The plunge saw is intended to cut wood and similar
materials, gypsum and cement-bonded fiber materials
and plastic. With compatible special saw blades the
plunge saw can also be used to cut aluminum.
The plunge saw is only to be used with a
specifically designed guide rail. Installation in a
differenct or homemade guide rail or workbench
can cause serious accidents.
WARNING! Read this manual and general
safety instructions carefully before using the
appliance, for your own safety. Your power
tool should only be passed on together with
these instructions.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
PLUNGE SAWS
- Make sure that the mains voltage matches the
specifications on the type plate.
- Persons with restricted physical, sensory or mental
capabilities are not allowed to use the plunge saw
unless they are supervised and instructed by a
guardian.
- Never leave the powered-on saw unattended and keep
them out of reach of children and persons in need of
supervision.
- Do not bring your hands in the cutting area and the saw
blade.
- Keep in mind that even a worn saw blade is still very
sharp. Always grasp the saw blade on the sides. Do not
fling the saw blade and do not drop it.
- Never use the plunge saw with grinding wheels.
- Do not grip underneath the workpiece. The protective
cover cannot protect you from the saw blade under the
workpiece.
- Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece. It should be visible less than a full tooth
height under the workpiece.
- Do not cut very small workpieces. When cutting round
wood, use a device which secures the workpiece from
twisting. Never hold the workpiece to be cut in your
hand or across your leg. It is important to secure the
workpiece properly to minimise the risk of physical
contact, jamming of the saw blade or loss of control.
- Hold the saw only by the insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may come into contact with
hidden power lines or its own device cable. Contact
with a live wire also exposes the metal parts to tension
and leads to an electric shock.
- Use always saw blades in the correct size and with
suitable locating bore. Saw blades that do not match
the mounting parts of the saw will run unevenly and
lead to loss of control.
- Never use a damaged or incorrect outer flange or a
damaged clamping screw. The outer flange and the
clamping screw have been specially designed for your
saw for optimum performance and reliability.
- Start the plunge saw and begin cutting when it reaches
the full idling speed.
- Never brake the saw blade using lateral pressure after
switching it off.
- Set the saw aside only when the saw blade comes to a
ENGLISH
22
standstill.
- Do not expose the saw to high temperatures, humidity
and strong shocks. The saw can be damaged as a
result.
- Hold the saw firmly with both hands and bring your
arms into a position in which you can resist the kickback
forces
CAUSES AND PREVENTION OF KICKBACK
- A kickback is the sudden reaction as a result of a
stuck, jammed or misaligned saw blade which leads
to an uncontrolled saw to be lifted and moved from the
workpiece out in the direction of the operator.
- A kickback can occur when the saw blade gets stuck or
jammed in the saw gap. The saw blade is blocked and
the motor force repels the circular saw in the direction
of the operator.
- A kickback can occur when the saw blade becomes
twisted or misaligned in the saw groove. As a result,
the teeth of the back edge of the saw blade can get
stuck in the surface of the workpiece, whereby the saw
blade is moved out of the saw gap and the saw jumps
back in the direction of the operator.
- A kickback is the result of incorrect or faulty use of the
saw. It can be prevented by appropriate precautions as
described below.
- Hold the saw firmly with both hands and bring your
arms into a position in which you can resist the kickback
forces. Always hold the saw baldes on the sides, never
bring the blade in line with your body. In a kickback, the
saw can jump backwards, but the operator can control
the kickback forces if appropriate measures were
taken.
- If the saw blade jams or sawing is interrupted for any
reason, release the ON / OFF switch and calmly hold
the saw in the material until the saw blade stands
completely still. Never attempt to remove the saw from
the workpiece or pull it backwards as long as the saw
blade is moving or a kickback might occur. Find the
cause of the saw blade jam and eliminate them through
appropriate measures.
- When you want to restart a saw that is stuck in a
workpiece, center the saw blade in the saw gap
and check that the saw teeth are not stuck in the
workpiece. If the saw blade jams, it can move out from
the workpiece or a kickback can happen if the saw is
restarted.
- Prop up large panels in order to minimise the risk of a
kickback by a jammed saw blade. Large panels tend to
sag under their own weight. Panels must be supported
on both sides, both in the vicinity of the saw gap as well
as on the edge.
- Do not use dull or damaged saw blades. Saw blades
with blunt or misaligned teeth cause increased
friction, jamming of the saw blade and kickback by an
excessively narrow saw gap.
- Tighten the cutting depth position prior to cutting. If the
settings change while cutting, the saw blade can jam
and a kickback can occur.
- Be especially careful if you perform a "circular cut" in a
hidden area, such as an existing wall. The protruding
saw blade can get blocked in hidden objects while
cutting and cause a kickback.
- Do not place the saw on the workbench or the floor
unless the saw blade is at a standstill. An unprotected,
running saw blade moves the saw against the cutting
direction and cuts whatever is in its way. Thus note the
delay time of the saw.
- For this reason, the saw is not suitable for use in
reverse position as fixed equipment.
- Do not operate the saw if it is not working properly or
has been damaged. In case of technical problems, do
