handle. All operators must use this hold. Do not
operate a power cutter with only 1 hand.
• Make sure that you stay in a safe position and that
the cutting blade can move freely.
• Stand parallel to the cutting blade. Avoid standing
straight behind. If a kickback occur, the saw will
move in the plane of the cutting blade.
• Do not go away from the product with the motor on.
Before you go away from the product, stop the motor
and make sure that there is no risk of accidental
start.
• Use the adjustment handle of the blade guard to
adjust the rear section of the guard flush with the
work piece. Spatter and sparks from the cut material
are then collected up by the guard and led away
from the operator. The guards for the cutting
equipment must always be installed when the
product is on.
• Do not use the kickback zone of the blade for
Kickback zone on page 16 for
cutting. Refer to
instructions.

• Do not cut above shoulder height.
• Do not cut from a ladder. Use a platform or scaffold if
the cut is above shoulder height. Do not overreach.
• Stay at a comfortable distance from the work piece.
• Make sure that the cutting blade can move freely
when the motor is started.
• Apply the cutting blade carefully with high rotating
speed (full power). Keep full speed until cutting is
complete.
• Let the product do the work. Do not push the cutting
blade.
• Feed the product down in line with the blade.
Pressure from the side can cause damage to the
blade and is very dangerous.
• Move the blade slowly forward and rearward to get a
small contact area between the blade and the
material to be cut. This decreases the temperature of
the blade and is an effective way to cut.
