and grease. Never cut into unknown mate
rials and keep the cutting line above and
below the workpiece free from obstacles.
If the saw blade hits an object, kickback can
occur on the power tool.
Keep your hands away from the sawing
–
area. Do not reach under the workpiece.
There is a risk of injury in the event of con
tact with the saw blade.
Keep your working area clean. Material
–
mixtures are particularly dangerous. Light
metal dust may burn or explode.
Improve the blood circulation in your fin
–
gers by relaxing your hands and exercis
ing your fingers in the breaks between
working. Vibrations during long periods of
work can result in blood vessel disorders
and disorders of the nervous system in fin
gers, hands and wrists.
Harmful/poisonous dust may be produced
–
when working (e.g. paint products con
taining lead and some types of wood).
Contact with or inhalation of this dust may
pose a risk for the operating personnel or
persons in the vicinity. Comply with the
safety regulations that apply in your coun
try. Connect the power tool to a suitable
dust extractor.
Do not use power supply units or third-

party battery packs to operate cordless
power tools. Do not use third-party charg
ers to charge the battery packs. The use of
accessories not expressly authorised by the
