Be Particularly Careful When Sawing In Existing Walls Or Other Obscured; Specific Safety Instructions For This Saw - Parkside PTS 710 B2 Bedienungs- Und Sicherheitshinweise

Hold the saw firmly in both hands
a)
and position your arms such that
they can absorb the force of a
kickback. Always stand to the side
of the saw blade and never in line
with it. If a kickback occurs, the circular
saw may jump backwards. However, the
operator can control the kickback forces by
taking appropriate precautions.
If the saw blade jams or you stop
b)
working, switch the saw off and
hold it steadily in the workpiece
until the saw blade has completely
stopped turning. Never attempt to
remove the saw from the workpiece
or pull it backwards while the saw
blade is still moving as this could
lead to a kickback. Investigate and take
corrective actions to eliminate the cause of
the jam.
If you want to restart a saw that
c)
is still in the workpiece, centre the
saw blade in the cut and check to
ensure that the teeth are not caught
anywhere in the workpiece. If the
saw blade catches, it can jump out of the
workpiece or cause a kickback when the
saw is restarted.
Support large panels to minimise
d)
the risk of the blade jamming and
kickback. Large panels tend to bend
under their own weight. Panels must be
supported on both sides, in the vicinity of the
saw cut and also at the edge.
14 GB/IE/NI
Do not use blunt or damaged
e)
saw blades. Saw blades with blunt or
misaligned teeth may cause excessive friction
if the saw cut is too narrow, and this can
cause a saw blade jam and kickback.
Before sawing, ensure that the
f)
fastenings for the cut depth and cut
angle settings are tightened. If the
settings change while sawing, the saw blade
might jam and cause a kickback.
Be particularly careful when sawing
g)
in existing walls or other obscured
areas. The inserted saw blade could get
caught on hidden objects and cause a
kickback.

Function of the blade guard
Before every use, check to ensure
a)
that the blade guard closes
properly. Do not use the saw if the
blade guard does not move freely
and does not close immediately.
Never jam or fasten the blade
guard; this would leave the saw
blade unprotected. If the saw is
accidentally dropped, the blade guard may
be bent. Ensure that the blade guard moves
freely and does not touch the saw blade or
other parts at any cutting angles or depths.
Check the condition and function
b)
of the spring for the blade guard.
Have the saw serviced before using
it if the blade guard and spring are
not working properly. Damaged parts,
sticky deposits or accumulations of chippings
can cause the lower blade guard to operate
slowly.
