SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL SAWS
Sawing
a
DANGER: Do not put your
hands in the sawing area or on
the saw blade
b
Do not grip underneath the workpiece
The safety guard cannot protect you
against the saw blade under the
workpiece.
c
Adjust the cutting depth to the thick-
ness of the workpieces The saw should
protrude by no more than the height of
one tooth under the workpiece.
d
Never hold the workpiece to be sawn in
your hand or over your leg Secure the
workpiece in a stable holder It is impor-
tant to fasten the workpiece firmly in order
to minimise the danger of contact with the
body, jamming of the saw blade or loss of
control.
e
Grip the electric power tool by the insu-
lated handling surfaces only when you
are carrying out work in situations
where the tool insert may make contact
with hidden power lines or its own
power cable Contact with a live wire
places a voltage on the metal parts of the
electric power tool and will lead to an
electric shock.
f
Always use a stop or a straight edge
guide when making longitudinal cuts
These improve the accuracy of the cut and
reduce the possibility of the saw blade
jamming.
g
Always use saw blades of the right size
and with matching locating holes (e g
star-shaped or round) Saw blades
which are not matched to the mounting
pieces of the saw will run eccentrically and
lead to loss of control.
h
Never attach the saw blade using dam-
aged or incorrect washers or screws
The saw blade washers and screws are
specially constructed for your saw, to give
optimal performance and operating safety.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR ALL SAWS
The causes of kickback and how to
avoid them:
•
A kickback is a sudden reaction due to
snagging, jamming or misalignment of the
saw blade, which results in the uncon-
trolled saw jumping out of the workpiece
and moving towards the operator.
•
If the saw blade having snagged or
jammed in a self-closing saw cut, is locked
and the motors power jolts the device
back towards the operator.
•
If the saw blade is rotated or misaligned in
the saw cut, the teeth on the rear edge of
the blade can become hooked in the
surface of the workpiece, whereby the
saw blade jumps out of the cut and the
saw springs back in the direction of the
operator.
A kickback is the result of improper or incor-
rect use of the saw. It can be avoided by taking
suitable precautions, as described below.
a
Always keep yourself to one side of the
saw blade and never bring the blade in
line with your body In the event of a
kickback, the circular saw may spring
backwards; however, the operator can
control the kickback force if suitable
measures have been taken.
b
If the saw blade becomes jammed or if
you interrupt the work, switch the saw
off and keep it held gently in the mate-
rial until the saw blade has come to
rest Never attempt to extract the saw
from the workpiece or to pull it back-
wards while the saw blade is moving;
otherwise a kickback may occur Find
and remove the cause for the saw-blade's
jamming.
c
If you wish to restart a saw that is
already in the workpiece, centre the
saw blade in the cut and check that the
teeth are not snagged in the workpiece
If the saw blade jams, it may run out of the
workpiece or cause a kickback when the
saw is restarted.
d
Provide support for large sheets to
reduce the risk of a kickback through
jamming of the saw blade Large
