13. Avoid abnormal posture
- Make sure that you have secure footing and al-
ways maintain your balance.
- Avoid awkward hand positions in which a sudden
slip could cause one or both hands to come into
contact with the saw blade.
14. Take care of your tools
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean in order to be
able to work better and more safely.
- Follow the instructions for lubrication and for tool
replacement.
- Check the connection cable of the electric tool
regularly and have it replaced by a recognised
specialist when damaged.
- Check extension cables regularly and replace
them when damaged.
- Keep the handle dry, clean and free of oil and
grease.
15. Pull the plug out of the outlet
- Never remove loose splinters, chips or jammed
wood pieces from the running saw blade.
- During non-use of the electric tool or prior to
maintenance and when replacing tools such as
saw blades, bits, milling heads.
- When the saw blade is blocked due to abnormal
feed force during cutting, turn the machine off
and disconnect it from power supply. Remove the
work piece and ensure that the saw blade runs
free. Turn the machine on and start new cutting
operation with reduced feed force.
16. Do not leave a tool key inserted
- Before switching on, make sure that keys and ad-
justing tools are removed.
17. Avoid inadvertent starting
- Make sure that the switch is switched off when
plugging the plug into an outlet.
18. Use extension cables for outdoors

19. Remain attentive
- Pay attention to what you are doing. Remain sen-
sible when working. Do not use the electric tool
when you are distracted.
20. Check the electric tool for potential damage
- Protective devices and other parts must be care-
fully inspected to ensure that they are fault-free
and function as intended prior to continued use
of the electric tool.
- Check whether the moving parts function fault-
lessly and do not jam or whether parts are dam-
aged. All parts must be correctly mounted and
all conditions must be fulfilled to ensure fault-free
operation of the electric tool.
- The moving protective hood may not be fixed in
the open position.
