WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adaptor plugs in any earthed (grounded) power tools. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded
power cord and grounded power supply system.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outside, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may appear to
work. The electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and rate a hazard to the operator.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents may cover moving
parts and should be avoided.
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power
tool with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Loss of balance can cause an injury
in an unexpected situation.
• If devices are provided for connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can
reduce dust related hazards.
• Do not use an unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
• Keep tool handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles cannot
safely control the tool.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Secure the workpiece. Use clamp or other practical way to hold the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

• Do not force the power tool. The tool will perform the job better and safer at the feed rate for
which it is designed. Forcing the tool could possibly damage the tool and may result in personal injury.
• Use the correct power tool for the job. Don’t force the tool or attachment to do a job for
which it is not designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired or replaced by an authorized service center.
• Turn power tool off, and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or battery pack
from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing the accessories, or storing the tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of an accidental start up which may cause personal injury.
• Store idle tool out of reach of children and other inexperienced persons. It is
dangerous in the hand of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools with care. Check for proper alignment and binding of moving parts,
component breaks, and any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. A guard or any other part that
is damaged must be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center to avoid risk of personal
injury.
• Use recommended accessories. Using accessories and attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer or intended for use on this type tool may cause damage to the tool or result in personal injury to
the user. Consult the operator’s manual for recommended accessories.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Feed the workpiece in the correct direction and speed. Feed the workpiece into a
blade, cutter, or abrasive surface against the direction of the cutting tool’s direction of rotation only. Incorrectly
feeding the workpiece in the same direction may cause the workpiece to be thrown out at high speed.
• Never leave the tool running unattended, turn the power off. Do not leave the tool
until it comes to a complete stop.
WARNING: USE OF THIS TOOL CAN GENERATE AND DISBURSE DUST OR
OTHER AIRBORNE PARTICLES, INCLUDING WOOD DUST, CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST
AND ASBESTOS. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate tool in a well-
ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection system wherever
possible. Exposure to the dust may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other
injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the
dust, and avoid prolonged contact with the dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or
eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of harmful material. Always use properly
fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for dust exposure, and
wash exposed areas with soap and water.
SERVICE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
• Service your power tool periodically. When cleaning a tool, be careful not to disassemble any
portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or pinched.

EXTENSION CORDS
Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double insulated tools can
use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the power supply outlet increases, you must
use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop
in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown below to determine the
required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example: a 14-gauge cord
can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total
length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. If you are using one extension cord
for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire
size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to
indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR PLUNGE CIRCULAR SAWS
WARNING: DO NOT LET COMFORT OR FAMILIARITY WITH PRODUCT
(GAINED FROM REPEATED USE) REPLACE STRICT ADHERENCE TO PRODUCT SAFETY
RULES. If you use this tool unsafe or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury!
WARNING: Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where cutting tools may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
“live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator!
• DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting area and blade. Keep your body positioned
to either side of the saw blade, but not in line with the saw blade. KICKBACK could cause the saw to jump
backwards. (See “Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback”) Do not reach underneath the work. The
guard cannot protect you from the blade below the work. Do not attempt to remove cut material when blade
is moving.
CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off. Wait until blade stops before grasping cut material.
• Check the operation and condition of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the
spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due
to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup of debris.
• Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw down
on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is
in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.
• Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. It is important to
support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.

Plunge Circular Saw with Miter Base
Operator’s Manual GPCS535CK
• When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the
accuracy of cut and reduces the chance for blade binding.
• Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond vs. round) of the arbor holes. Blades
that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
• Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts . The blade washers and bolt
were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.
• Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback:
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift
up and out of the work piece 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 rapidly 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 tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures of conditions and can be avoided
by taking proper precautions as given below:
> Maintain a firm grip on the saw and position your body and arm in a way that allows you to resist
KICKBACK forces. KICKBACK forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
> When blade is binding, or when interrupting 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.
> When restarting a saw in the work piece, center the saw blade in the kerf and check that 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.
> Support large panels to minimize 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.
> Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf, causing
excessive friction, blade binding, and KICKBACK.
> Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making cut. If blade
adjustment shifts while cutting, it will cause binding and KICKBACK.
> Use extra caution when making a “Pocket Cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding
blade may cut objects that can cause KICKBACK.
• Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
• When operating the tool from an elevated position , be aware of people or things
beneath you.
• Always hold the tool firmly in your hands before switching the tool “ON”. The
reaction to the torque of the motor as it accelerates to full speed may cause the tool to twist.
• Wear eye and hearing protection. Always use safety glasses with side shields. Unless
otherwise specified, everyday glasses provide only limited impact resistance, they are not safety glasses.
Use only certified safety equipment; eye protection equipment should comply with ANSI z87.1 standards.
Protective hearing equipment should comply with ANSI s3.19 standards.
• Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of personal injury.

