1. Safety Warnings

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.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot
l
protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less
l
than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the
workpiece.
Never hold the workpiece being cut in your hands or across your
l
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.
Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping surfaces when
l
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
l
improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade
binding.
Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus
l
round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of
control.
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The
l
blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw,
for optimum performance and safety of operation.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
l
– Kickback is a sudden reaction to apinched, 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 tightl yby 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 misaligne din 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.
Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your
l
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.
When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason,
l
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.
When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in
l
the kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the
material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from
the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching and
l
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.
Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly
l
set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction,
blade binding and kickback.
Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and
l
secure before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while
cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
Use extra caution when making a "plunge cut" into existing walls
l
or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that
can cause kickback.
Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not
l
operate the saw if lower guard does not move freely and close
instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open
position. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may be
ENGLISH
10
bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make
sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other
part, in all angles and depths of cut.
Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and
l
the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced
before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to
damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts
l
such as "plunge cuts" and "compound cuts". Raise lower guard
by retracting handle and as soon as blade enters the material,
the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the
lower guard should operate automatically.
Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before
l
placing saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting
blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is
in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after
switch is released.
Do not reach into the saw dust ejector with your hands. They
l
could be injured by rotating parts.
Do not work overhead with the saw. In this manner you do not
l
have sufficient control over the power tool.
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in
l
the work area or call the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock.
Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water
line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.
Do not operate the power tool stationary. It is not designed for
l
operation with a saw table.
Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw blades. Such saw blades
l
can easily break.
When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both
l
hands and provide for a secure stance. The power tool is guided
more secure with both hands.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping
l
devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
Do not work materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is
l
considered carcinogenic.
Take protective measures when dust can develop during
l
working that is harmful to one's health, combustible or
explosive. Example: Some dusts are regarded as carcinogenic.
Wear a dust mask and work with dust/chip extraction when
connectable.
Always wait until the machine has come to a complete stop
l
before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and lead to loss
of control over the power tool.
Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not touch the
l
damaged cable and pull the mains plug when the cable is
damaged while working. Damaged cables increase the risk of
an electric shock.

2. Functional Description

Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
While reading the operating instructions, unfold the
graphics page for the machine and leave it open.

Intended Use

The machine is intended for lengthways and crossways cutting of
wood with straight cutting lines as well as mitre cuts in wood while
resting firmly on the workpiece. With suitable saw blades, thin-
walled non-ferrous metals, e. g., profiles, can also be sawed.
Working ferrous metals is not permitted.
