Kickback
Kickback is the upward and backward
movement of the saw blade when the saw blade
unexpectedly touches an object. Securely hold
the machine during use. Keep your attention
focused on the operation.
Kickback is usually caused by:
- unintentionally touching hard objects or
materials with the rotating saw blade;
- a blunt saw blade;
- a saw blade that is not properly mounted;
- sawing into a previous cut;
- a lack of attention to the operation;
- an instable stance.
Electrical safety
Always check that the voltage of the
power supply corresponds to the voltage
on the rating plate.
• Do not use the machine if the mains cable or
the mains plug is damaged.
• Only use extension cables that are suitable
for the power rating of the machine with a
minimum thickness of 1.5 mm2. If you use an
extension cable reel, always fully unroll the
cable.
Mains plug replacement (UK only)
If the moulded 3-pin plug attached to the unit is
damaged and needs replacing, it is important
that it is correctly destroyed and replaced by an
approved BS 1363/5A fused plug and that the
following wiring instructions are followed.
The wires in the mains cable are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
blue
neutral
brown
live
As the colours of the wires in the mains cable
of the unit may not correspond to the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in the plug,
proceed as follows:
- The wire which is coloured blue must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter N or coloured black.
- The wire which is coloured brown must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter L or coloured red.

Vibration level
The vibration emission level stated in this
instruction manual has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given in
EN 60745; it may be used to compare one tool
with another and as a preliminary assessment of
exposure to vibration when using the tool for the
applications mentioned
- using the tool for different applications, or with
different or poorly maintainted accessories,
may significantly increase the exposure level
- the times when the tool is switched off or when
it is running but not actually doing the job, may
significantly reduce the exposure level
Protect yourself against the effects of vibration by
maintaining the tool and its accessories, keeping
your hands warm, and organizing your work
patterns
