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. Unsharp-
ened or improperly set blades produce narrow
kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding
and kickback.
Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking le-
vers must be tight and 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 or other blind areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that can
cause kickback.
Do not operate the saw if lower guard does
not move freely and close instantly. Never
clamp or tie the lower guard into the open po-
sition. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower
guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with
the retracting handle and make sure it moves
freely and does not touch the blade or any oth-
er part, in all angles and depths of cut.
Check the operation of the lower guard
spring. If the guard and the spring are not op-
erating 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 such as "plunge cuts" and
"compound cuts". Raise lower guard by re-
tracting handle and as soon as blade enters
the material, the lower guard must be re-
leased. For all other sawing, the lower guard
should operate automatically.
Always observe that the lower guard is cover-
ing the blade before 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 re-
leased.
Do not work overhead with the saw. this man-
ner you do not have sufficient control over the
power tool.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if util-
ity lines are hidden in 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 explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line causes property
damage or may cause an electric shock.
For Your Safety
Do not operate the power tool stationary. It is
not designed for operation with a saw table.
Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw blades.
Such saw blades can easily break.
Do not use grinding discs. Grinding discs are
not permitted for use with this power tool.
When working with the machine, always hold
it firmly with both hands and provide for a se-
cure stance. The power tool is guided more se-
cure with both hands.
Secure the workpiece. workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more se-
cure than by hand.
Always wait until the machine has come to a
complete stop before placing it down. The tool in-
sert can jam and lead to loss of control over the
power tool.
The spindle lock button may only be actuated
when the machine is stopped.
Do not touch the rotating application tool! Re-
move wood chips and similar only when the
machine is stopped.
Never attempt to stop the saw blade by apply-
ing lateral pressure to it.
The retracting blade guard must move freely
and return easily, precisely, and automatically
into its starting position.
When sawing materials with intense dust devel-
opment, the machine must be cleaned regular-
ly. Proper operation of the protective devices
(e.g. the blade guard) must be ensured.
Materials producing hazardous dusts or va-
pours during working (e.g. asbestos) may not
be sawn.
Check the workpiece for foreign objects. When
working, always pay attention not to saw into
nails etc.
If the saw blade should become jammed, imme-
diately switch the machine off.
Do not attempt to cut extremely small workpiec-
es.
While working, the workpiece must be firmly
supported and secured against moving.
Use only saw blades that are suited for the ma-
terial to be worked.
Never allow children to use the machine.
Use only original Würth parts and accesso-
ries.
