a)
Maintain a firm grip 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 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.
c)
When restarting a saw in the workpiece,
centre the saw blade in the kerf so that
the saw teeth are not engaged into the
material. If a saw blade binds, it may walk up or
kickback from the workpiece 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.
Unsharpened 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 the 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 CIRCULAR SAW
WITH INNER PENDULUM
GUARD
Lower guard function
a)
Check the lower guard for proper closing
before each use. Do not operate the saw
if the lower guard does not move freely
and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the
lower guard into the open position. If the
saw is accidentally dropped, the lower guard may
be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting
handle and make sure it moves freely and does not
touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and
depths of cut.
b)
Check the operation 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
build-up of debris.

KUE11 KUE11.9
The lower guard may be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts"
and "compound cuts." Raise the lower guard
by retracting handle and as soon as the blade
enters the material, the lower guard must be
released. For all other sawing, the lower guard
should operate automatically.
Always observe that the lower guard is
covering the blade before placing the 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.
Use only saw blades recommended by the
manufacturer, which conform to EN 847-1, if
intended for wood and analogous materials.
Do not use any abrasive wheels.
Use only blade diameter(s) in accordance with the
markings.
Identify the correct saw blade to be used for the
material to be cut.
Use only saw blades that are marked with a speed
equal or higher than the speed marked on the tool.
Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or
battery pack.
Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not
store battery packs haphazardly in a box or
drawer where they may short-circuit each
other or be short-circuited by conductive
materials. When battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire.
Avoid storage in direct sunlight.
Do not subject battery pack to mechanical
shock.
In the event of battery leaking, do not allow
the liquid to come into contact with the
skin or eyes. If contact has been made,
