f.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
Service

a. Please use a qualified expert who uses
original replacement parts to repair
your power tool. This will ensure proper
functioning of the power tool.

Cutting procedures
3.1
a.
DANGER: Keep hands away
from cutting area and the
blade. Keep your second hand
on auxiliary handle, or motor housing.
If both hands are holding the saw, they
cannot be cut by the blade.
b. Do not reach underneath the work-
piece. The guard cannot protect you
from the blade below the workpiece.
c. Adjust the cutting depth to the thick-
ness of the workpiece. Less than a full
tooth of the blade teeth should be visi-
ble below the workpiece.
d. Never hold piece being cut in your
hands or across your leg. Secure the
workpiece to a stable platform. It is
important to support the work properly
to minimise body exposure, blade bind-
ing, or loss of control.
e. Hold the power tool by insulated grip-
ping surfaces only, when performing
an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also
make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.

f.
When ripping, always use a rip fence
or straight edge guide. This improves
the accuracy of cut and reduces the
chance of blade binding.
g. Always use blades with correct size
and shape (diamond versus round) of
arbour holes. Blades that do not match
the mounting hardware of the saw will
run eccentrically, causing loss of
control.
h. Never use damaged or incorrect blade
washers or bolts. The blade washers
and bolt were specially designed for
your saw, for optimum performance
and safety of operation.

Kickback causes and related warnings
3.3
• 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 rapidly back toward the
operator.
• If the blade becomes twisted or mis-
aligned 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 con-
ditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions 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 back-
wards, but kickback forces can be con-
trolled by the operator if proper precau-
tions are taken.
b. When blade is binding, or when inter-
rupting a cut for any reason, release
the trigger and hold the saw motion-
less in the material until the blade
