Fragments of workpieces or of a broken accessory
may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area
of operation.
k) Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may come into contact with hidden
wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.
l) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.
If you lose control of the power tool, the cord may be
cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled
into the spinning accessory.
m) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory
has come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
n) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
side.
Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could
snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your
body.
o) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents.
The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may
cause electrical hazards.
p) Do not operate the power tool near flammable ma-
terials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
q) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in elec-
trocution or shock.
2.3 Further Safety warnings for cutters
Kickback and related warnings
► Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stal-
ling of the rotating wheel which in turn causes the un-
controlled power tool to be forced in the direction
opposite of the wheel's rotation at the point of the
binding.

a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces.
The operator can control torque reactions or kick back
forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
The accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive
depth of cut.
Over-stressing the wheel increases the loading and
susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the
cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
d) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold
the power tool motionless until the wheel comes
to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the
cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in
motion, otherwise kickback may occur.
Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the
cause of wheel binding.
e) Do not restart the cutting operation in the work
piece. Let the wheel reach full speed and care fully
re-enter the cut.
The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power
tool is restarted in the workpiece.
f) Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into
existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, elec-
trical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
2.4 Safety instructions for all saws
Sawing process
a) ! HAZARD: Do not reach with your hands into the
sawing area or close to the saw blade.
Keep both hands on the grip. If both hands hold the
saw, then they cannot be injured by the saw blade.
b) Hold the electrical tool on the insulated grip surfa
ces while you are working, since the electrical
tool could contact hidden power conductors or its own
connection line. Contact with a voltage conducting line
