
damage.
▪ Do not treat the surface you will be working on with any fluids that contain solvents.
Poisonous vapors may develop due to the materials heating up when being scraped.
6.1 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 work-piece 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.
Note: 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.
▪ 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.
▪ 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 back- ward while the blade is
in motion or kickback may occur.
▪ When restarting a saw in the work-piece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and check that
saw teeth are not engaged into the material.
▪ Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback.
▪ Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce
narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
▪ Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making
