and other objects that come into contact
with the rotating blade can be thrown
towards the operator at high speed.
• Remove sawdust and other debris from
the floor. You can slip on it or stumble.
• Always firmly secure the workpiece. It is
safer to secure the workpiece with a
clamp than to hold it with your hand.
Do not saw workpieces that are not firmly
secured. Otherwise your hand will come
too near the rotating saw blade.
• Only use the power tool for the type of
material it is intended for. Otherwise it
can overheat.
• If the blade fastens, switch off the tool and
hold the workpiece firmly until the blade
has stopped rotating. To avoid kickback,
do not attempt to loosen the workpiece
before the blade has stopped. Find out
why the blade has stuck and rectify the
problem before using the tool again.
• Never use blunt, cracked, bent or
damaged blades. Blades with blunt or
skew teeth result in narrow cuts. This
increases the friction, the risk of the blade
getting stuck and the risk of kickback.
• Always use saw blades of the right size
and with the right mounting hole (e.g.
star-shaped or round). Blades that do not
fit properly on the saw quickly lose their
roundness and become difficult to control.
Never use high-speed steel (HSS) blades.
This type of blade breaks easily.
• Do not touch the blade after sawing until
it has cooled. The blade gets very hot
during the sawing.
• Never use the tool without the insert
plate. If the insert plate is defective,
replace it. A fault on the insert plate can
result in an injury from the saw blade.
• Check the power cord at regular intervals.
A damaged cord must be replaced by an
authorised service centre. Replace the
extension cord if it is damaged. This
maintains safety.
• Always store the power tool safely. The
storage space must be dry and lockable so
38
that the tool is not damaged and so no
unauthorised person can access it.
• Do not leave the tool unsupervised until it
has come to a complete stop. Cutting
tools that are still moving can cause
injury.
• Do not use the tool if the power cord is
damaged. Do not touch a damaged cord,
and pull out the plug if the cord is
damaged during the work. Damaged
power cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
BOTTOM BLADE GUARD
• Never use the product without the bottom
blade guard. If the bottom blade guard is
damaged or not working properly, switch
off the product immediately and pull out
the plug. Do not use the product until it
has been repaired. Check at regular
intervals that the bottom guard is working
properly. Clean the bottom guard when
necessary with damp cloth.
REDUCTION OF NOISE AND
VIBRATIONS
• Plan the work so that exposure to heavy
vibrations is spread over a longer period.
• To reduce noise and vibrations when in
use, limit the time the tool is in use, and
use low-power/vibration mode and
suitable safety equipment.
• Take the following precautions to
minimise the risks of exposure to
vibrations and/or noise:
– Only use the tool in accordance with
these instructions.
– Check that the tool is in good
condition.
– Use accessories in good condition,
and which are suitable for the
purpose.
– Keep a firm grip on the handles/
grips.
