Lower guard function
a) Check lower guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard
does not move freely and close instantly. Never
clamp or tie the lower guard into the open po-
sition. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard
may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retrac-
ting handle and make sure it moves freely and does
not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles
and depths of cut.
b) Check the operation of the lower guard spring.
If the guard and the spring are not operating
properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower
guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts,
gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c) Lower guard may be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as „plunge cuts" and
„compound cuts". Raise lower guard by retracting
handle and as soon as blade enters the material, the
lower guard must be released. For all other sawing,
the lower guard should operate automatically.
d) Always observe that the lower guard is cove-
ring the blade before placing saw down on bench
or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause
the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in
its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade
to stop after switch is released.
Additional Safety and Working
Instructions
Use protective equipment. Always wear safety
glasses when working with the machine. The use of
protective clothing is recommended, such as dust
mask, protective gloves, sturdy non-slip footwear
and ear defenders.
The dust produced when using this tool may be
harmful to health. Do not inhale the dust. Use a dust
absorption system and wear a suitable dust protec-
tion mask. Remove deposited dust thoroughly, e.g.
with a vacuum cleaner.
Always keep the connection cable from the working
area of the device. Always guide the cable backwards,
away from the device!
Do not machine any materials that present a danger
to health (e.g. asbestos).
When working in walls ceiling, or floor, take care to
avoid electric cables and gas or waterpipes.
Please turn the device immediately off when the
tool used gets blocked! Do not turn the device on
again when the tool is still blocked. This could cause
bounce back with a high reaction moment. Determi-
ne and remove the cause of the blocking of the tool
used while respecting the safety instructions.
The possible causes may be:
• it is tilted in the workpiece to be machined
• it has pierced through the material to be machined
• the power tool is overloaded
Do not reach into the machine while it is running.
Chips and splinters must not be removed while the
machine is running.
WARNING! Danger of burns
The insertion tool may become hot during use.
• when changing tools
• when setting the device down
Adapt the feed speed to avoid overheating the blade
tips and to avoid melting plastic materials during
cutting.

Mains Connection

Operation is only allowed with a safety
switch against stray current (RCD max. stray
current of 30mA).
Connect only to single-phase AC system voltage as
indicated on the rating plate. It is also possible to
connect to sockets without an earthing contact as
the design conforms to safety class II. Only plug-in
when machine is switched off.
Laser
Do not stare into beam. Do not point laser light at
other persons.
Do not view directly into beam with optical instru-
ments (binocular, telescope).
Do not point laser at reflective surfaces.
Avoid exposure to laser radiation. Laser may emit
