withstand the force of the recoil. The body
of the operator must be on one side of the
blade, but not in the plane of the blade. Recoil
can cause the saw to be thrown back, but the
force caused by the recoil can be handled by
the user taking the appropriate safety precau-
tions.
•If the saw blade becomes stuck or if it is nec-
essary to interrupt the cut for any reason, the
switch control must be released, and the saw
held in place in the material until the saw blade
comes to a complete stop. The operator must
never attempt to lift the saw from the cut or
pull it back while the saw blade is in motion; in
such cases, recoil may occur. It is necessary to
look for the causes of the saw blade jamming
and ways to eliminate these causes.
•If the saw disc is lowered in the workpiece,
the saw blade must be centred in the cut so
that the saw teeth are not immersed in the ma-
terial. If the saw blade jams, the saw may be
pushed upwards from the workpiece or recoil
may occur.
•Large sawn timber must be supported to min-
imize the risk of recoil and the saw blade jam-
ming. Large sawn timber tends to sag under
its own weight. There must be pads on both
sides under the board near the cut and near
the edges.
•Blunt or damaged saw blades must not be
used. Unsharpened or incorrectly adjusted
saw blades create a narrow cutting groove
and cause excessive friction, which limits the
rotation of the blade and leads to recoil.
•Before cutting, the levers for adjusting the
depth of the cut and the bevel angle of the
saw blade must be sufficiently and reliably
tightened If the disc position changes during
cutting, the blade may jam and recoil may oc-
cur.
•Extra care must be taken when cutting into ex-
isting walls or other places where you cannot
see. A disc that penetrates the other side of
the material can cut into the object, which can
cause recoil.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAWS WITH
AN EXTERNAL PIVOTING COVER AND SAWS
WITH A TRAILING COVER
Lower protection function
1. Before each use, make sure that the lower
guard is fully closed. Do not operate the saw
unless the lower protection cover moves freely
and engages immediately. The lower protec-
tion cover must never be secured in the open
position, e.g. by clamping or tying. If the saw is
accidentally dropped on the ground, the low-
er guard may bend. The lower protective cov-
er must be opened using the tilting lever and
make sure that it moves freely and does not
touch the saw blade or any other part of the
saw at any opening angle or set depth of cut.
2. The function of the lower guard spring must
be checked. If the protective cover and return
spring does not work properly, these parts
must be repaired before use. The lower guard
may react slowly due to a damaged part, sticky
deposits or dirt.
3. The lower guard may only be opened manu-
ally in special cutting cases, such as "immer-
sion" or "composite" cuts. The protective cov-
er must be opened using the tilting lever and
released as soon as the saw blade penetrates
the material. In all other cutting cases, the low-
er guard should operate automatically.
4. Before placing the saw on a workbench or the
floor, always make sure that the lower guard
covers the saw blade. An unprotected run-
ning-in blade causes the saw to move back-
wards and cut everything in its path. It is im-
portant to note how long it takes to stop the
blade after releasing the switch.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMERSIBLE
SAWS
Protective cover function
1. Before each use, make sure that the protec-
tive cover closes properly. The saw must not
be operated unless the guard moves freely
and immediately covers the saw blade. The
protective cover must never be secured, e.g.
with clamps or tying, in the position where the
saw blade is exposed. If the saw is accidentally
dropped on the ground, the guard may bend.
Make sure that the guard moves freely and
does not touch the blade or any other part of
the saw at any opening angle or set depth of
cut.
2. The function and condition of the protective
cover return spring must be checked. If the
function of the protection cover and its use is
