the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
▪ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to stick and are easier to control.
▪ Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions
and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from intended could lead to a hazardous situation.
5.5 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.
6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLUNGE SAWS
▪ Make sure that the mains voltage matches the specifications on the type plate.
▪ Persons with restricted physical, sensory or mental capabilities are not allowed to use the
plunge saw unless they are supervised and instructed by a guardian.
▪ Never leave the powered-on saw unattended and keep them out of reach of children and
persons in need of supervision.
▪ Do not bring your hands in the cutting area and the saw blade.
▪ Keep in mind that even a worn saw blade is still very sharp. Always grasp the saw blade
on the sides. Do not fling the saw blade and do not drop it.
▪ Never use the plunge saw with grinding wheels.
▪ Do not grip underneath the workpiece. The protective cover cannot protect you from the
saw blade under the workpiece.
▪ Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. It should be visible less than a
full tooth height under the workpiece.
▪ Do not cut very small workpieces. When cutting round wood, use a device which secures
the workpiece from twisting. Never hold the workpiece to be cut in your hand or across
your leg. It is important to secure the workpiece properly to minimise the risk of physical
contact, jamming of the saw blade or loss of control.
▪ Hold the saw only by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may come into contact with hidden power lines or its own device
cable. Contact with a live wire also exposes the metal parts to tension and leads to an
electric shock.
▪ Use always saw blades in the correct size and with suitable locating bore. Saw blades that
do not match the mounting parts of the saw will run unevenly and lead to loss of control.
▪ Never use a damaged or incorrect outer flange or a damaged clamping screw. The outer
flange and the clamping screw have been specially designed for your saw for optimum
performance and reliability.
▪ Start the plunge saw and begin cutting when it reaches the full idling speed.
▪ Never brake the saw blade using lateral pressure after switching it off.
▪ Set the saw aside only when the saw blade comes to a standstill.
▪ Do not expose the saw to high temperatures, humidity and strong shocks. The saw can be
damaged as a result.
▪ Hold the saw firmly with both hands and bring your arms into a position in which you can
resist the kickback forces.
▪ When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of
cut and recuses chance of blade binding.
▪ Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers of bolt. The blade washers and bolt were
specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.
▪ Check guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if guard does not
move freely and enclose the blade instantly. Never clamp or tie the guard with the blade
exposed. If saw is accidently dropped, guard may be bent. Check to make sure that guard
