•
Rear kickback can cause the saw to move rapidly
backward, but the strength of the rear kickback can be
controlled by the operator if proper precautions are taken.
•
When the cutting disc jams or when it interrupts cutting
for any reason, release the switch button and hold the saw
stationary in the material until the cutting disc stops completely.
Never try to remove the cutting disc from the cut material, or
pull the saw backwards as long as the cutting disc is moving
may cause rear kickback. Investigate and take corrective action
to eliminate the cause of the cutting disc jamming.
•
When restarting the saw in the workpiece, center the
cutting disc in the cut and check that the cutting disc teeth are
not jammed in the material. If the cutting disc jams when the
saw is restarted, it may slide out or cause backlash against the
workpiece.
•
Support large slabs to minimize the risk of clamping and
rear kickback of the saw. Large slabs tend to yield under their
own weight. Supports should be placed under the slab on both
sides, near the cutting line and near the edge of the slab.
•
Do not use dull or damaged cutting discs. Unsharpened
or misaligned cutting disc teeth create a narrow cut causing
excessive friction, jamming of the cutting disc and back recoil.
•
Set the cutting depth and tilt angle clamps securely
before making the cut. If the saw settings change during cutting,
it may cause jamming and back kickback
•
Be especially careful when making plunge cuts in
partitions. The cutting blade may cut other objects not visible
from the outside, causing rear recoil.
BOTTOM COVER FUNCTIONS
•
Check the bottom guard before each use to make sure it
is correctly slipped on. Do not use the saw if the bottom guard
does not move freely and does not come off immediately. Never
attach or leave the bottom guard in an open position. If the saw
is accidentally dropped, the bottom guard may be bent. Lift the
bottom guard with the pull-back handle and make sure it moves
freely and does not touch the cutting blade or any other part of
the machine for each angle setting and depth of cut.
•
Check the operation of the bottom guard spring. If the
guard and spring do not function properly, they should be
repaired before use. Triggering of the bottom guard may be
slowed down due to damaged parts, sticky deposits, or waste
build-up.
•
It is allowed to withdraw the bottom guard manually only
for special cuts like "plunge cutting" and "compound cutting".
Raise the bottom guard with the pull-back handle, and when the
cutting blade plunges into the material, the bottom guard should
be released. For all other cuts, it is recommended that the
bottom guard operate on its own.
•
Always observe that the bottom guard covers the cutting
disc before putting the saw down on the workbench or floor. An
uncovered rotating cutting disc will cause the saw to move
backward cutting anything in its path. Consider the time
required for the cutting disc to stop after shutting down.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS PRECAUTIONS
•
Do not use damaged or deformed cutting discs.
•
Do not use grinding wheels.
•
Use
only
cutting
manufacturer that meet the requirements of EN 847-1.
•
Do not use cutting discs that do not have carbide-tipped
teeth.
•
Dust from certain types of wood can be hazardous to
health. Direct physical contact with dust can cause allergic
reactions and/or respiratory diseases in the operator or
bystanders. Oak and beech dusts are considered carcinogenic,
especially in connection with wood treatment substances (wood
preservatives).
•
Use personal protective equipment such as:
•
Hearing protectors to reduce the risk of hearing loss;
•
eye cover;
•
Respiratory protection to reduce the risk of inhaling
harmful dust;
•
gloves for handling cutting discs and other rough and
sharp materials (cutting discs should be held by the hole
whenever possible);
Connect a dust extraction system when cutting wood. SAFE
WORK

by
•
It is necessary to select a cutting disc according to the
type of material to be cut.
•
Do not use the chainsaw to cut materials other than
wood or wood-based materials.
•
Do not use the chainsaw without the guard or when it is
locked.
•
The floor in the area where the machine is working
should be well maintained with no loose materials or
protrusions.
•
Adequate lighting should be provided for the workplace.
•
The employee operating the machine should be properly
trained in the use, operation and working of the machine.
•
Use only sharp cutting discs.
•
Pay attention to the maximum speed marked on the
cutting disc.
•
Ensure that the parts used are in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations.
•
Disconnect the saw from the power supply when
performing maintenance.
•
If the power cord is damaged during operation,
immediately disconnect the power supply. DO NOT TOUCH
THE POWER CORD BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE
POWER SUPPLY.
•
If the saw is equipped with a laser, do not replace the
laser with another type, and any repairs must be performed by
a service center. Do not point the laser beam at people or
animals.
•
Do not use this tool in stationary mode. It is not intended
for use with a cutting table.
•
Mount the workpiece on a stable surface and secure it
with a clamp or vise to eliminate movement. This type of
workpiece clamping is safer than holding the workpiece in your
hand.
•
Wait for the blade to stop completely before putting the
tool down. The cutting blade may jam and cause you to lose
control of the tool.
•
Before starting to cut, wait until the disc reaches its
maximum speed. When they are reached, start cutting by
carefully applying the disc to the material to be cut
NOTE: The device is used for indoor operation.
Despite the use of safe design by design, the use of safety
measures and additional protective measures, there is
always a risk of residual injury during operation.
