a cut for any reason, 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.
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre
the saw blade in 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.
d) Support large panels to minimise the risk of
blade pinching and 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.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive
friction, blade binding and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers
must be tight and secure before making cut.
If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may
cause binding and kickback.
g) 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.
Safety instructions guard
a) Check guard for proper closing before each
use. Do not operate the saw if guard does not
move freely and enclose the blade instantly.
Never clamp or tie the guard with the blade
exposed. If saw is accidentally dropped, guard
may be bent. Check to make sure that guard
moves freely and does not touch the blade or
any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation and condition of the
guard return spring. If the guard and the
spring are not operating properly, they must
be serviced before use. Guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy
deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c) Assure that the guide plate of the saw will not
shift while performing the "plunge cut" when
the blade bevel setting is not at 90°. Blade
shifting sideways will cause binding and likely
kick back.
d) Always observe that the guard is covering 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 released.
Specific safety instructions
• Do not use misshaped or cracked blades.
• Regularly check the blades for damage. If
necessary, replace them.
• Only use blades recommended by Ferm.
• Never use a saw that has components missing
or a saw that is fitted with accessories which
were not supplied with the saw or which are not
recommended for use with the saw.
• Never exert sideways pressure on the blade to
bring it to a stop.
• Remove the plug from the plug socket before
checking whether the protective cover can
move freely and does not become stuck.
• Do not lock or clamp the protective cover.
• Do not use the saw without the protective cover.
• Before using the saw, check whether the
protective cover has been fitted.
• Always remove the plug from the plug socket
before removing the protective cover, replacing
the blade or when checking the saw and
carrying out maintenance work.
• A damaged power cord should only be replaced
by the manufacturer or a service agent.
• After use, the saw must be stored in such a way
that the blade cannot become damaged.
• Do not use abbrasive discs .
• Always wear a dust mask
• Only use saw blades recommended (e.g saw
blades intended for wood shall have EN 847-1
approval)
• Always wear hearing protection
• Only use blade diameter in accordance with the
marking label
• Have a suitable, tested vacuum removal device
attached to the saw when working with woods
or materials that create dusts that may be
hazardous to health.
• When cutting plastics, avoid to overheat the
blade, avoid to melt the plastic!
• Be careful when handling the saw blades
as they are sharp and can cause injury. It is
recommended to wear protective gloves when
handling the saw blades.
