kickback, they are not within reach of the grinder disc.
Safety information
• Do not reach under the workpiece. The guard does not protect
against the blade when cutting the workpiece.
• Set the cutting depth to match the workpiece thickness. There
shall be at least one full blade tooth visible under the workpiece.
• Never hold the workpiece in your hands or on your lap while
cutting. Secure the workpiece to a stable fixture platform.
• Hold the power tool only by the insulated parts of the grip while
handling.
• Always use a length stop or edge guide when cutting long
workpieces. This will improve the quality of cut and reduce the risk
of jamming the saw blade.
• Always use saw blade wheels with the correct size and shape of
bore.
• Large, flat workpieces like panels need to be supported on a
sufficient surface to minimise the risk of jamming the saw blade
and kickback. Panels tend to bend under their weight. Support the
panel workpiece from below, on both sides of the tool, close to the
cut line and near the panel edges.
• Close and secure the blade depth and bevel angle lock levers
before starting to cut. If the blade adjustment moves during a cut,
the blade can be jammed and kicked back.
• Make sure that the lower guard is securely closed before each use.
Do not use the saw if the guard does not move freely and does not
close immediately. Never clamp or fix the lower guard open in any
way. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the blade may bend. Lift
the lower guard using the retractable handle and ensure that the
guard moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part
at any bevel angle or depth of cut.
• Retract the lower guard by hand only during specific cutting
patterns, like plunge cuts and compound cuts. Raise the lower
guard by pulling back the handle and as soon as the blade cuts into
the workpiece material, release the lower guard. For all other
processing, the lower guard must operate automatically.
• Never use a buzz saw held with the blade upwards. This is very
