Due to our continuing programme of research and development, the specifications herein are subject to change without notice. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. [. . . ] NEVER place your hand, leg or any part of your body under the tool base or behind the saw, especially when making cross-cuts. If kickback occurs, the saw could easily jump backwards over your hand, leading to serious personal injury. Illustrates the RIGHT way to cut off the end of a board, and Fig. If the workpiece is short or small, clamp it down. Push the saw forward at a speed so that the blade cuts without slowing. 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. Use extra caution when cutting damp wood, pressure treated lumber, or wood containing knots. Adjust speed of cut to maintain smooth advancement of tool without decrease in blade speed. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting. Place the wider portion of the saw base on that part of the workpiece which is solidly supported, not on the section that will fall off when the cut is made. [. . . ] nOTE: · The markings on the side of the blade guard show the absolute front and the absolute rear cutting points of the saw blade (A for diameter 160 mm and B for diameter 165 mm) at the maximum 10 Use of the miter gauge (accessory) allows exact miter cuts with angles and fitting works. CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance. Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. [. . . ]
