SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL SAWS

When cutting
1. DANGER: The operator must ensure that his/
her hands are at a safe distance from the cut-
ting point and the saw disc. The other hand
must be used to grip the auxiliary handle or
the motor housing. If the saw is held with both
hands, the hands cannot be cut with the disc.
2. Do not touch the workpiece. The protective
cover cannot protect the operator from touch-
ing the disc under the workpiece.
3. The depth of cut must be adapted to the thick-
ness of the workpiece. The visible part of the
saw disc teeth under the workpiece should be
less than the height of one tooth.
4. The workpiece must never be held in the hand
or over the knee when cutting. The workpiece
must be mounted on a solid base. It is impor-
tant that the workpiece is properly supported
and that the risk of touching any part of the
body, the disc jamming, or loss of control is
reduced to the minimum.
5. When performing an operation where the cut-
ting tool may touch a hidden guide or its own
power supply, the power tool must be held
by insulated gripping surfaces. Contact with
a "live" wire will cause the uninsulated metal
parts of the power tool to become "live" and
may cause an electric shock to the user.
6. When cutting longitudinally, it is always nec-
essary to use a longitudinal ruler or a guide
with a straight edge. This improves cutting ac-
curacy and reduces the risk of the disc getting
stuck.
7. Discs with clamping holes of the correct size
and shape (diamond or circular) must always
be used. Saw discs that do not exactly match
the saw's clamping components will not be
centred and will cause a loss of control.
8. Damaged or incorrect washers or screws must
never be used to clamp the disc. The washers
and screws for clamping the disc have been
specially designed for your saw for optimum
performance and work safety.
Causes of recoil and related warnings
6 ENGLISH
Recoil is a sudden reaction of a pinched, blocked
or misaligned saw disc resulting in an uncon-
trolled upward movement of the saw upwards
and away from the workpiece towards the oper-
ator;
• If the saw disc is clamped or completely
blocked by the clamping cut, it stops, and the
reaction force of the motor causes the saw to
be thrown back quickly towards the operator;
• If the saw disc is rotated or misaligned in the
cut, the teeth on the rear edge of the disc may
hit the wood surface from above, the disc will
jump out of the cut and the saw will be thrown
back towards the operator.
Recoil is the result of improper use of the saw
and/or improper work procedures or conditions
and can be prevented by fully complying with
the above precautions.
• The saw must always be held firmly with both
hands and the arms in a position that it can
withstand the force of the recoil. The body
of the operator must be on one side of the
disc, but not in the plane of the disc. Recoil
can cause the saw to be thrown back, but the
force caused by the recoil can be handled by
the user taking the appropriate safety precau-
tions.
• If the saw disc becomes stuck or if it is nec-
essary to interrupt the cut for any reason, the
switch control must be released, and the saw
held in place in the material until the saw disc
comes to a complete stop. The operator must
never attempt to lift the saw from the cut or
pull it back while the saw disc is in motion; in
such cases, recoil may occur. It is necessary to
look for the causes of the saw disc jamming
and ways to eliminate these causes.
• If the saw disc is lowered in the workpiece, the
saw disc must be centred in the cut so that the
saw teeth are not immersed in the material. If
the saw disc jams, the saw may be pushed up-
wards from the workpiece or recoil may occur.
• Large sawn timber must be supported to min-
imize the risk of recoil and the saw disc jam-
ming. Large sawn timber tends to sag under
its own weight. There must be pads on both
sides under the board near the cut and near
the edges.
• Blunt or damaged saw discs must not be used.
Unsharpened or incorrectly adjusted saw discs
