making the cut. If blade adjustment shifts while
cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
g) Use extra caution when sawing into
existing walls or other blind areas. The
protruding blade may cut objects that can cause
kickback.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR PLUNGE TYPE SAWS
GUARD FUNCTION
a) Check the guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate the saw if the
guard does not move freely and enclose
the blade instantly. Never clamp or tie the
guard so that the blade is exposed. If the
saw is accidentally dropped, the guard may be
bent. Check to make sure that the guard moves
freely and does not touch the blade or any other
part, in all angles and depths of cut.
b) 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. The guard
may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts,
gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c) Assure that the base plate of the saw will
not shift while performing a "plunge cut".
Blade shifting sideways will cause binding and
likely kick back.
d) Always observe that the guard is covering
the blade before placing the 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 the switch is
released.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
RULES FOR YOUR
CIRCULAR SAW
1. Use only saw blades recommended by the
manufacturer, which conform to EN 847-1, if
intended for wood and analogous materials.
2. Do not use any abrasive wheels.
3. Use only blade diameter(s) in accordance with
the markings.
4. Identify the correct saw blade to be used for the
material to be cut.
5. Use only saw blades that are marked with a
speed equal or higher than the speed marked on
the tool.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY
RULES FOR YOUR
CUTTING-OFF MACHINES
a) The guard provided with the tool must be
securely attached to the power tool and
positioned for maximum safety, so the least
amount of wheel is exposed towards the
operator. Position yourself and bystanders
away from the plane of the rotating wheel.
The guard helps to protect operator from broken
wheel fragments and accidental contact with
wheel.
b) Use only bonded reinforced or diamond cut-
off wheels for your power tool. Just because
an accessory can be attached to your power tool,
it does not assure safe operation.
C) The rated speed of the accessory must
be at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool. Accessories
running faster than their rated speed can break
and fly apart.
d) Wheels must be used only for
recommended applications. For example:
do not grind with the side of cut-off
wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for
peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these
wheels may cause them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that
are of correct diameter for your selected
wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel
thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
f) Do not use worn down reinforced wheels
from larger power tools. Wheels intended for
a larger power tool are not suitable for the higher
speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
g) The outside diameter and the thickness of
your accessory must be within the capacity
rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized
accessories cannot be adequately guarded or
controlled.
h) The arbour size of wheels and flanges must
properly fit the spindle of the power tool.
Wheels and flanges with arbour holes that do not
match the mounting hardware of the power tool
will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and
may cause loss of control.
i) Do not use damaged wheels. Before each
use, inspect the wheels for chips and
cracks. If power tool or wheel is dropped,
inspect for damage or install an undamaged
wheel. After inspecting and installing the
wheel, position yourself and bystanders
away from the plane of the rotating wheel
and run the power tool at maximum no load
speed for one minute. Damaged wheels will
normally break apart during this test time.
j) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and shop apron capable