INSTALLING RIP GUIDE (FIG 6)
When cutting lumber lengthwise you are usually cutting “with” the
wood’s grain rather then across the grain. Cutting “with” the grain
of wood is called “ripping” or a rip cut. Since rip cuts tend to be
lengthy it can be difficult to accurately follow the guideline the
entire distance of the cut. To assist the operator to obtain a straight
rip cut, a straight edge can be clamped to the work piece or the
supplied rip guide can be used. To install the rip guide on your saw,
perform the following steps.
1. Unplug the tool from the power source.
2. Insert the rip guide through all three slots in the saw base at the
front of the saw, starting with slot in the right side edge of the
base. See figure 6.
3. Slide the guide through the slots until it extends out the left
side of the base.
4. Adjust the rip guide for the desired width of cut and then
securely tighten the thumbscrew (11) in the center slot to hold
the rip guide in position.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury and
damage to the workpiece, extend the rip guide
through all slots in the base.
INSTALLING VACUUM ADAPTOR HOSE (FIG 7)
A vacuum adaptor hose has been supplied with the tool. When used correctly it can help remove dust, chips and
cutting debris away from the cutting area.
1. Connect the small end of the vacuum adaptor to the dust extraction port on the tool.
2. Connect the other end of the vacuum adaptor to the end of a vacuum hose.
MITER BASE ADJUSTMENTS
A miter base is included for making precise mitered cuts.
NOTE: The angle scale shows miter angles from 0° to 60° to
the left, and 0°to 60° to the right. The most common angles for
cutting operation (0°, 15°, 30° and 45°) are marked on the angle
scale.
To Adjust the Cutting Angle (FIG 8, 9)
1. Release the fence locking lever (20) by pulling it up.
2. To set the miter angle, slide the fence (19) along the miter angle
scale.
3. If the desired angle is one of the most common angles for
cutting, set the right edge of the fence align scale mark to the
required degree measurement on the angle scale.
4. If the desired angle is not one of the most common angles for
cutting, set the pointer of the display scale window align scale
mark to the required degree measurement on the angle scale.
5. Push down the fence locking lever to secure the angle.
6. Insert the workpiece and secure in place with the clamp.

applications.
24 teeth TCT Saw Blade (model: GAPCS351) is for cutting wood, plastic and other soft materials.
44 teeth HSS Saw Blade (model: GAPCS354) is for cutting drywall & non-ferrous metals.
Diamond Blade (model: GAPCS353) is for cutting tile, backerboard and cement.
GENERAL CUTTING
WARNING: Before using the tool, check that the retractable protective guard
can be used properly.
WARNING: Always cut in a forward direction. Never draw the tool backwards.
If you are a novice user, practice by cutting thin wood until proficient.
CAUTION: To make sawing easier and safer, be sure to move the tool forward
in a straight line gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result in overheating the motor
and dangerous KICKBACK, possibly causing severe personal injury.
It’s important to understand the correct technique for operating your saw and to learn what the correct and
incorrect ways for handling your saw are.
Equally important to working safely and realizing accurate cuts is correct preparation of the workpiece and work
area prior to making the first cut with the saw.
• Check the specifications to ensure the suitability of the material to be cut.
• Check the blade, make sure it is the correct one for the material to be cut, and it is sharp and not damaged.
• Set the cutting depth. (See “Setting the cutting depth” section)
• Place the material to be cut onto a flat surface such as a workbench, table or floor. Use a piece of scrap
material underneath if:
> You do not wish to damage the work surface.
> The work surface is likely to damage the blade. E.g. a concrete floor.
• Draw a cutting line along the desired path of cut.
• Securely clamp the workpiece so it will not move during the cut.
• Plug the tool into a power source.
• Grasp the tool firmly and rest its metal base plate onto the surface to be cut. Ensure that the rear half of the
base plate overhangs the work surface.
• Move and keep the cord away from the cutting area. Position the cord to prevent it from hanging up on the
workpiece and you from standing or tripping on the cord while cutting.
• Switch on the laser if necessory. Depress the lock off / plunge release button. Switch the tool on and wait a
moment for the blade to run up to full speed. Plunge the blade into the material slowly and gentaly, but firmly.
Then push the tool forward along the line to be cut.
NOTE: Never draw the tool backwards.
• Very little force should be used to feed the tool along the cut. Excess force will cause operator fatigue and
excessive wear to the blade and tool.
• Make sure that the base plate is always held flat on the material being cut. This is particularly important at the
start or finish of a cut or if thin strips are being cut where the base plate is not fully supported.
• Once the cut has been finished, lift the tool from the work surface before switching off. If a lot of dust has
been created, keep switched on for a few seconds extra to allow the dust to clear from within the tool.

