[. . . ] Installing the gap rudder It is very important to install this recoil safety device!Leave the motor of the circular saw in the same position (min. cutting depth) as was required for installing the blade. Secure the gap rudder (12) using the socket head bolt (16) and any suitable underlay washer. [. . . ] Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur. 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. 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 making a "plunge cut" into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback. 3 Safety instructions about the functioning of the safety equipment · Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically. Always observe that the lower 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. Use the appropriate riving knife for the blade being used. For the riving knife to work, it must be thicker than the body of the blade but thinner than the tooth set of the blade. Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in preventing kickback. Always use the riving knife except when plunge cutting. Riving knife must be replaced after plunge cutting. Riving knife causes interference during plunge cutting and can create kickback. [. . . ] When the on/off switch is released the power supply is interrupted and the machine comes to a halt. the switchon block automatically blocks the switch thus preventing unintentional activation of the machine. Motor The strong universal motor has the power reserves you need. it is cooled by an extra large fan unit. [. . . ]
