and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles
and depths of cut.
 Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the
guard and the spring are not operating properly, they
must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a
build-up of debris.
 The lower guard may be retracted manually only for
special cuts such as "plunge cuts and angle cuts". Raise
the lower guard by retracting the handle and as soon as
the blade enters the material, release the lower guard.
For all other sawing operations, the lower guard should op-
erate automatically.
 Always observe that the lower guard is covering the
blade before placing saw down on bench or floor. An un-
protected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk back-
wards, 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 suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
hidden in the work area or call the local utility company
for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or
may cause an electric shock.
 Do not operate the power tool stationary. It is not de-
signed for operation with a saw table.
 Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw blades. Such saw
blades can easily break.
 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 clamp-
ing 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.
 Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a
BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse
(ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should
be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an
authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains
socket elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current
device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or
less.
