Risk of injury! Whenever you replace a
saw blade, always check that it is secure
ly in place. If a screw is loose, the saw blade
may become detached.
10 Working with the electric
power tool
WARNING
Flying tool parts/workpiece parts
Risk of injury
► Wear protective goggles.
► Ensure that no other persons are close to
the machine while it is being used.
► Always clamp workpieces tightly.
► The clamps must be fully laid out.
WARNING
The pendulum guard does not close
Risk of injury
► Stop the sawing process.
► Remove the battery pack, remove offcuts.
In the event of damage, remove the pendu
lum guard.
10.1 Safe working
When working on the machine, observe
all of the safety warnings that are listed
at the start as well as the following rules:
Before starting
Ensure that the star handle [2-6] and the
–
rotary knob [1-14] have been tightened.
CAUTION! Risk of overheating. Before use,
–
make sure that the battery pack is securely
clicked into place
–
Do not work on the power tool if its elec
tronics are defective as this may lead to ex
cessive speeds. You can tell if the electron
ics are defective if there is no smooth start-
up, if it is not possible to regulate the speed
and in the event of generation of smoke or
the smell of burning from the machine.
–
Check that the saw blade is securely in
place.
–
Always secure the workpiece in such a way
that it cannot move during machining.
–
Position the workpiece so that it is stress-
free and level.
During work
–
Correct working position:
– At the front on the side of the operator;
20
– Head-on to the saw;
– Beside the line of cut.
–
During operation, always hold the power
tool tightly by the handle [1-4] in your op
erating hand. Always keep your free hand
outside of the hazardous area.
–
Adapt the infeed speed to prevent the cut
ters on the saw blade from overheating and
prevent plastic materials from melting dur
ing cutting. The harder the material to be
sawn, the lower the feed speed needs to be.
–
Only guide the power tool towards the
workpiece when it is switched on.
Checking that the pendulum guard can move
WARNING! The pendulum guard must always
be able to move freely and close independently.
► Remove the battery pack.
► Take hold of the pendulum guard and, as a
trial run, slide it into the saw unit.
The pendulum guard must be easy to move
and must be almost fully lowered into the
pendulum hood.
Cleaning the area of the saw blade
► Always keep the area around the pendulum
guard clean.
► Clear dust and chippings by blowing out
with compressed air or using a brush.
10.2 Acoustic warning signal
Acoustic warning signals sound and the ma
chine switches off in the following operating
states:
peep ― ―
► Change the battery
► Reduce the machine load
10.3 Clamping the workpiece [10]
WARNING
Risk of injury
► Note the workpiece's properties.
Securely in place – Place the workpieces on the
stop ruler. Do not machine any workpieces that
have not been securely clamped.
Size – Do not machine workpieces that are too
small. In the interests of safety, the cut piece
remaining should be at least 1-3/16" (30 mm)
long. Small workpieces may be pulled back
wards by the saw blade and into the gap be
tween the saw blade and the stop ruler.
