hand saw for cutting tree branches or

logs.

BDanger! Risk of electric

shock!

 Do not expose device to rain. Do not

operate device in damp or wet envi-

ronment.

 Prevent body contact with earthed ob-

jects such as radiators, pipes, cook-

ing stoves, refrigerators when operat-

ing this machine.

 Do not use the power cable for pur-

poses it is not intended for.

 Regularly check the connection line of

the electric tool and have it replaced

by an approved professional if it is

damaged.

 Regularly check the extension lines

and replace them if damaged.

ARisk of injury by moving

parts!

 Do not operate the tool without in-

stalled guards.

 Always keep sufficient distance to the

saw blade. Use suitable feeding aids

if necessary. Keep sufficient distance

to driven components when operating

the machine.

 Wait for the saw blade to come to a

complete stop before removing cut-

outs, waste wood etc. from the work

area.

 Cut only stock of dimensions that al-

low for safe and secure holding while

tting.

 Use the fastening devices or a vice in

order to secure the workpiece. This is

safer than holding it by hand.

 Do not attempt to stop the saw blade

by pushing the workpiece against its

side.

 Before setting, maintaining or repair-

ing the device pull the pl

ug out of the

socket.

 When turning ON the machine (e.g.

after servicing) ensure that no tools or

loose parts are left on or in the ma-

chine.

 Unplug the tool when not in use.

 Unused electric tools should be

stored in a dry, high or locked place

outside the range of children.

ACutting hazard, even with the

cutting tool at standstill!

 Wear gloves when changing cutting

tools.

 Store saw blades in such a manner

that nobody can get hurt.

ARisk of sawhead kickback (the

saw blade is caught in the workpiece

and the sawhead kicked up all of a

sudden)!

 Select a saw blade suitable for the re-

spective material.

 Hold the handle firmly. When the saw

blade enters the work piece, the kick-

back risk is particularly high.

 Cut thin or thin-walled workpieces

only with fine-toothed saw blades.

 Always use sharp saw blades. Re-

place blunt saw blades at once. In-

creased risk of kickback when a blunt

too

th gets caught by the workpiece's

surface.

 Do not jam work pieces.

 Avoid lateral pressure on the saw

blade when grooving – use a stock

clamp.

 If in doubt, check workpiece for inlu-

sion of foreign matter (e.g.

nails or

screws).

 Never cut several workpieces at the

same time – and also no bundles

containing several individual pieces.

Risk of personal injury if individual

pieces are caught by the saw blade

uncontrolled.

cDrawing-in/trapping hazard!

 Wear suitable clothes. Be careful that

no part of your body or your clothing

can be caught and pulled into the de-

vice by rotating components (wear no

neckties, no g

loves, no clothing with

loose-fitting sleeves; contain long hair

with a hairnet).

 Never saw any workpieces connected

with ropes, strings, bands, cables or

wires or containing such materials.

AHazard generated by insuffi-

cient personal protection gear!

 Use a hearing protection in order to

avoid becoming deaf.

 Wear safety goggles.

 Wear dust mask.

 Wear suitable work clothes.

 Wear non-slip shoes.

 Use a breathing mask when doing

work involving dust emission.

 Use gloves when handling saw

blades and rough tools. Carry saw

blades in a container.

ARisk of injury by inhaled wood

dust!

 Some types of wood dust (e.g. oak,

beech and ash) may cause cancer

when inhaled. Work only with a suita-

ble dust extractor attached to the

w. Make sure that it is connected

and used correctly. The dust collector

must comply with the specifications

stated in the Technical Specifications.

 Make sure that as little as possible

wood dust can escape into the envi-

ronment:

– remove wood dust deposit in the

work area (do no

t blow away!);

– fix any leakages on the dust col-

lector;

– ensure good ventilation.

AHazard caused by modifica-

tion of the machine or use of parts

t tested and approved by the man-

ufacturer!

 Strictly follow these instructions when

assembling the device.

 Use of other tools and accessories

can entail danger of personal injury.

Use only parts approved by the man-

ufacturer. This applies especially for:

– saw blades (see 'Available Acces-

sories');

– safety devices (see spare parts

list).

 Do not change any parts.

 Make sure that the speed indicated

on the saw blade is at least as fast as

the speed inicated on the saw.

 Use only distance disks and spindler-

ings suitable for the purpose indicated

by the manufacturer.

AHazard generated by tool de-

fects!

 Keep the machine and accessories in

good repair. Keep the cutting tools

sharp and clean in order to be able to

work better and more securely. Ad-

here to the information regarding lu-

brication and exchange of tools.

 Prior to any use check the machine

for possible damage: before operating

the machine all safety devices, pro-

tective guards or slightly damaged

rts need to be checked for proper

function as specified. Check to see

that all moving parts work properly

and do not jam. Make sure that all

parts and accessories are properly in-

stalled and safely secured to ensure

the safe and

trouble-free operation of

the machine.

 Do not use damaged or warped saw

blades.

 Damaged protective devices or com-

ponents must be repaired or replaced

exp

ertly by an approved workshop

using original spare parts; otherwise

accidents may occur. Do not operate

tool if the switch cannot be turned ON

or OFF.

 Keep handles free of oil and grease.

 Do not use the cable to pull the plug

out of the socket. Protect the cable

against heat, oil and sharp edges.

fRisk of injury by noise!

 Wear hearing protection.

 For reasons of noise protection do not

use warped saw blades. A warped

blade is exiting vibrations to an espe-

cially large extent, e which means

ise.

DLaser radiation hazard!

Laser beams can cause serious eye in-

juries. Never look into the laser outlet.
