Additional Safety and Working

Instructions

 Keep hands away from the sawing range. Do not reach

under the workpiece. Contact with the saw blade can

lead to injuries.

 Apply the machine to the workpiece only when

switched on. Otherwise there is danger of kickback when

the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.

 Pay attention that the base plate rests securely on the

material while sawing. A jammed saw blade can break or

lead to kickback.

 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 kick-

back and can place down the machine securely.

 Use only undamaged saw blades that are in perfect con-

dition. Bent or dull saw blades can break, negatively influ-

ence the cut, or lead to kickback.

 Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by applying side

pressure after switching off. The saw blade can be dam-

aged, break or cause kickback.

 Use suitable detectors to determine if utility 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 explo-

sion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or

may cause an electric shock.

 Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-

ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.

 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.

 Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains

plug.

 The saw blade should not be longer than required for

the intended cut. Use a narrow saw blade when sawing

tight curves.

 Check the tight seating of the saw blade. A loose saw

blade can fall out and lead to injuries.

 When ejecting the saw blade, hold the machine in such

a manner that no persons or animals can be injured by

the ejected saw blade.

 Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,

some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to

one’s health and cause allergic reactions, lead to res-

piratory infections and/or cancer. Materials containing

asbestos may only be worked by specialists.

– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable

for the material.

– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.

– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.

Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the

materials to be worked.

 Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can

easily ignite.

 Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-

er source must agree with the voltage specified on the

nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with

230 V can also be operated with 220 V.

 To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.

 The contact protector attached to the casing (see fig-

ure 14, page 191) prevents accidental touching of the

saw blade during the working procedure and may not

be removed.

 Before sawing in wood, particle boards, building mate-

rials etc., check for foreign objects, such as nails,

screws, etc. and remove them as required.

 Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft materials, such

as wood, gypsum board, etc. For plunge cuts, use only

short saw blades.

 The splinter guard can prevent fraying of the surface

while sawing wood. Do not use the splinter guard for

mitre cuts.

 Adapt the settings of your power tool to the respective

application. For example, reduce the stroke rate and

orbital action when cutting metal or for tight curved

cuts.

 When working small or thin work pieces, always use a

sturdy support or a saw table (accessory).

 In extreme conditions, always use dust extraction as

far as possible. Blow out ventilation slots frequently

and install a residual current device (RCD). When work-

ing metals, conductive dust can settle in the interior of the

power tool. The total insulation of the power tool can be im-

paired.

 Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a

BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse

(ASTA approved to BS 1362).

If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should

be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an

authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug

should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.

The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible

shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains

socket elsewhere.

Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current

device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or

less.