English
POCKET CUTS (FIG 14)
A pocket cut is a cut that must be made inside the area of the workpiece rather than starting from an outside
edge and working inward.
NOTE: Plunge cutting may not be possible in some hard
materials.
• Choose a correct saw blade for the materials to be cut and
change to it. Set the cutting depth (See “Setting the Cutting
Depth” section). Mark the blade start cutting point and finish
cutting point on the metal plate. See FIG 14.
NOTE: The indent line marks on the side of metal plate
indicate the blade start cutting point (6d) and finish cutting point
(6c) when the blade is at its maximum cutting depth.
• Secure the workpiece firmly. Plug the tool into a power source. Place the metal base plate onto the work
surface. Make sure that the front V-shape indication mark on the base plate aligns with the cutting line (See
“Line Following” section). The blade start cutting mark needs to align with the starting line.
• Depress the lock-off / plunger release button. Switch the tool on and wait a moment for the blade to run up to
full speed. Plunge the blade into the material slowly and gently, but firmly. Then push the tool forward along the
line to be cut. (Never draw the tool backwards.)
• Once the finish cutting mark has reached the finish line, lift the tool from the work surface before switching
off. If a lot of dust has been created, keep switched on for a few seconds extra to allow the dust to clear from
within the tool.
• Pocket cutting tips:
I. If the cut is to be covered, for example by a vent cover, the corners can be overlapped to ensure that the
waste material is completely detached.
II. If the cut out is to be seen, do not overlap the corners. In this circumstance, as the cutting blade is circular,
the waste material will not be fully detached. The corners will therefore, require finishing with a knife or a
chisel. If the material is thin and the back surface unimportant, the waste material can just be pushed out.
III. Where there is access to the back surface of the material to be cut, the cut out can be marked out with an
over cutting allowance. The cut is then made from the back surface to ensure perfect corners on the front
surface.
CUTTING PARTICULARLY TOUGH OR ABRASIVE MATERIALS
Learn to use the tool by cutting wood before attempting to cut anything harder. When cutting harder material,
such as metals, more force is required to hold the workpiece and clamping must be required. Never cut materials
that produce toxic dust or fumes such as PTFE or asbestos.
Cutting Sheet Metal:
• Always set the depth adjustment to at least 1/16" deeper than the material thickness to avoid the blade riding
up over the surface. Scrap material is required underneath the work surface.
• Remove burrs and rust as these impede the feed across the material.
• Thick beeswax (furniture polish) applied to the base plate of the tool makes metal cutting easier.
• Only suitable for cutting brass, copper, lead, aluminum or galvanized mild steel.
• Every 2 minutes of metal cutting should be followed by a rest of at least 3 minutes.
Ceramic tile, slate etc:
• Only use the diamond blade specifically designed for this purpose.
• Always use with a suitable vacuum cleaner or dust extractor connected as the dust can be hazardous to the
operator and prevent the guard operating correctly.
Drywall & backerboard:
• The plunge saw is only recommended for making occasional pocket cuts in drywall and always us it with a
suitable vacuum cleaner or dust extractor connected. The dust can prevent the guard operating correctly.
• Conventional tools such as keyhole saws or knives generally give excellent results, though the plunge saw
can be used if a particularly neat, dust free cut is required or if there is a danger of cutting pipes or cables.

