Safety instructions

Always  properly  fix  the  workpiece  with  a 

clamp.

 Never hold the workpiece with your 

hands or make cuts without the workpiece 

fixed.

When tightening the clamp (clockwise) 

make sure it is on the right position.

 Otherwise the 

workpiece may not be properly fixed.

Never adjust, release or tighten the clamp while the 

tool is functioning.

Keep your hands and body away from the cutting 

zone and from the disc. Don’t try to reach for objects 

around, under or through the saw.

Check  the  blade  protector  after  every  use.  Don’t 

use the tool if the protector doesn’t moove freely or 

doesn’t close instantly. 

Never fix the blade protector in an open position. 

Check that the carter is working as intended. If it’s not 

it must be checked before using the tool.

 The carter 

may malfunction if it has damaged components or due to 

debris accumulation. 

Do not use abrasive discs with this tool. This tool 

is  specifically  designed  to  be  exclusively  used  with 

metal cutting widia discs. 

Always use shrapened discs with the right size. No 

fitting  blades  will  spin  excentrically,  loosing  disc 

control.

Never use clamps or tools that have not been supplied 

by the manufacturer or that are damaged.The included 

accessories have been specially designed for the best 

performance and safety with this chop saw. 

Always check the blade maximum speed and make 

sure it exceeds the maximum tool speed.

Don’t use damaged or blunt discs.

 There may be recoil. 

Be careful to not bend or force the disc. 

The blade may 

be damaged.

Keep the tool on an isolated surface where it can be 

held or fixed avoiding contact with cables or hidden 

objects.

 Cable contact may cause an electrical surge 

through the tool damaging the user. 

Recoil

If the disc is bent or misaligned during the cutting process, 

the teeth may excesively bite the cutting material causing 

the disc to jump or to eject the cutting material at high 

speeds, injuring the user. Recoil is the outcome of tool 

missusage or a wrong working procedure. This can be 

avoided following this guidelines:

Keep the chop saw firmly held and position your arm 

and body in order to be able to resist recoil forces.

Recoil forces can be contained by the user if this guidelines 

are followed. 

When the disc gets stuck or the cut is interrupted , 

release the trigger and hold the chop saw still until 

the disc stops completely

. Never try to remoive the disc 

while it’s still spinning as there may be recoil. Check the 

tool and the circumstances that may have caused the 

situation. 

When restarting a cutting task that was interrupted, 

center the disc in the same cut and check that it 

doesn’t  get  stuck  on  the  cutting  material.

 If the disc 

stops, it may pass over the surface or cause recoil while 

the saw gets restarted.

Propperly fix and hold big workpieces to reduce recoil 

risks. 

Big workpieces tend to fall under their own weight. 

Supports  must  be  placed  under  the  workpiece  on  both 

sides close to the cutting line and the worpiece edges.

Never use damaged discs.

 Damaged discs may cause 

excesive friction, causing recoil.

The disc spindle must be propperly tightened and 

fixed when making cuts. 

If the nut loosens during the 

cut, it may cause recoil and the workpiece ejection at 

great speed. 

Only use suitable metal cutting widia discs.

Propperly  tighten  all  the  fixing  nuts  and  bolts  to 

secure the disc before cutting. 

Propperly fix the workpiece.

 The piece must be firmly 

and tightly fixed to avoid movements.

Allow the disc to completely stop before changing it 

or changing the cutting angle.

Check the disc surface

 as well as both sides and teeth 

to remove ani debris there may be stuck.

Check that de disc

 is not defective or broken before 

starting each cut. Replace broken discs with new ones 

immediately.

Never switch on the tool

 with the workpiece in contact 

with the disc.

Allow the motor to reach its maximum speed before 

starting to cut.
