Sawing method
 DANGER: Keep your hands away from
the sawing area and the saw blade.
Hold the auxiliary handle or the motor
housing with your second hand.
If you hold the saw with both hands,
they cannot be injured by the saw blade.
 Do not grip under the workpiece.
The guard cannot protect you from
the saw blade under the workpiece.
 Adjust the cutting depth to the thick-
ness of the workpiece.
Less than one full tooth height should
be visible under the workpiece.
 Never hold the workpiece to be sawn
in your hand or over your leg.
Secure the workpiece in a stable
clamp.
It is important that the workpiece is securely
attached to minimise the risk of contact with
the body, jamming of the saw blade or loss
of control.
 Hold the electric power tool by the
insulated grip surfaces only if the
insertion tool is at risk of coming
into contact with concealed power
cables or the power cord itself.
If contact is made with a live cable, the
metal parts of the power tool will also
become live resulting in an electric shock.
 When cutting lengthwise, always
use a stop or a straight edge guide.
This improves the cutting accuracy and
reduces the possibility of the saw blade
jamming.
 Always use saw blades of the correct
size and with matching mounting bore
(e.g. star-shaped or round).
Saw blades, which do not match
the mounting parts of the saw, will run
untrue and result in loss of control.
 Never use damaged or incorrect saw
blade washers or screws.
18
The saw blade washers and screws have
been specially designed for your saw
to ensure optimum performance and
operational safety.
Kickback – causes and appropriate
safety instructions
A kickback is the sudden reaction caused
by a snagging, jamming or incorrectly aligned
saw blade which causes an uncontrolled saw
to lift and come out of the workpiece in the
direction of the user;
If the saw blade snags or jams in the closing
saw gap, it will lock and the motor power will
cause the saw to kickback in the direction
of the user;
If the saw blade twists or is incorrectly aligned
in the saw cut, the teeth on the back edge
of the saw blade may snag in the surface
of the workpiece, causing the saw blade
to move out of the saw gap and the saw
to jump back in the direction of the user.
A kickback occurs if the saw is used incor-
rectly or improperly. A recoil can be preven-
ted by appropriate precautions as described
below.
 Hold the saw firmly with both hands
and move your arms into a position
in which you can absorb the kickback
forces. Always hold the saw blade
sideways, never bring the saw blade
into line with your body.
If a kickback occurs, the saw may jump
backwards, however the user can control
the kickback forces by taking suitable
precautions.
 If the saw blade jams or you interrupt
work, switch the saw off and hold
it steady in the workpiece until the saw
blade has come to a standstill.
Never attempt to remove the saw blade
from the workpiece or pull it backwards
while the saw blade is moving, other-
wise a kickback may occur.
Establish and eliminate the cause of the
saw blade jamming.
 If you want to restart a saw which
is inserted in the workpiece, centre
the saw blade in the saw gap and
check that the saw teeth are not
snagged in the workpiece.
