• When restarting a saw in the work-
piece, centre the saw blade in the kerf
so that the saw teeth are not engaged
into the material. If a saw blade binds, it
may walk up or kickback from the work-
piece as the saw is restarted.
• Support large panels to minimise the
risk of blade pinching and kickback.
Large panels tend to sag under their own
weight. Supports 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 improperly set blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive
friction, blade binding and kickback.
• Blade depth and bevel adjusting lock-
ing levers must be tight and secure be-
fore making the cut. If blade adjustment
shifts while cutting, it may cause binding
and kickback.
• Use extra caution when sawing into ex-
isting walls or other blind areas. The
protruding blade may cut objects that can
cause kickback.
Lower Guard Function
• Check the lower guard for proper clos-
ing 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 retract-
ing handle and make sure it moves freely
and does not touch the blade or any oth-
er 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
operate sluggishly due to damaged parts,
gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
• The lower guard may be retracted
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 before placing the
saw down on bench or floor. An unpro-
10
tected, 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 recommended by
PARKSIDE. Unsuitable accessories may
cause electric shock or fire.

Residual risks

There will always be residual risks even if you
operate this device according to the instruc-
tions. The following hazards may occur in
connection with the type and design of this
device:
• Eye damage if no suitable eye protection
is worn.
• Hearing damage if suitable ear protection
is not worn.
• Health injuries resulting from the effect of
hand/arm vibration in the event that the
tool is used over a longer period of time
or is not used and maintained properly.
• Cutting injuries
WARNING! Danger due to electromag-
netic field generated while the tool is in oper-
ation. Under certain circumstances, this field
may negatively affect active or passive med-
ical implants. In order to reduce the danger
of serious or fatal injuries, we recommend
that individuals who wear medical implants
should consult their doctor and the manufac-
turer of the implant before operating the tool.

Preparation

WARNING! Risk of injury due to uninten-
tional start-up. Only insert the battery into
the device once the device is fully prepared
for use.
