d) Support large panels to minimise the risk of
blade pinching and kickback. Large panels
or boards can bend under their own weight.
Panels/boards must be supported on both
sides: i.e. both in the vicinity of the saw cut
and also at the edge.
e) Do not use blunt or damaged saw blades.
Saw blades with blunt or misaligned teeth may
cause excessive friction if the saw cut is too
narrow, and this can cause a saw blade jam
and kickback.
f) Before sawing, ensure that the fastenings for
the cut depth and cut angle settings are tight-
ened. If the settings change while sawing, the
saw blade can jam and cause a kickback.
g) Be particularly careful when sawing in existing
walls or other obscured areas. The inserted saw
blade could get caught on hidden objects and
cause a kickback.
Function of the blade guard
a) Before every use, check to ensure that the
blade guard closes properly. Do not use the
saw if the blade guard does not move freely
and does not close immediately. Never jam or
fasten the blade guard; this would leave the
saw blade unprotected. If the saw accidentally
falls to the floor, the blade guard might bend.
Ensure that the blade guard moves freely and
does not touch the saw blade or other parts at
any cutting angles or depths.
b) Check the condition and function of the spring
for the blade guard. Have the saw serviced
before using it if the blade guard and spring
are not working properly. Damaged parts,
sticky deposits or accumulations of chippings can
cause the lower blade guard to operate slowly.
c) When making a "plunge cut" that is not at
right angles, secure the base plate of the saw
to prevent any lateral movement. Lateral
movement can cause the saw blade to jam,
thus causing a kickback.

d) Do not leave the saw on the work bench or
floor if the blade guard is not fully covering
the saw blade. An unprotected, coasting saw
blade will move the saw in the opposite direc-
tion to the cutting direction and saw anything in
its path. Always take into account that the saw
blade takes some time to stop spinning.
Additional safety instructions for all saws
with a splitting wedge
Function of the splitting wedge
a) Use the appropriate saw blade for the splitting
wedge. For the splitting wedge to work, the
saw blade's main blade must be thinner than
the splitting wedge and the tooth width must be
more than the splitting wedge thickness.
b) Adjust the splitting wedge as described in
these operating instructions. Incorrect spacing,
position and alignment can be the reason why
the splitting wedge does not effectively prevent
a kickback.
c) Always use the splitting wedge, except for
plunge cuts. Refit the splitting wedge after the
plunge cut. The splitting wedge interferes with
plunge cuts and can cause a kickback.
d) The splitting wedge must be positioned in the
sawing gap before it will work. For short cuts,
the splitting wedge is ineffective in preventing
kickback.
e) Do not operate the saw with a bent splitting
wedge. Even a minor fault can slow down the
closing of the blade guard.
