the spring-back forces using suitable
precautionary measures.
b) If the saw blade jams or you interrupt
your work, switch the saw off and keep
it still in the workpiece until the saw
blade has come to a full stop. Never try
to remove the saw from the workpiece
or pull it back as long as the saw blade
is moving, as otherwise it may spring
back. Identify and correct the cause of
the saw blade jamming.
c) If you want to restart a saw that is in
the workpiece, centre the saw blade in
the sawing gap and check whether the
teeth are jammed in the workpiece. If
the saw blade jams, it can move out
of the workpiece or cause spring-back
when the saw is restarted.
d) Support large plates to reduce the
risk of spring-back due to a jammed
saw blade. Large plates can bend
under their own weight. Plates must be
supported on both sides, not only near
the sawing gap, but also at the edge.
e) Do not use any blunt or damaged
saw blades. Saw blades with blunt
or improperly aligned teeth cause
increased friction, saw blade jamming
and spring-back due to an excessively
tight sawing gap.
f) Before sawing, fix the cutting depth
and cutting angle settings. If the
settings change during sawing, the saw
blade can jam, resulting in spring-back.
g) Be particularly careful when sawing
existing walls or other areas where
you cannot see what is there. During
sawing, the cutting saw blade can jam
in hidden objects and cause spring-
back.

FUNCTION OF THE BOTTOM PROTECTIVE
HOOD
a) Before each use, check whether the
bottom protective hood closes properly.
Do not use the saw if the bottom
protective hood does not move freely or
close right away. Never clamp or bind
the bottom protective hood in an open
position. If the saw accidentally falls to
the ground, the bottom protective hood
may be bent. Open the protective hood
using the pull lever and make sure that
it moves freely and does not touch the
saw blade or other parts at all cutting
angles and depths.
b) Check the function of the springs
for the bottom protective hood. If the
bottom protective hood and spring
do not work properly, have the saw
serviced before using it. Damaged
parts, sticky deposits or accumulations
of chips cause the bottom protective
hood to work with a delay.
c) Only open the bottom protective hood
by hand for special cuts, such as
"plunge and angular cuts". Open the
bottom protective hood with the pull
lever and release it as soon as the saw
blade cuts into the workpiece. For all
other sawing, the bottom protective
hood should work automatically.
d) Do not place the saw on the work
bench or the floor if the bottom
protective hood is not covering the
saw blade. An unprotected saw blade
that is still running will move the saw
in the direction opposite of the cutting
direction and cut whatever is in its
way. Pay attention to how long the saw
blade remains running.
