en ENGLISH d) 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. e) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback. f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before 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. Lower guard function a) Check the lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if the lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle (24)and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut. b) 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 buildup of debris. c) The lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and "compound cuts".Raise the lower guard by the retracting handle (24) and as soon as the blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically. d) Always observe that the lower 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 switch is released. Do not use abrasive grinding discs. Keep hands away from the rotating tool! Remove chips and similar material only with the machine at a standstill. Wear a suitable dust protection mask. Wear ear protectors. Wear protective goggles. Press the spindle locking button only when the motor is at a standstill. 12 Do not reduce the speed of the saw blade by pressing on the sides. The movable guard must not be clamped in the pulled-back position for sawing. The movable guard must move freely, automatically, easily and exactly back into its end position. Clean the machine regularly. Make sure that the safety appliances, e.g. the movable guard, are in perfect working order. If the saw blade blocks, turn the motor off immediately. Do not try to saw extremely small workpieces. During machining, the workpiece must be firmly supported and secured against moving. The saw blade and shavings may be very hot after sawing. Watch out where wood shavings are flying. Wood shavings are hot and can cause burns, fires, or cutting injuries. Shavings are sharp and may cause injuries. Keep clothing closed so no shavings can get inside. Use only undamaged saw blades. Ensure that no teeth on the blades are broken. Avoid overheating of the saw tooth tips. Use a saw blade that is suitable for the material being sawn. If the machine is defective, remove the battery pack from the machine. Protect battery packs from water and moisture! Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs! Do not expose battery packs to fire! Do not open battery packs! Do not touch or short circuit battery pack contacts! Remove the battery pack from the machine when not in use. Remove the battery pack from the tool before any adjustments, conversions, servicing or cleaning are performed. Make sure that the tool is switched off before fitting the battery pack. A slightly acidic, flammable fluid may leak from defective Li-ion battery packs! If battery fluid leaks out and comes into contact with your skin, rinse immediately with plenty of water. If battery fluid leaks out and comes into contact with your eyes, wash them with clean water and seek medical attention immediately! Transport of li-ion battery packs: The shipping of li-ion battery pack is subject to laws related to the carriage of hazardous goods (UN 3480 and UN 3481).
