5 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow all warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
5.1 Work area
- Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
- Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
- Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
5.2 Electrical safety
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
■ Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
- Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
- When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
- If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
5.3 Personal safety
☐ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used whenever conditions require will reduce personal injuries.
☐ Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
5.4 Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
☐ Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or sticking of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to stick and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could lead to a hazardous situation.
5.5 Service
☐ Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLUNGE SAWS
- Make sure that the mains voltage matches the specifications on the type plate.
- Persons with restricted physical, sensory or mental capabilities are not allowed to use the plunge saw unless they are supervised and instructed by a guardian.
- Never leave the powered-on saw unattended and keep them out of reach of children and persons in need of supervision.
- Do not bring your hands in the cutting area and the saw blade.
- Keep in mind that even a worn saw blade is still very sharp. Always grasp the saw blade on the sides. Do not fling the saw blade and do not drop it.
- Never use the plunge saw with grinding wheels.
- Do not grip underneath the workpiece. The protective cover cannot protect you from the saw blade under the workpiece.
- Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. It should be visible less than a full tooth height under the workpiece.
- Do not cut very small workpieces. When cutting round wood, use a device which secures the workpiece from twisting. Never hold the workpiece to be cut in your hand or across your leg. It is important to secure the workpiece properly to minimise the risk of physical contact, jamming of the saw blade or loss of control.
- Hold the saw only by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may come into contact with hidden power lines or its own device cable. Contact with a live wire also exposes the metal parts to tension and leads to an electric shock.
- Use always saw blades in the correct size and with suitable locating bore. Saw blades that do not match the mounting parts of the saw will run unevenly and lead to loss of control.
- Never use a damaged or incorrect outer flange or a damaged clamping screw. The outer flange and the clamping screw have been specially designed for your saw for optimum performance and reliability.
- Start the plunge saw and begin cutting when it reaches the full idling speed.
- Never brake the saw blade using lateral pressure after switching it off.
- Set the saw aside only when the saw blade comes to a standstill.
- Do not expose the saw to high temperatures, humidity and strong shocks. The saw can be damaged as a result.
- Hold the saw firmly with both hands and bring your arms into a position in which you can resist the kickback forces
7 CAUSES AND PREVENTION OF KICKBACK
- A kickback is the sudden reaction as a result of a stuck, jammed or misaligned saw blade which leads to an uncontrolled saw to be lifted and moved from the workpiece out in the direction of the operator.
- A kickback can occur when the saw blade gets stuck or jammed in the saw gap. The saw blade is blocked and the motor force repels the circular saw in the direction of the operator.
- A kickback can occur when the saw blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the saw groove. As a result, the teeth of the back edge of the saw blade can get stuck in the surface of the workpiece, whereby the saw blade is moved out of the saw gap and the saw jumps back in the direction of the operator.
- A kickback is the result of incorrect or faulty use of the saw. It can be prevented by appropriate precautions as described below.
-
Hold the saw firmly with both hands and bring your arms into a position in which you can resist the kickback forces. Always hold the saw baldes on the sides, never bring the blade in line with your body. In a kickback, the saw can jump backwards, but the operator can control the kickback forces if appropriate measures were taken.
-
If the saw blade jams or sawing is interrupted for any reason, release the ON / OFF switch and calmly hold the saw in the material until the saw blade stands completely still. Never attempt to remove the saw from the workpiece or pull it backwards as long as the saw blade is moving or a kickback might occur. Find the cause of the saw blade jam and eliminate them through appropriate measures.
- When you want to restart a saw that is stuck in a workpiece, center the saw blade in the saw gap and check that the saw teeth are not stuck in the workpiece. If the saw blade jams, it can move out from the workpiece or a kickback can happen if the saw is restarted.
- Prop up large panels in order to minimise the risk of a kickback by a jammed saw blade. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Panels must be supported on both sides, both in the vicinity of the saw gap as well as on the edge.
- Do not use dull or damaged saw blades. Saw blades with blunt or misaligned teeth cause increased friction, jamming of the saw blade and kickback by an excessively narrow saw gap.
- Tighten the cutting depth position prior to cutting. If the settings change while cutting, the saw blade can jam and a kickback can occur.
- Be especially careful if you perform a "circular cut" in a hidden area, such as an existing wall. The protruding saw blade can get blocked in hidden objects while cutting and cause a kickback.
- Do not place the saw on the workbench or the floor unless the saw blade is at a standstill. An unprotected, running saw blade moves the saw against the cutting direction and cuts whatever is in its way. Thus note the delay time of the saw.
- For this reason, the saw is not suitable for use in reverse position as fixed equipment.
- Do not operate the saw if it is not working properly or has been damaged. In case of technical problems, do not attempt to repair it on your own. Contact the service or have the saw repaired by a professional.

