blade binding.
• When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre
the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw
teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw
blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback
from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
• 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.
• Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpe-
ned or improperly set blades produce narrow
kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding
and kickback.
• 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.
• Use extra caution when sawing into existing
walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade
may cut objects that can cause kickback.
Safety instructions guard
• 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 accidentally dropped, guard
may be bent. Check to make sure that guard
moves freely and does not touch the blade or
any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
• Check the operation and condition of the guard
return spring. If the guard and the spring are
not operating properly, they must be serviced
before use. Guard may operate sluggishly due
to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-
up of debris.
• Assure that the guide plate of the saw will not
shift while performing the 'plunge cut' when
the blade bevel setting is not at 90°. Blade
shifting sideways will cause binding and likely
kick back.
• Always observe that the 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.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
• Do not reach into the chip ejector with your
hands. They could be injured by rotating parts.
• Do not work overhead with the saw. In this
manner you do not have sufficient control over
the power tool.
• Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call the lo-
cal utility company for assistance. Contact with
electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock.
Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Pe-
netrating a water line causes property damage.
• Do not operate the power tool stationary. It is
not designed for operation with a saw table.
• Do not saw ferrous metals. Red hot chips can
ignite the dust extraction.
• When working with the machine, always hold it
firmly with both hands and provide for a secure
stance. The power tool is guided more secure
with both hands.
• Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
• Always wait until the machine has come to
a complete stop before placing it down. The
tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control
over the power tool.
• Plunge saws are intended to cut wood or
wood-like products, they cannot be used with
abrasive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous
material such as bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive
dust causes moving parts such as the lower
guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will
burn the lower guard, the kerf insert and other
plastic parts.
• Use only saw blades that are marked with
a speed equal or higher than the speed marked
on the machine.
• Only use saw blades that match the specifica-
tions given in this operating manual and that
have been tested and marked in accordance
with EN 847-1 (TCT & HSS blade) and EN 13236
(Diamond blade).
