in the closing sawing gap or sticks, it
will jam, and the motor force will kick
the saw back towards the operator.
• If the saw blade is twisted in the saw
cut or incorrectly aligned, the teeth of
the rear edge of the saw blade can
jam in the wood surface, causing the
saw blade to move out of the sawing
gap and the saw to recoil in the
direction of the operator.
Spring-back is caused by wrongly or
incorrectly operating the saw. It can
be avoided by suitable precautionary
measures, such as those described below.
a) Hold the saw firmly and bring your
arm into a position in which you can
resist the spring-back force. Always
hold onto the side of the saw blade
and never align the saw blade with
your body. In the event of a spring-
back, the circular saw can kick back,
but the operator can keep control over
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 PROTECTIVE HOOD
a) Before each use, check whether the
protective hood closes properly. Do not
use the saw if the protective hood does
not move freely or close right away.
Never clamp or bind the protective
hood in an open position. If the saw
accidentally falls to the ground, the
guard­cover­may­be­bent.­Make­sure­
that the protective hood moves freely
and does not touch the saw blade or
other parts at all cutting angles and
depths.
b) Check the condition and function of the
springs for the protective hood. If the
protective hood and spring do not work
properly, have the saw serviced before
using it.­Damaged­parts,­sticky­depos-
its or accumulations of chips cause the
bottom protective hood to work with a
delay.
