[. . . ] The use of electrical power tools for purposes other than those intended can lead to dangerous situations. Safety advice relating specifically to this device Ensure that the device is always used in accordance with the advice in these operating instructions and only by persons over 16 years of age. To avoid danger to life from electric shock: ½ Frequently check the condition of the device, mains lead and plug. A damaged device, mains lead or plug presents a serious danger to life from electric shock. Always have any repairs carried out or replacement parts fitted at the service centre or by an electrical equipment repair specialist. Do not operate the device if it is damp and do not use it in a damp environment. If you use the device outdoors, always connect it through a residual current device (RCD) with a maximum trip current of 30 mA. If using an extension lead, always use one that is approved for outdoor use. Note: Always keep the mains lead away from the working area of the machine and lead away the mains lead from the rear. To avoid the risk of injury: a) Keep your hands away from the area around the saw and clear of the saw blade. If you have both hands on the saw they cannot be injured by the saw blade. Boards must be supported on both sides as well as near the saw gap and at the edges. Saw blades with blunt or misaligned teeth are in effect too wide for the designed saw gap and this gives rise to increased friction, jamming and kickback. F) Make sure that the cutting depth and angle setting fastenings are tightened before sawing starts. If these settings move during sawing, this can lead to the saw blade jamming and kickback. G) Be particularly careful when carrying out a plunge cut in an obscured area, e. Causes of kickback: a) A kickback is a sudden reaction to a saw blade becoming hooked, jammed or misaligned. This causes an out of control circular saw to raise itself and move out of the workpiece and towards the operator. B) If the sawblade becomes hooked or trapped in a narrowing saw gap, it is suddenly prevented General safety advice for electrical power tools From rotating and the force of the motor throws the device back in the direction of the operator. C) If the sawblade distorts or becomes misaligned in the saw cut, the teeth at the rear edge of the sawblade may hook themselves into the workpiece surface causing the sawblade to move out of the saw gap and the circular saw to jump backwards in the direction of the operator. Special safety advice for circular saws and automatic blade guards a) Before you use the saw, always check that the automatic blade guard 7 closes properly. Do not use the saw if the bottom compartment of the blade guard does not move freely or close immediately. [. . . ] Set the cutting depth (by means of the wing screw for cutting depth setting clamp 5 ) to the minimum position, 0 mm. Swing back the retractable blade guard 7 with the help of the retracting lever 7a and put the device down. Press the spindle lock button 4 (until it engages) and release the clamping screw 24 using the Allen key 6 . Now remove the clamping screw with integral washer head 24 and the clamping flange 23 (see Fig. [. . . ]