8.2 Guide rails and clamps (Fig. 1)
The guide rails allow precise and clean straight cuts, miter cuts and fitting. The rails also protect the work piece surface from damages.
Fixing with the clamps ensures solid grip and safe work.
- Place the guide rail on the work piece and fix the guide rail with the clamps. Slide the bar into the groove of the guide rail and tighten the clamp with the lever.
- Place the plunge saw on the guide rail. The base plate has a groove (13), which exactly fits into the guide ridge of the rail.
9 PREPARATION
Before each use check the proper function of all installation fixtures of the plunge saw and only use the plunge saw if everything works properly.
- Attach the work piece in such way that it cannot move or bend during work. Line the work piece respectively.
■ Always hold the plunge saw with both hands at the hand grips (3) and (4).
■ Always guide the plunge saw forward. Never draw the plunge saw back!
- Place the plunge saw with the front part of the base plate (5) on the work piece. Guide the plunge saw only against the work piece during operation.
- With the correct forward speed you prevent overheating of the saw blade, and melting when cutting plastics.
9.1 Mounting the plunge saw on the guide rail

- Press the switch lock (2) and push the motor down. The casing stops in 2.5 mm cutting depth position.
Note: The marking line should be aligned with cutting line A (0 mark).
10.8 Plunge cuts
- For a straight cut first loosen both rotary knobs (8) and swivel the plunge saw to 0° position on the scale. Tighten the rotary knobs again.
■ Turn the selector switch (17) to plunge cut function.
- Set the desired plunge depth. Ensure that the guide rail depth adjustment stopper (10) is up if not using the guide rail.
- Press the switch lock (2) and the ON/OFF switch (1) and push the motor down. Guide the saw forward to cut
Note: To prevent the saw from kicking back during plunge cuts follow these steps:
- Always place the plunge saw with the rear edge of the base plate (5) against a fixed limit stop.
- Hold the plunge saw in both hands and slowly lower the saw blade.
- The cutting width marks (15) show the most foremost and rearmost cutting points of the saw blade (∅ 165 mm) at maximum cutting depth and when using the guide rail.
10.9 Replacing the saw blade
Before any maintenance work always switch off the plunge saw and disconnect from mains power.
- Loosen both rotary knobs (8) and swivel the plunge saw to 0° position before changing the saw blade. Tighten the rotary knobs again.
- Set the selector switch (17) to the change saw blade icon.

- Slide the other connecting rod into the second groove.
- Use the 3 mm Allen key to tighten the stud screws to the limit stop to connect the rails.
13 GUIDE RAIL SPLINTER GUARDS (FIG. 8)
The guide rails come with a splinter guard (black protruding rubber lip). The splinter guard should be cut to size before first use. The splinter guard ensures a tear-free cut, since the wood fibers at the top of the work piece are torn without splinter guard. This is due to the saw blade teeth being directed upward.
After cutting the splinter guard to size it also shows the precise cutting path of the saw blade.
- Mark a cutting line on the work piece and align the guide rail exactly with this cutting line.
- Fix the guide rail with clamps on the work piece.
- Set the selector switch to marked cut function. Set the plunge saw speed to 6.
- Place the plunge saw at the rear end of the guide rail.
- Switch the plunge saw on and push the saw down. Cut the splinter guard continuously over the entire length. The edge of the splinter guard now exactly matches the cutting edge.
14 KICKBACK STOP
The kickback stop is designed to prevent operator injuries due to kickback.
When working with the guide rail the kickback stop (6) automatically clicks into place on the base plate as soon as the base plate is placed on the guide rail. The kickback stop (6) counteracts the movement if you try to guide the plunge saw on the guide rail back or if the saw kicks back, e.g. due to the saw blade jamming.
- Turn the spring-loaded screw of the kickback stop (6) towards 0 to manually unlock. Now the saw can be moved forward and back.
- Release the spring-loaded screw for the kickback stop to click into place on the guide rail again.
After a kickback always check the guide rail for damages and dispose of a damaged guide rail to prevent accidents.
15 PLUNGE CUT WITH GUIDE RAIL
- Hold the plunge saw with both hands at hand grips (3) and (4).
- Switch the plunge saw on and wait until it runs on full speed.
- Push the saw slowly down and guide the saw towards the plunge position.
