For Your Safety
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
securely than by hand.
Take protective measures when dust can
develop during working that is harmful to
one's health, combustible or explosive. Ex-
ample: Some dusts are regarded as carcino-
genic. Work with dust/chip extraction and
wear a dust mask.
Keep your workplace clean. Material mix-
tures are particularly dangerous. Dust of light
metal can be inflammable or explode.
Do not work materials containing asbes-
tos. Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
Always wait until the machine has come to
a complete stop before placing it down. The
tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control
over the power tool.
Do not use a machine with a damaged
mains cable. Do not touch the damaged ca-
ble and pull the mains plug when the cable
is damaged while working. Damaged cables
increase the risk of an electric shock.
Connect machines that are used in the
open via a residual current device (RCD).
Keep your hands away from the sawing
range. Do not reach under the workpiece.
Contact with the saw blade can lead to injuries.
Guide the machine against the workpiece
only when it is switched on. Otherwise there
may be danger of kickback when the tool insert
jams in the workpiece.
Pay attention that the base plate 7 rest se-
curely on the material while sawing. A
jammed saw blade can break or lead to kick-
back.
When the cut is completed, switch off the
machine and then pull the saw blade out of
the cut only after it has come to a standstill.
In this manner you can avoid kickback and can
place down the machine securely.
Use only sharp, flawless saw blades. Bent
or unsharp saw blades can break or cause
kickback.
Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by ap-
plying side pressure after switching off.
The saw blade can be damaged, break or lead
to kickback.
Use suitable detectors to determine if util-
ity lines are hidden in the work area or call
the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and
electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead
to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes
property damage or may cause an electric
shock.
Hold the power tool only by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an op-
eration where the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring or its own power cord. Con-
tact with a "live" wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock
the operator.
