workpiece as the saw is restarted.
d) 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.
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 cut. If
blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
g) Use extra caution when making a "plunge cut" into existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
2.4 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SAW
a) Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard
does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open
position. If saw is accidentally dropped, 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.
c) Lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and
"compound cuts." Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as soon as blade enters the
material, the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate
automatically.
d) 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.
-
Use only saw blades recommended by the manufacturer, which conform to EN 847-1, if intended for
wood and analogous materials.
- Use only blade diameter(s) in accordance with the markings.
- Only use blades for wood cutting.
- Avoid overheating the blade tips
- Wear a dust mask.
- Do not use abrasives wheels
2.5 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES AND CHARGER
Batteries
Never attempt to open for any reason.
▪
Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40° C (104° F).
▪
Charge only at ambient temperatures between 4° C and 40° C (39.2° F and 104° F).
▪
Charge only using the charger provided with the tool.
▪
▪
Store your batteries in a cool dry place (5° C-20° C/41° F-68° F). Never store batteries in discharged state.
It is better for Li-ion batteries to discharge and reload them regularly (at least 4 times a year). The
▪
ideal charge for long-term storage of your Li-ion battery is 40% of capacity.
