enables you to avoid injuries if
the appliance attachment has
heated up after use.
2) SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUC-
TIONS WHEN SAWING
• Keep hands away from
the sawing area. Do not
reach underneath the
workpiece. Always stand
to the side of the saw
when working. Upon con-
tact with the blade there is a
risk of injury.
• Only when the electric
tool is turned on should
the sawing blade be
moved against the work-
piece. There is a risk of kick-
back if the tool insert jams in
the workpiece.
• Make sure that the foot-
plate is securely placed
against the workpiece
during sawing. The saw-
blade can tilt and lead to loss
of control over the power tool.
• After you have finished
work, turn the power
tool off and do not pull
the sawblade out of the
38
cut until it has come to a
standstill. In this way you will
avoid any kickback and can
safely put down the power tool.
• Use only undamaged
sawblades in perfect con-
dition. Bent or blunt blades
can break, adversely affect the
cut or cause kickback.
• Do not brake the saw-
blade after switching the
appliance off by applying
side pressure. The sawblade
may be damaged, break or
cause a kickback.
• Tighten the material
firmly. Do not support the
workpiece by hand or
foot. Do not touch any objects
or the ground with the saw
running. There is a risk of kick-
back.
• Hold the power tool tight-
ly with both hands while
working and ensure a se-
cure footing. The power tool
is guided more securely with
both hands.
• Wait until the power tool
has stopped before plac-
ing it down. The tool insert
can tilt and lead to loss of con-
trol over the power tool.
• Switch the appliance off
immediately if the sawing
blade jams. Spread the saw
