Electrical Safety - Batavia T-RAXX COMPACT BT-PS004 Bedienungsanleitung

• A kickback can occur when the saw blade
gets stuck or jammed in the saw gap. The
saw blade is blocked and the motor force
repels the circular saw in the direction of
the operator.
• A kickback can occur when the saw blade
becomes twisted or misaligned in the saw
groove. As a result, the teeth of the back
edge of the saw blade can get stuck in the
surface of the workpiece, whereby the
saw blade is moved out of the saw gap
and the saw jumps back in the direction of
the operator.
A kickback is the result of incorrect or faulty
use of the saw. It can be prevented by appro-
priate precautions as described below.
• Hold the saw firmly with both hands and
bring your arms into a position in which
you can resist the kickback forces. Always
hold the saw on the sides, never bring the
blade in line with your body. In a kickback,
the saw can jump backwards, but the
operator can control the kickback forces if
appropriate measures were taken.
• If the saw blade jams or sawing is inter-
rupted for any reason, release the ON /
OFF switch and calmly hold the saw in the
material until the saw blade stands com-
pletely still. Never attempt to remove the
saw from the workpiece or pull it back-
wards as long as the saw blade is moving
or a kickback might occur. Find the cause
of the saw blade jam and eliminate them
through appropriate measures.
• When you want to restart a saw that is
stuck in a workpiece, center the saw blade
in the saw gap and check that the saw
teeth are not stuck in the workpiece. If the
saw blade jams, it can move out from the
workpiece or a kickback can happen if the
saw is restarted.
• Prop up large panels in order to minimise
the risk of a kickback by a jammed saw
blade. Large panels tend to sag under
their own weight. Panels must be sup-
ported on both sides, both in the vicinity of
the saw gap as well as on the edge.
• Do not use dull or damaged saw blades.
Saw blades with blunt or misaligned teeth
cause increased friction, jamming of the

saw blade and kickback by an excessively
narrow saw gap.
• Tighten the cutting depth position prior to
cutting. If the settings change while cut-
ting, the saw blade can jam and a kick-
back can occur.
• Be especially careful if you perform a
"circular cut" in a hidden area, such as an
existing wall. The protruding saw blade
can get blocked in hidden objects while
cutting and cause a kickback.
• Do not place the saw on the workbench or
the floor unless the saw blade is at a
standstill. An unprotected, running saw
blade moves the saw against the cutting
direction and cuts whatever is in its way.
Thus note the delay time of the saw.
• For this reason, the saw is not suitable for
use in reverse position as fixed equipment.
• Do not operate the saw if it is not working
properly or has been damaged. In case of
technical problems, do not attempt to
repair it on your own. Contact the service
or have the saw repaired by a
professional.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

When using electric machines always observe
the safety regulations applicable in your coun-
try to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
personal injury. Read the following safety
instructions and also the enclosed safety
instructions.
Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the
rating plate.
Class II machine – Double insulation
– You don't need any earthed plug.
Replacing cables or plugs
If the power cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or its service
agent or a similarly qualified person, in order to
avoid a hazard.
Immediately throw away old cables or plugs
when they have been replaced by new ones. It
is dangerous to insert the plug of a loose cable
in the wall outlet.
