• When the cutting disc jams or when it stops cutting for any
reason, release the switch button and hold the saw
stationary in the material until the cutting disc stops
completely. Never attempt to remove the cutting disc from
the cut material, or pull the saw backwards while the cutting
disc is moving may cause rear kickback. Investigate and
take corrective action to eliminate the cause of the cutting
disc seizing.
• When restarting the saw in the workpiece, centre the cutting
disc in the cut and check that the teeth of the cutting disc 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 minimise the risk of clamping and rear
kickback of the saw. Large slabs tend to bow under their own
weight. Supports should be placed under the slab on both
sides, near the cutting line and close to 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 this
can cause jamming and back kickback
• Be particularly careful when making plunge cuts in partitions.
The cutting disc may cut other objects not visible from the
outside, causing rear recoil.
FUNCTIONS OF THE BOTTOM COVER
• Check the bottom guard before each use to ensure that it is
correctly retracted. 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 the open position.
If the saw is accidentally dropped, the bottom guard may be
bent. Lift the bottom guard using the pull-back handle and
ensure that it moves freely and does not touch the cutting
blade or any other part of the machine for each angle and
depth of cut setting.
• Check the function of the bottom guard spring. If the guard
and spring are not working properly, they should be repaired
before use. Triggering of the bottom guard can be slowed
down by damaged parts, sticky deposits, or build-up of
waste.
• Manual withdrawal of the bottom guard is only permitted for
special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and "compound cuts".
Raise the bottom guard with the pull-back handle and when
the cutting disc penetrates the material, the bottom guard
should be released. For all other cuts, it is recommended
that the bottom guard operates automatically.
• 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
reverse cutting anything in its path. Consider the time it takes
for the cutting disc to stop after switching off.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS PRECAUTIONS
• Do not use damaged or deformed cutting discs.
• Do not use grinding wheels.
• Only use cutting discs recommended by the 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 protection;
• 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
WORKING
• It is important 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
blocked.
• The floor in the area where the machine is working should
be well maintained with no loose material or protrusions.
• Adequate lighting of the work area must be provided.
• The employee operating the machine should be properly
trained in the use, operation and handling of the machine.
• Use only sharp cutting discs.
• Pay attention to the maximum speed marked on the cutting
disc.
• Ensure that the parts used comply with the manufacturer's
recommendations.
• Disconnect the saw from the power supply when carrying
out maintenance.
• If the power cord becomes 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, the laser must not be
replaced with another type and any repairs must be carried
out by a service technician. 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.
• Clamp the workpiece to a stable surface and secure with a
clamp or vise to eliminate movement. This type of workpiece
clamping is safer than holding the workpiece in your hand.
• Wait until the blade stops completely before putting the tool
down. The cutting blade may jam and cause you to lose
control of the tool.
• Wait until the disc has reached its maximum speed before
starting to cut. Once this is reached, start cutting by carefully
placing the disc on the material to be cut.
ATTENTION: The device is designed for indoor operation.
Despite the use of an inherently safe design, the use of
safety measures and additional protective measures,
there is always a residual risk of injury during work.
