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 instructions
Personal safety
▶
Never tamper with or modify the product or accessories in any way.
▶
Operate the power tool only together with the safety devices that belong to it.
▶
If you use the power tool without a dust extractor, always wear light respiratory protection when
undertaking work that creates dust.
▶
Always hold the power tool firmly with both hands on the grips provided.
▶
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
▶
Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by relaxing your hands and exercising your fingers
during breaks between working.
▶
The power tool is not intended for use by debilitated persons who have received no special training.
▶
Do not switch the power tool on until it is at the workplace and has been brought to its working
position.
▶
Remove the battery if a problem occurs with the power tool, whenever you change accessory tools
or accessories and before storing or transporting the power tool.
▶
Do not work overhead with the power tool.
▶
Do not attempt to brake the power tool by applying lateral pressure to the saw blade.
▶
Before inserting the battery, check that the saw is switched off and that the switch-on interlock is
activated. In this way you avoid injuries due to unintentional starting of the power tool.
▶
While the power tool is running, do not touch the clamping flange or the clamping screw.
▶
Before you lay down the power tool, wait until the power tool has come to a complete stop.
▶
Before changing the accessory tool, wait until the power tool has cooled down.
▶
Never press the drive spindle lock button while the saw blade is rotating.
▶
Never direct the power tool toward persons.
▶
The switch-on interlock must always be activated whenever you change accessories or the battery,
for transport and when you are going to stow the power tool away.
▶
Always use a saw blade suitable for the material and the condition of the workpiece.
▶
Bring the saw blade into contact with the workpiece only when the circular saw is switched on.
▶
Adapt forward pressure to the saw blade and the material being cut. In this way you prevent the
saw blade from stalling and possibly causing kickback.
▶
Avoid excessive heat development at the product or components of the product (e.g. saw blade,
saw blade tips, casing parts or guards). Cease work immediately if you see initial signs of damage
(e.g. odor or smoke development, melting plastic parts) and allow the product to cool down before
you resume work.
▶
The rated speed of the accessory tool must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can disintegrate and fly apart.
▶
Do not work in an environment heavily contaminated with dust.
