User manual

• The depth of the blade and the levers for locking the adjustment level at an angle must be tight and

checked before starting the cut. If the blade adjustment moves during the cut, it can cause the blade to

bend and kickback to occur.

• Adopt extra precautions during a plunging cut in the existing walls or in other blind areas. The part of the

blade slicking out can cut objects which can cause kickback.

Extra safety instructions valid for all saws with oscillating internal guard

• Always check the lower guard is closed properly before use. Do not operate the saw if the lower guard

open position. If the saw falls accidentally, the lower guard can bend. Lift it with the retraction handle

and ensure that it moves freely and doesn't touch the blade or any other part, with any angle and for

any cutting depth.

• Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard or the spring are not working correctly, they

• The lower guard should only be retracted manually for special cuts, such as plunging cuts or cuts on a

slope. Lift the guard by retracting the handle and, as soon as the blade enters the material, the guard

must be released. For all other saws, the lower guard must operate automatically.
