c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the
power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in
accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool (tools with
a rating of 230V or 240V can also be connected to a
220V supply)
• Never use the tool when cord is damaged; have it
replaced by a qualified person
• If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do
not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the plug
• Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a
capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps)
PERSONAL SAFETY

16 years
• The noise level when working can exceed 85 dB(A); wear
ear protection
• Wear protective goggles when working with materials
which produce chips
• Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some
wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful
(contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic
reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or
bystanders); wear a dust mask and work with a dust
extraction device when connectable
• Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic (such
as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunction with
additives for wood conditioning; wear a dust mask and
work with a dust extraction device when
connectable
• Follow the dust-related national requirements for the
materials you want to work with

BEFORE USE
• Check the functioning of the tool before each use and, in
case of a defect, have it repaired immediately by a
qualified person; never open the tool yourself
• Remove all obstacles on top of as well as underneath the
cutting path before you start cutting
• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and
other elements in your workpiece; remove them before
you start working
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform (holding
the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control)
DURING USE
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord (cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and

• Always keep the cord away from moving parts of the tool;
direct the cord to the rear, away from the tool
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
• Keep hands away from the saw blade while the tool is in
use