Plunge Circular Saw with Miter Base
Operator’s Manual GPCS535CK
CUTTING WITH THE MITER BASE (FIG 15)
A Miter Base is included to make accurate miter cuts.
• Position the miter angle scale and base. Set the desired miter
angle. Adjust the extendable fence to support the workpiece.
Place the miter base on a flat surface.
• Draw a desired cutting line on the workpiece.
• Insert the workpiece in the miter base. The reference edge
needs to be tight against the miter fence.
• Choose the correct saw blade for the material to be cut and
change to it. Set the blade cutting depth (See “Setting the
Cutting Depth” section) to the maximum 1-1/8". Place the
saw on the miter base guide rails.
• Turn on the laser. Adjust the workpiece to make sure the laser aligns with the desired the cutting line. Secure
the workpiece in place with the clamp.
• Depress the lock off / plunge release button. Switch the tool on and wait a moment for the blade to run up to
full speed. Plunge the blade into the material slowly and gently, but firmly. Then push the tool forwards along
the guide rails (Never draw the tool backwards).
• Once the finish line has been reached, keep switched on for a few seconds extra to allow the dust to clear
from within the tool.
CUTTING WITH RIP CUTTING TRACK (OPTIONAL) (FIG 16, 17)
An optional Rip Cutting Track System (GAPCS203) is available (not included) to make long accurate straight rip
cuts. To use the tool with the rip cutting track system, follow the steps below.
IMPORTANT! The workpiece must have a flat surface. Otherwise the cutting process will not be stable
and will lead to poor cutting accuracy.
• Assemble the tracks.
• Stabilize the track on the workpiece.
• Mount the plunge saw in the track by inserting the edge of the
base plate into the slot on the track.
• Align the indicator line on the base plate to the cutting line
marked on workpiece.
• Secure the track by using the G-Clamps provided with the
track system.
• Plug the tool into a power source. Depress the lock off / plunge
release button. Switch the tool on and wait a moment for the
blade to run up to full speed. Next plunge the blade into the
material slowly and gentaly, but firmly. Then push the tool
forward along the track. (Never draw the tool backwards.)
• Once the cut has been finished, lift the tool from the work
surface before switching off.
• The rubber will be cut off during first cutting. This is normal.

CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS
CORDONS RALLONGES
Les outils mis à la terre nécessitent un cordon rallonge à trois fils. Les outils à
double isolation peuvent utiliser des cordons rallonge indifféremment à deux ou trois conducteurs. Plus augmente
la distance depuis la prise d’alimentation, plus le calibre de la rallonge devra être important. L’utilisation de
cordons rallonges avec des fils mal calibrés peut provoquer une importante chute de tension d’entrée, d’où une
perte de puissance et de possibles dommages pour l’outil. Reportez-vous au tableau pour déterminer la taille
minimum requise pour les fils.
Plus le numéro de calibre de fil est faible, plus importante est la capacité en courant du cordon. Par exemple
un calibre 14 peut transporter un courant plus fort qu’un fil de calibre 16. Quand vous utilisez plus d’un cordon
d’extension pour obtenir la longueur totale, assurez-vous que chacun contient au moins le calibre minimum de
fils requis. Si vous utilisez un câble d’extension pour alimenter plus d’un outil, ajoutez les ampérages de leurs
plaques signalétiques et utilisez cette somme pour déterminer le calibre minimum des fils.
Conseils d’utilisation de cordons rallonges
• Si vous utilisez un cordon rallonge à l’extérieur, assurez-vous qu’il est marqué du suffixe « W-A» (W seulement
au Canada), qui indique qu’il convient bien à une utilisation à l’extérieur.
• Assurez-vous que votre cordon rallonge est correctement câblé et en bonne condition électrique. Remplacez
toujours un cordon rallonge endommagé ou faites-le réparer par une personne qualifiée avant de l’utiliser.
• Protégez vos cordons rallonges des angles et objets tranchants, de la chaleur excessive, et des zones humides
ou mouillées.

RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ SPÉCIFIQUES POUR SCIE
CIRCULAIRE PLONGEANTE
AVERTISSEMENT: NE laissez PAS une fausse sécurité s’installer
provoquée per confort et familiarité avec le produit (suite à des utilisations répétées)
remplacer la stricte application des règles de sécurité pour la scie à onglets. Si vous
utilisez cet outil dangereusement et incorrectement, vous pouvez subir de sérieuses
blessures.
AVERTISSEMENT: Maintenez l’outil par les surfaces de prise isolées
quand vous effectuez une opération où l’outil de coupe peut couper des fils
électriques cachés ou son propre cordon. Le contact avec un fil sous tension
peut également mettre sous tension des parties métalliques exposées de l’outil, et
provoquer une commotion électrique pour l’opérateur!
• DANGER! Gardez les mains à l’écart de la zone de coupe et de la lame. Placez
–vous d’un côté ou de l’autre de la lame de la scie, mais pas surtout pas dans l’alignement de la scie. Le
CHOC DE RETOUR pourrait provoquer un recul de la scie. [Voir « Causes des Chocs de Retour et Mesures
Préventives pour l’Utilisateur ]. N’étendez pas les mains sous la pièce devant que celle-ci ne soit découpée.
La protection ne peut pas vous protéger de la lame sous la pièce . N’essayez pas de retirer la matière
découpée quand la lame est en mouvement.
ATTENTION: Les lames continuent de tourner après la mise hors tension de l’outil. Attendez l’arrêt
complet de la lame avant de retirer la matière découpée.
• Vérifi ez le fonctionnement et l’état du ressort de la protection inférieure. Si
la protection et le ressort ne fonctionnent pas correctement, ils doivent être réparés avant toute utilisation de
l’outil. La protection inférieure peut fonctionner de façon lente en raison de pièces endommagées, de dépôts
collants ou de débris qui se sont accumulés.
• Assurez-vous toujours que la protection inférieure couvre la lame avant
de poser la scie sur un établi ou par terre Une lame qui tourne encore et non protégée peut avoir pour
conséquence un mouvement de recul de la scie, et couper tout ce qui se trouve sur son passage. Soyez
conscients du temps qu’il faut pour que la lame s’arrête une fois que vous avez relâché l’interrupteur à
gâchette.
• Ne tenez JAMAIS la pièce devant être coupée dans vos mains ou entre vos
jambes. Il est important que la pièce soit soutenue correctement afin de minimiser l’exposition du corps à
la lame, le pincement de la lame ou la perte de contrôle.
• Quand vous refendez, utilisez toujours un garde parallèle ou un guide de
coupe rectiligne. Cela permet une plus grande précision de coupe et réduit les risques de pincement
de la lame.
• Utilisez toujours les lames avec des trous d’alésage de la dimension et de la
forme adaptées ( angulaires ou ronds). Les lames qui ne correspondent pas aux éléments de fi xation de la
scie fonctionneront de façon erratique provocant ainsi la perte de contrôle de l’outil.
• N’utilisez jamais des rondelles ou des boulons endommagés ou inadéquats .
Les rondelles et les boulons ont été spécialement conçus pour votre scie, afi n de consentir une performance
optimale et de garantir son utilisation en toute sécurité.
• Causes des Chocs de Retour et Mesures préventives pour l’Utilisateur:
Le choc de retour est une réaction soudaine à une lame de scie mal encastrée, coincée ou mal alignée et qui
provoque un soulèvement incontrôlé de la scie et un sursaut de la lame qui sort de la pièce et recule vers
l’utilisateur.
* Quand la lame est coincée ou pincée par le trait de la scie qui se referme sur elle, la lame se bloque et et
la réaction du moteur conduit à un brusque recul de l’outil vers l’utilisateur.
* Si la lame se tord ou est mal alignée pendant la coupe, les dents arrières de la lame peuvent pénétrer
dans la surface supérieure du bois et amener la lame à sortir du trait et à reculer brusquement vers
l’utilisateur.
