may occur. Investigate and take
corrective actions to eliminate the
cause of blade binding.
• When restarting a saw in the
workpiece, centre the saw blade
in the kerf so that the saw teeth
are not engaged into the mater-
ial. If a saw blade binds, it may
walk up or kickback from the work-
piece as the saw is restarted.
• Support large panels to minim-
ise the risk of blade pinching and
kickback. Large panels tend to
sag under their own weight. Sup-
ports must be placed under the
panel on both sides, near the line
of cut and near the edge of the
panel.
• Do not use dull or damaged
blades. Unsharpened or improp-
erly set blades produce narrow kerf
causing excessive friction, blade
binding and kickback.
• Blade depth and bevel adjusting
locking levers must be tight and
secure before making the cut.
If blade adjustment shifts while
cutting, it may cause binding and
kickback.
• Use extra caution when sawing
into existing walls or other blind
areas. The protruding blade may
cut objects that can cause kick-
back.
Lower Guard Function
• Check the lower guard for
proper closing before each
use. Do not operate the saw
if the lower guard does not
move freely and close instantly.
Never clamp or tie the lower
guard into the open position. If
the saw is accidentally dropped,
the lower guard may be bent.
Raise the lower guard with the re-
tracting 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 op-
erate sluggishly due to damaged
parts, gummy deposits, or a build-
up of debris.
• The lower guard may be retrac-
ted 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 be-
fore placing the saw down on
bench or floor. An unprotec-
ted, 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
• Make sure the tips of the saw
teeth do not overheat.
• When sawing plastic, make sure
the plastic does not melt.
• Pay attention to the maximum
cutting depth. (see technical
data)
• When sawing, wear a dust mask.
• Always wear hearing protection!
• Only use accessories recom-
mended by PARKSIDE. Unsuit-
able accessories may cause elec-
tric shock or fire.
