Warning! Safety instructions for all saws Cutting procedures

from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands are hold- ing the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade. b. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece. c. Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece.5 ENGLISH (Original instructions) d. Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control. e. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock. f. When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding. g. Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control. h. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation. u When cutting pipe or conduit, make sure that they are free from water, electrical wiring, etc. u Do not touch the workpiece or the blade immediately after operating the tool. They can become very hot. u Be aware of hidden hazards, before cutting into walls, oors or ceilings, check for the location of wiring and pipes. u The blade will continue to move after releasing the switch. Always switch the tool off and wait for the saw blade to come to a complete standstill before putting the tool down.

Warning! Contact with, or inhalation of dusts arising from cutting applica- tions may endanger the health of the operator and possible bystanders. Wear a dust mask specically designed for protection against dust and fumes and ensure that persons within or entering the work area are also protected. u Always wear hearing protection when working with powered saws6 ENGLISH (Original instructions) Further safety instructions for all saws Kickback causes and related warnings u kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator; u when the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator; u if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood caus- ing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator. Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incor- rect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below. a. Maintain a rm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. b. When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding. c. 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. 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 cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.7 ENGLISH (Original instructions) g. Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback. Safety instructions for circular saws with outer or inner pendulum guards and with tow guard Guard function a. Check guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if guarddoes not move freely and enclose the blade instantly. Never clamp or tie the guard so that the blade is 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. b. 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. c. Assure that the base 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. d. Always observe that the guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on bench or oor. 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. Saw blades u Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than recommended. For the proper blade rating refer to the technical data. Use only the blades specied in this manual, complying with EN 847-1. u Never use abrasive wheels. Features (g. A) Tool shown is MT143.

Sawing Note: Ensure the forward reverse slider (2) is not in the locked position. u To switch the tool on, lift the lock off button (11) then press the variable speed switch (1). The tool speed depends on how far you press the switch. u Release the lock off button. u To switch the tool off, release the variable speed switch.9 ENGLISH (Original instructions) Note: Take care not to allow the blade tips to overheat. Warning! When cutting plastic, it is very important not to let the blade tips to become hot. Hot blade tips can cause the plastic to melt. Dust extraction The dust extraction outlet is used to connect a vacuum cleaner or dust extractor to the tool. Dust extraction must be used when cutting wood u Connect a vacuum cleaner hose by sliding it into the dust extraction outlet. Hints for optimum use Sawing u Always use the appropriate type of saw blade for the workpiece material and type of cut. u Always hold the tool with both hands. u Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting the cut. u Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing the cut. u Work with the shoe pressed against the work- piece. u As some splintering along the line of cut on the top side of the workpiece cannot be avoided, cut on the side where splintering is acceptable. u Where splintering is to be minimised, e.g. when cutting laminates, clamp a piece of plywood onto the top of the workpiece. u Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. u Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel being cut. u Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. u Secure the workpiece to a stable platform us- ing clamps. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control. Accessories The performance of your tool depends on the accessory used.
