Safety devices

Retractable blade guard
The retractable blade guard (29) pro-
tects against unintentional contact with
the saw blade and from chips flying
about.
Both segments of the retractable blade
guard must always return automatically
into their starting position: when the saw-
head is lifted up, the sawblade must be
covered all around.
Safety lock
The safety lock (30) prevents the retract-
able blade guard from unintentional
opening.

For cutting the safety lock is pushed to
the side (arrow). Only then can the saw-
head be lowered, opening the retracta-
ble blade guard.
After the cut is made - and the sawhead
is in its upper starting position - the
retractable blade guard is locked again
by the safety lock.
