e.) Do not use dull or damaged saw blades. Saw
blades with dull or misaligned teeth increase the
friction, in the sawing slot, cause saw blade jams
and kickbacks.
f.) Before you start sawing, tighten the adjustments
for the cut depth and angles. If you change set-
tings while sawing, the saw blade can jam and a
kickback is the result.
g.) Be particularly careful when making "inserted
cuts" in walls that already exist or other areas
where you cannot see what is behind the surface.
When the saw blade is inserted into the wall it can
be blocked by hidden objects and cause a kick back.
Safety instructions for inserted circular saw use
a.) Each time before you use the saw, make sure that
the protective covering closes. Do not use the
saw if the protective covering cannot move freely
and does not close immediately. Never clip or tie
the protective covering in an opened position. If
the saw should accidentally fall to the ground, the
protective covering can get bent. Make sure that
the protective covering can move freely and does
not touch the saw blade or other parts in all cut-
ting positions.
b.) Check the condition and function of the spring for
the protective covering. Have the saw repaired
before use if the protective covering and spring
do not work perfectly. Damaged parts, sticky re-
siduals or piles of saw dust can interfere with the
working of the lower protective cover.
c.) When making an "inserted cut" that does not
describe a right angle, make sure that the saw
is guarded against slipping to the side. Slippage
can lead to a saw blade jam and a kickback.
d.) Do not put the saw on the workbench or the floor
without making sure that the protective cover is
over the saw blade. An unprotected, running saw
blade can move the saw against the cutting direc-
tion and saw what is in the way. Check the delay
time of the saw.
Additional safety instructions for all sawing with
a wedge
a.) Use the right wedge for the saw blade that is in
use. The wedge must be thicker than the thick-
ness of the steel blade but thinner than the width
of the teeth.
b.) Adjust the wedge as described in the operating
instructions. Incorrect thickness, position or di-
rection can be the reason that the wedge does
not effectively prevent a kickback.
c.) Always use a wedge, except when making an
inserted cut. Reassemble the wedge after an in-
serted cut. The wedge is in the way when making
an inserted cut and can cause a kickback.
d.) In order for the wedge to be effective, it must be
in the sawing gap. For short cuts, a wedge does
not work to prevent kickbacks.
e.) Never run the saw with a bent wedge. Even the
smallest defect can slow down the closing of the
protective cover.
Instructions for all saws
Do not use a sanding belt.
Make sure that the wedge is adjusted so that the
distance to the sprocket ring of the saw blade is not
more than 5 mm and that the sprocket ring does not
stick out more than 5 mm above the lower edge of the
wedge.
Make sure that the dust catching mechanism is cor-
rectly installed, as is described in this manual.
Wear breathing protection.
Only those saw blades recommended in the manual
should be used.
Always wear ear protection.
Replace the saw blades as described in this manual.
The maximum cut depth is 55 mm.
If the electrical cable of this tool is damaged it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or the customer service
department or a similarly qualified specialist in order
to avoid dangers.
Further special safety instructions for circular
saws
a.) Only use the recommended saw blades which
correspond to EN 847-1.
b.) Do not use sanding belts.
c.) Only use the manufacturer's original saw blades
with the number Ø 160 mm, 5500/min, 160 x 20
x 2.0.
Do not use any saw blades which do not correspond
to the characteristics described in these operating in-
structions. Saw blades may not be brought to a stop
by pressure on the machine from the side.
Make sure that the saw blade is tightly assembled and
turns in the correct direction.
Special Safety Instructions
Safety instructions for circular saws
- Hold the equipment on the insulated handles, when
you undertake work in which the tool being used could
come into contact with hidden electrical wires, or its
own cable. Contact with a live power source can elec-
trify the metal parts of the tool and lead to an electrical
shock.
