Lower guard function
Check the lower guard for proper
closing before each use. Do not operate
the saw if the lower guard does not
move freely and close instantly. Never
clamp or tie the lower guard into the
open position. If the saw is accidentally
dropped, the 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.
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.
The lower guard may be retracted
manually only for special cuts such as
"plunge cuts" and "compound cuts" .
Raise the lower guard by the retracting
handle and as soon as the blade enters
the material, the lower guard must be
released. For all other sawing, the lower guard
should operate automatically.
Always observe that the lower guard
is covering the blade before placing
the 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.
Additional safety warnings
Do not allow the chip ejector to come
into contact with your hands. You may be
injured by rotating parts.
Do not use the saw above the level of
your head. Doing so will mean you have
inadequate control of the power tool.
Use suitable detectors to determine if
there are hidden supply lines or contact
the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric cables can cause fire and
electric shock. Damaging gas lines can lead to
explosion. Breaking water pipes causes property
damage.
Do not operate the power tool when
stationary. It is not suitable for operation with
a saw table.
When performing plunge cuts which
are not right-angled, secure the guide
plate of the saw so that it will not shift
sideways. In the event of a sideways shift, the
saw blade may become jammed, which could
lead to kickback.
Do not use HSS saw blades. Such saw
blades can easily break.
Do not saw any ferrous metals. Hot chips
may ignite the dust extractor.
In case of damage and improper use of
the battery, vapours may be emitted.
Ensure the area is well-ventilated and seek
medical attention should you experience any
adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the
respiratory system.
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of
short-circuiting.
The battery can be damaged by pointed
objects such as nails or screwdrivers
or by force applied externally. An internal
short circuit may occur, causing the battery to
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
Only use the battery with products
from the manufacturer. This is the only way
in which you can protect the battery against
dangerous overload.
Protect the battery against heat,
e.g. against continuous intense
sunlight, fire, water and moisture.
There is a risk of explosion.
Always wait until the power tool has
come to a complete stop before placing
it down. The application tool can jam and
cause you to lose control of the power tool.
