b) Check the condition and function of the spring for the
protective covering. Have the saw repaired before use if
the protective covering and spring do not work perfectly.
Damaged parts, sticky residuals or piles of saw dust can
interfere with the working of the lower protective cover.
c) When making an "inserted cut" that does not describe
a right angle, make sure that the saw is guarded against
slipping to the side. Slippage can lead to a saw blade
jam and a kickback.
d) Do not put the saw on the workbench or the floor wi-
thout making sure that the protective cover is over the
saw blade. An unprotected, running saw blade can move
the saw against the cutting direction and saw what is in
the way. Check the delay time of the saw.
mAdditional safety instructions for all
sawing with a wedge
a) Use the right wedge for the saw blade that is in use.
The wedge must be thicker than the thickness of the
steel blade but thinner than the width of the teeth.
b) Adjust the wedge as described in the operating inst-
ructions. Incorrect thickness, position or direction can
be the reason that the wedge does not effectively pre-
vent a kickback.
c) Always use a wedge, except when making an inserted
cut. Reassemble the wedge after an inserted cut. The
wedge is in the way when making an inserted cut and
can cause a kickback.
d) In order for the wedge to be effective, it must be in
the sawing gap. For short cuts, a wedge does not work
to prevent kickbacks.
e) Never run the saw with a bent wedge. Even the smal-
lest defect can slow down the closing of the protective
cover.
InSTRuCTIonS FoR ALL SAWS
• Do not use a sanding belt.
• Make sure that the wedge is adjusted so that the di-
stance to the sprocket ring of the saw blade is not
more than 5 mm and that the sprocket ring does not
stick out more than 5 mm above the lower edge of
the wedge.
• Make sure that the dust catching mechanism is cor-
rectly installed, as is described in this manual.
• Wear breathing protection.
• Only those saw blades recommended in the manual
should be used.
• Always wear ear protection.
• Replace the saw blades as described in this manual.
• The maximum cut depth is 55 mm.
If the electrical cable of this tool is damaged it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or the customer service
department or a similarly qualified specialist in order to
avoid dangers.

CIRCuLAR SAWS
a) Only use the recommended saw blades which corre-
spond to EN 847-1.
b) Do not use sanding belts.
c) Only use the manufacturer's original saw blades with
the number Ø 160 mm, 5500/min, 160 x 20 x 2.0.
Do not use any saw blades which do not correspond to
the characteristics described in these operating instruc-
tions. Saw blades may not be brought to a stop by pres-
sure on the machine from the side.
Make sure that the saw blade is tightly assembled and
turns in the correct direction.
m Special Safety Instructions
Safety instructions for circular saws
- Hold the equipment on the insulated handles, when
you undertake work in which the tool being used could
come into contact with hidden electrical wires, or its own
cable. Contact with a live power source can electrify the
metal parts of the tool and lead to an electrical shock.
m Proper use
Ce tested machines meet all valid eC machine guidelines as
well as all relevent guidelines for each machine.
• The machine must only be used in technically perfect
con dition in accordance with its designated use and
the in structions set out in the operating manual, and
only by safety-conscious persons who are fully aware of
the risks involved in oerating the machine. Any func-
tional dis orders, especially those affecting the safety of
the machine, sholud terefore be rectified immediately.
• Any other use exceeds authorization. The manufacturer
is not responsible for any damages resulting from un-
authorized use; risk is the sole responsibility of the
operator.
• The safety, work and maintenance instructions of the
manufacturer as well as the technical data given in
the calibrations and dimensions must be adhered to.
• Relevant accident prevention regulations and other,
gene rally recognized safety-technical rules must also
be adhered to.
• The machine may only be used, maintained, and op-
erated by persons familiar with it and instructed in its
operation and procedures. Arbitrary alterations to the
machine release the manufacturer from all responsi-
bility for any resulting damages.
• The machine may only be used with original accesso-
ries and tools made by the manufacturer.
• The machine may not be operated with sanding belts.
m Remaining hazards
The machine has been built using modern technology in
accor dance with recognized safety rules. Some remaining
hazards, how ever, may still exist.
• The use of incorrect or damaged mains cables can lead
to injuries caused by electricity.
