Sawing process
DANGER: Keep your hands out of
a)
the cutting area and away from the
saw blade. Keep your second hand on the
additional handle or on the engine housing. If
you hold the saw with both hands, they cannot
be injured by the saw blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the work pi-
ece. The guard will not protect you from the saw
blade under the work piece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thick-
ness of the work piece. Less than the full
width of a tooth should be visible from under
the work piece.
d) Never hold the work piece with your
hand or lay it over a leg. Secure the
work piece on a stable fixture. It is im-
portant to fix the work piece safely, to minimise
the danger of contact with the body, jamming
of the saw blade or loss of control.
e) Only hold the power tool by the insu-
lated handles when undertaking work
where the tool may strike hidden power
lines or the tool's power cord. Contact
with a live wire could cause metal parts of the
power tool to become live and lead to electric
shock.
f) When cutting along the way always
use a fence or a straight edge guide.
That improves the precision of the cut and mini-
mises the possibility that the saw blade jams.
g) Always use saw blades of the correct
size and with matching mounting hole
(e.g. star-shaped or round). Saw blades
not matching the attachments of the saw run
untrue and lead to loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect saw
blade washers or bolts. The saw blade
washers and screws were specifically developed
for your saw, for optimal performance and ope-
rating safety.

Kickback– causes and related safety notices
- Kickback is a sudden reaction if the saw blade
catches, jams or is misaligned and the uncont-
rolled saw lifts out of the work piece and in the
direction of the operator;
- if the saw blade becomes caught or jammed in
the closing sawing gap, it seizes and the power
of the motor kicks the saw back toward the
operator;
- if the saw blade is distorted or misaligned in the
saw gap, the teeth of the rear blade edge can
jam in the surface of the work piece, causing
the saw blade to move out of the saw gap and
the saw to kick back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of misuse or incorrect use of the
saw. It can be avoided by taking the in the following
described precautions.
a) Hold the saw with both hands and
bring your arms into a position that
allows you to absorb the forces of kick-
back. Always stand to the side of the
saw blade, never bring the saw blade
into a line with your body. During a kick-
back the saw can jump backwards, however,
the operator can master the forces of the kick-
back with suitable preventive measures.
b) Should the saw blade jam, or you stop
the work, switch the saw off and hold
it still in the work piece, until the saw
blade has come to a standstill. Never
attempt to remove the saw from the
work piece or to pull it backwards, as
long as the saw blade moves, as other-
wise a kickback could occur. Find out
and rectify the reason for the jamming of the
saw blade.
c) If you want to restart a saw that is
stuck in the work piece, centre the saw
