bench unless switched off. The saw blade will
keep running briefly after the tool has been
switched off.
When sawing
• When using saw blades specially designed for
cutting wood remove all nails and metal objects
from the workpiece before starting work.
• Wherever possible, use clamps and vices to
fasten the workpiece securely.
• Do not attempt to saw extremely small workpieces.
• Do not bend too far forward. Make sure that
you always stand firmly, particularly on
scaffolding and ladders.
• Always hold the saw with both hands.
• For cutting curves and pockets, use an
adapted saw blade.
Checking and changing the saw blade
• Only use saw blades conforming to the
specifications contained in these operating
instructions.
• Only sharp saw blades in perfect working condition
should be used; cracked or bent saw blades
should be discarded and replaced at once.
• Ensure that the saw blade is securely fixed.

voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate. Also make sure that the voltage of your
charger corresponds to that of your mains.
Your BERNER charger is double
insulated in accordance with EN 60335.
Mains plug replacement (U.K. & Ireland
only)
• Should your mains plug need replacing and
you are competent to do this, proceed as
instructed below. If you are in doubt, contact an
authorized BERNER repair agent or a qualified
electrician.
• Disconnect the plug from the supply.
• Cut off the plug and dispose of it safely; a plug
with bared copper conductors is dangerous if
engaged in a live socket outlet.
• Only fit 13 Amperes BS1363A approved plugs
fitted with the correctly rated fuse (1).
• The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be
marked at the connection points of most good
quality plugs. Attach the wires to their
respective points in the plug (see below).
Brown is for Live (L) (2) and Blue is for Neutral
(N) (4).
• Before replacing the top cover of the mains
plug ensure that the cable restraint (3) is
holding the outer sheath of the cable firmly and
that the two leads are correctly fixed at the
terminal screws.
