KICKBACK CAUSES AND RELATED
WARNINGS
– Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an
uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the
workpiece toward the operator;
– when the blade is pinched or bound tightly
by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls
and the motor reaction drives the unit rap-
idly back toward the operator;
– if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned
in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the
blade can dig into the top surface of the
wood causing the blade to climb out of the
kerf and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper precau-
tions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on
the saw and position your arms to resist
kickback forces. Position your body to
either side of the blade, but not in line
with the blade. Kickback could cause
the saw to jump backwards, but kickback
forces can be controlled by the operator, if
proper precautions are taken.
b) When blade is binding, or when inter-
rupting a cut for any reason, release the
trigger and hold the saw motionless in
the material until the blade comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove
the saw from the work or pull the saw
backward while the blade is in motion or
kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective actions to eliminate the cause of
blade binding.
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece,
centre the saw blade in the kerf and
check that saw teeth are not engaged
into the material. If saw blade is binding,
it may walk up or kickback from the work-
piece as the saw is restarted.

d) 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.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Un-
sharpened or improperly set blades produce
narrow kerf causing excessive friction,
blade binding and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking
levers must be tight and secure before
making cut. If blade adjustment shifts
while cutting, it may cause binding and
kickback.
g) Use extra caution when sawing into
existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding blade may cut objects that can
cause kickback.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLUNGE-CUT
CIRCULAR SAW
GUARD FUNCTION
a) Check guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate the saw if
guard does not move freely and enclose
the blade instantly. Never clamp or tie
the guard so that the blade is exposed. If
saw is accidentally dropped, guard may be
bent. Check to make sure that guard moves
freely and does not touch the blade or any
other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation and condition of the
guard return spring. If the guard and the
spring are not operating properly, they
must be serviced before use. Guard may
operate sluggishly due to damaged parts,
gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c) Assure that the base plate of the saw will
not shift while performing the „plunge
cut" when the blade bevel setting is not
at 90°. Blade shifting sideways will cause
binding and likely kick back.
d) Always observe that the guard is cover-
ing the blade before placing saw down
on bench or floor. An unprotected, coast-
ing blade will cause the saw to walk back-
wards, 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
a) Do not use grinding wheels.
b) Only use saw blades with the diameter that
is marked on the tool (85 mm).
c) Only use a saw blade that is sutable for the
material you are going to saw.
d) Only use saw blades marked with a maxi-
mum permitted speed that is higher than or
equal to the no-load speed of the powertool.
e) Only use saw blades that match the specifi-
cations given in this operating manual and
that are tested and marked in accordance
with EN 847-1.
f) Max. cutting depth: 25 mm.
g) Always wear a dust mask.
h) Always wear hearing protection.
i) Avoid overheating the tips of the saw blade
teeth.
j) Only process material, that is mentioned
in this manual and that is approved for
this tool. Other materials may cause addi-
tional hazards for health and environment.
