h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade
washers or bolt. The blade washers and
bolt were specially designed for your saw,
for optimum performance and safety of op-
eration.
KICKBACK CAUSES AND RELATED WARN-
INGS
– Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an
uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the
workpiece toward the operator;
– when the blade is pinched or bound tightly
by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls
and the motor reaction drives the unit rap-
idly back toward the operator;
– if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned
in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the
blade can dig into the top surface of the
wood causing the blade to climb out of the
kerf and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper precau-
tions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on
the saw and position your arms to resist
kickback forces. Position your body to
either side of the blade, but not in line
with the blade. Kickback could cause
the saw to jump backwards, but kickback
forces can be controlled by the operator, if
proper precautions are taken.
b) When blade is binding, or when inter-
rupting 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 work-
piece 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. Un-
sharpened 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 sawing into
existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding blade may cut objects that can
cause kickback.
LOWER GUARD FUNCTION
a) Check lower guard for proper closing
before each use. Do not operate the
saw if lower guard does not move freely
and close instantly. Never clamp or tie
the lower guard into the open position.
If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard
may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the
retracting handle and make sure it moves
freely and does not touch the blade or any
other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation of the lower guard
spring. If the guard and the spring are
not operating properly, they must be
serviced before use. Lower guard may
operate sluggishly due to damaged parts,
gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c) Lower guard may be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as „plunge
cuts" and „compound cuts". Raise lower
guard by retracting handle and as soon as
blade enters the material, the lower guard
must be released. For all other sawing, the
lower guard should operate automatically.
d) Always observe that the lower 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.
SAFETY WARNING FOR THE LASER
a) Do not stare directly at the laser beam. A
hazard may exist if you deliberately stare
into the beam.
b) The laser shall be used and maintained in
accordance with the manufacturer's in-
structions.
c) Never aim the beam at any person or an ob-
ject other than the work piece.
d) The laser beam shall not be deliberately
aimed at another person and shall be pre-
vented from being directed towards the eye
of a person for longer than 0.25 seconds.
e) Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at
a sturdy work piece without reflective sur-
faces, e.g wood or rough coated surfaces
are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective sheet
steel or similar is not suitable for laser appli-
cations as the reflective surface may direct
the laser beam back at the operator.
f) Do not change the laser device with a differ-
ent type. Repairs must be carried out by the
manufacturer or an authorized agent.
g) CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments
other than those specified herein may result
in hazardous radiation exposure.
FOR USE OF BATTERIES
a) CAUTION! Danger of explosion if batteries
are incorrectly replaced. Replace only with
the same or equivalent type. Observe cor-
rect polarity.
b) Batteries (battery pack or batteries in-
stalled) shall not be exposed to excessive
heat such as sunshine, fire or the like. Pro-
tect from mechanical shock. Keep dry and
clean. Keep away from children.
c) Do not open, dismantle, shred or short-cir-
cuit batteries. Do not mix old and new bat-
teries.
d) Dispose of properly. Pay attention to envi-
ronmental aspects of battery disposal. Do
not dispose of in household waste.
e) Refer to safety and other instructions on the
battery or its packaging.
f) In case of battery leakage, remove the bat-
teries and clean the battery compartment
thoroughly. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes.
