• Check the work area with a metal detector for hidden
wires, gas and/or water pipes.
• Always unplug the machine before carrying out work
on it.
• Always stop the machine by switching it off, not by
unplugging it.
Before each use, inspect the plug and
cable. Should they need replacing, have
this done by an official service centre.
• Always keep the cable out of the machine's working
area.
• Only plug the machine in when it is switched off.
• Always use the machine with the auxiliary handle
attached.
• Hold the machine firmly in both hands and in a stable
position.
• Ensure that the part to be worked on is firmly secured
before beginning any operation.
• When sawing metal, apply oil to the cutting point.
• Always use the correct saw blade for each type of
material.
• Only use sharp saw blades which are in perfect con-
dition. Cracked, bent or jagged saw blades should be
immediately replaced.
• Do not force the saw feed which is adapted to the type
and thickness of the material being worked.
• When sawing, follow the direction of the saw teeth:
force being applied by lateral shifts, will only lead to
breaking the blade.
• Beware of shavings that fly off. Hold the tool that
so that sparks fly away from you or other people and
inflammable materials.
• Do not exert excessive pressure on the base since
this serves as a support and doing so will merely brake
the saw feed.
• If thin sheets are to be cut, we recommend supporting
them on a wooden base to avoid vibration of the sheet
and accidents.
• Ensure that the base plate is totally supported by the
work surface before beginning work.
• The cutting path must be free from any obstacles,
both above and below.
• In no case turn the machine on with the saw blade in
contact with the material, since this places undue strain
on the blade. Insert the saw blade when the machine
has reached the selected speed.
• A protective face mask must be employed in any work
producing harmful dust. Material containing asbestos
must not be worked.
• When working with the machine, always wear safety
goggles and ear protection. Other personal protection
equipment such as dust masks, gloves, helmet and apron
should be worn when necessary, along with non-slip
safety footwear. If in doubt, use safety equipment.
• Never place hands or fingers in front of the saw when
working.
• Make sure the vents are free when working with dust.
If they require cleaning, first unplug the machine, do
not use metal objects and avoid damaging internal parts.
• When the work is finished, the equipment should be
switched off and the saw blade must be allowed to come
to a complete stop before removing it from the cutting
slot and depositing it (danger of kick-back).

4. CONNECTING TO THE ELECTRICAL
SUPPLY AND TURNING ON THE MACHINE
Before using the tool, make sure the mains voltage is
correct: it must be the same as that on the specification
label. Machines with 230 V can also be connected to a
220 V mains supply.
Before plugging the tool in, always check that On/Off
switch A (Fig. 1) is functioning normally and returns to Off
when released.
To turn the machine on, keep button A pressed down
(Fig. 1). For continuous action, lock button B into position
by means of button B (Fig. 1). To turn the machine off,
use button A to unlock button B.
