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 appro-

priate 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 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 inter-

rupted for any reason, release the ON /

OFF switch and calmly hold the saw in the

material until the saw blade stands com-

pletely still. Never attempt to remove the

saw from the workpiece or pull it back-

wards 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 sup-

ported 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 cut-

ting, the saw blade can jam and a kick-

back 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 not attempt to

repair it on your own. Contact the service

or have the saw repaired by a

professional.

GUARD FUNCTION

Check guard for proper closing before

each use. Do not operate the saw if

guard does not move freely and close

instantly. Never clamp or tie the guard

into the open position. If saw is acciden-

tally dropped, guard may be bent. Make

sure the guard moves freely and does not

touch the blade or any other part, in all

angles and depths of cut.

Check the operation of the guard

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.

Always observe that the guard is cover-

ing the blade before placing saw down

on bench or floor. An unprotected, coast-

ing blade will cause the saw to walk back-

wards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be

aware of the time it takes for the blade to

stop after switch is released.
