Assembly; Changing The Saw Blade; Saw Blades - EFA SK18 S Originalbetriebsanleitung

 Work particularly carefully when the saw is
switched on.
 Do not tilt or twist the saw blade.
 Guards on the saw must not be removed.
 After switching off, the saw blade is brought
to a standstill within 3 seconds by the run-
down brake. Only then may the handles be
released.
 Never work with a defective run-down brake.
 For safe operation (guidance), the breaking
saw should be suspended from a spring bal-
ancer.

4 Assembly

Disconnect the saw from the
mains power supply before all
assembly work.
