Special safety advice for circular saws and auto-
matic blade guards
Function of the lower protective hood
a) Before you use the saw, always check that
the automatic blade guard (5) closes prop-
erly. Do not use the saw if the bottom com-
partment of the blade guard does not move
freely or close immediately. Never jam or tie
the automatic blade guard in the open posi-
tion. The bottom part of automatic blade guard
may become bent if the saw falls on to the floor.
Open the blade guard with the release lever and
make sure that it moves freely and does not touch
the saw blade or other parts at all cutting angles
and depths.
b) Check that the spring on the automatic blade
guard functions properly. If the automatic
blade guard or spring does not function prop-
erly, have the device serviced before you use
it. Damaged parts, sticky deposits or accumula-
tions of splinters can delay the operation of the
bottom blade guard.
c) Open the automatic blade guard by hand only
for certain cuts such as plunge or angle cuts.
Open the automatic blade guard with the re-
lease lever (6) and let it go again as soon as
the saw blade penetrates the workpiece. The
automatic blade guard must be allowed to operate
automatically for all saw cuts.
d) Do not put the saw down on a work bench or
the floor without the automatic blade guard
covering the saw blade. If unprotected, a rotat-
ing saw blade moves the saw against the cutting
direction and saws whatever is in its way. Always
be aware that the saw blade takes some time to
stop.
Working safely:
• Never use the device for a purpose for which it was
not intended.
• Always keep the device clean, dry and free of oil
or grease.
• Make sure the device is switched on before placing
it against the workpiece.
• Always work away from your body.
• Do not saw materials containing asbestos.
• The course of the cut must have no obstructions
above or below it.
• The saw blade must not project more than 3 mm
out of the workpiece.
• When you are sawing, always make sure that you
do not cut through any nails, screws or the like.
• Do not work with the device in the overhead posi-
tion.
• Protect the saw blade from sharp blows or impacts
and prevent it from becoming tilted.

• When you switch off the saw, allow the blade to
slow down naturally - do not assist this process in
any way.
• Cracked or distorted blades are not to be used.
HSS (High Speed Steel) saw blades are not to be
used.
• Never remove sawdust or splinters whilst the saw
is running.
• 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.
• Always use the safety devices integrated into the
circular saw, e.g. the safety lock-out (2) and auto-
matic blade guard (5).
• Ensure that all moving parts of the saw blade pro-
tection system function properly and all the assem-
blies and components involved in covering the saw
blade are in perfect working order.
• Do not lock on the ON / OFF switch (3) in hand-guid-
ed operation.
Information on the rechargeable battery
1. The battery pack of the rechargeable device is
not charged when delivered. It is therefore nec-
essary to charge the battery before first com-
missioning.
2. For optimum battery capacity avoid deep dis-
charge cycles! Charge your battery frequently.
3. Store your battery in a cool place, ideally at 15°C
and with at least 40% charge.
4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to natural age-
ing. The rechargeable battery must be replaced
no later than when its capacity is just 80% of the
capacity in new condition! Weakened cells in an
aged battery pack are no longer able to cope
with the high capacity requirements and therefore
constitute a safety risk.
5. Do not throw old rechargeable batteries into an
open fire. Risk of explosion!
6. Do not ignite or burn rechargeable batteries.
7. Do not deep discharge rechargeable batter-
ies! Deep discharge damages the battery cells.
The most frequent cause of deep discharge in
battery packs is lengthy storage or a lack of use
of partially discharged rechargeable batteries.
End the working process as soon as the capaci-
ty is notably reduced or the protection electronics
trigger. Only store the rechargeable battery after
fully charging.
8. Protect rechargeable batteries or device from
overloading! Overloading quickly leads to over-
heating and cell damage inside the rechargea-
ble battery housing, without overheating being
externally visible.
