support parts with carbide metal teeth.
Never slow down or stop the saw blades by exer-
ting lateral pressure on them.
Never use carbide metal-tipped saw blades with a
residual height or thickness of less than 1 mm.
WARNING
Never use saw blade types other than those spe-
cified for use. This counterrotating twin blade saw
is fitted with special saw blades. The use of other
saw blades is not safe and may result in serious
accidents.
Always ensure that the saw has reached its full
speed before bringing it into contact with the
material. If the saw is brought into contact with
the material before it has reached its top speed, it
may cause very serious injuries.
Always ensure that both saw blades engage
simultaneously into the workpiece. If the saw
engages in a workpiece on one side, there is a
risk that the saw will suffer unexpected recoil and
cause serious injury.
For angled cuts, do not position the saw at an
angle so that only one blade engages in the work-
piece, but instead position it on the top so that
both blades engage at the same time.
The side areas of the saw blades are not designed
for cutting. When making cross cuts, therefore,
ensure that the weight of the saw is not suppor-
ted on the lower saw blade.
Instead support the saw by raising it slightly and
securing the workpiece in a clamp or vice. This
will prevent unexpected recoil.
When the machine is working it will generate dust
which may be harmful, inflammable or explosive.
Take suitable safety precautions. Wear a dust pro-
tection mask. Ensure that there is good ventilati-
on at the workplace.
RECOIL – CAUSES AND PREVENTION
Incorrect use and/or incorrect working methods
or conditions may cause the saw to recoil. The fol-
lowing action can be taken to prevent recoil.
Always hold the saw with two hands. Adopt a
posture in which your body and your arms can
withstand the recoil force.
In the event that the saw blade becomes stuck
in the workpiece or a cut is interrupted for any
reason whatsoever, release the ON/OFF switch
immediately and leave the saw in the workpi-
18
ece until the saw blade has reached a complete
standstill. Never take the saw out of a workpiece
whilst it is still running. This may cause the saw
to recoil. Identify and rectify the cause of the saw
becoming stuck.
When you reposition the saw on the material, the
saw blade must be placed in the centre of the cut.
Ensure that the saw's teeth do not engage in the
material to the side of the cut. This may cause the
saw to recoil.
When sawing large panels please note that they
will bend slightly under their own weight and
this may cause the saw blade on the saw to block
which can thus result in recoil. Support these
panels using suitable equipment on both sides of
the panel. Place the supports near the line along
which you want to cut and close to the edge of
the panel.
Never use damaged or blunt saw blades. As the
saw blade wears, the kerfs created by this saw
blade will become too narrow which will cause
excessive friction resulting in the saw blade jam-
ming and possibly recoil.
If you wish to cut into existing walls or other
concealed areas, proceed with special care and
caution. Since you cannot know what is behind
the area you are cutting, you must expect recoil
to occur at any time.
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING
COUNTERROTATING TWIN BLADE SAWS
instructions in this document and you must also
follow them. Also make sure that any other users
receive a copy of this document and your own
instructions and that they have read and under-
stood them. Any failure to follow the instructions
may result in electric shocks, fire and very serious
injuries.
Check the cable and the ON/OFF switch on the
tool at regular intervals. Have the cable and/or
switch repaired immediately in a special work-
shop if it / they are damaged. Following this
instruction will reduce the risk of serious injuries,
electric shocks and fires.
Check the saw at regular intervals for signs of
damaged parts and to ensure that it is in perfect
working order. Do not use the saw if it is dama-
ged or malfunctions. Damage and malfunctions
must be repaired / rectified immediately. Check
at regular intervals whether moving parts are
correctly aligned and are not seized. Also check
that no parts are broken and that there are no
