f) Avoid jamming the cutting disc or excessive contact
pressure. Do not make excessively deep cuts. Overloa
ding the cut-off wheel increases its stress and
susceptibility to jamming or blocking, thus increa
sing the possibility of kickback or grinding wheel
breakage.
g) If the cut-off wheel jams or you interrupt work, switch
off the power tool and hold it steady until the wheel has
come to a standstill. Never try to pull the still running
cutting wheel out of the cut, otherwise a kickback may
occur. Determine and eliminate the cause of jamming.
h) Do not switch the power tool on again as long as it is
in the workpiece. Let the cut-off wheel reach its full
speed fi rst, before you carefully continue the cut.
Otherwise the disc may get caught, out of the
workpiece jump or cause a kickback.
i) Support plates or large workpieces to reduce the risk
of kickback from a jammed cut-off wheel. Large work
pieces can bend under their own weight. The
workpiece must be supported on both sides, and was
both near the cut-off and at the edge.
j) Be especially careful with „pocket cuts" in existing
fl oors or other areas that are not visible. The plunging
cutting disc can be used for Cutting into gas or water
pipes, electrical lines or other objects can cause a
kickback.
2.4 Safety instructions for functionality of the
protective hood
a) Prior to every use, ensure that the protective hood
closes smoothly. Do not use the saw if the protec-
tive hood does not move freely and does not
close immediately. Never permanently clamp or bind
the protective hood, since this will cause the saw blade
to be unprotected. If the saw falls onto the fl oor unin-
tentionally, the protective hood may be bent. Make
sure that the protective hood is able to move freely
and does not touch the saw blade or other parts
in all cutting angles and depths.
b) Check the condition and function of the spring for the
protective hood. Have the saw maintained prior to use
if the protective hood and the spring do not work pro-
perly. Damaged parts, sticky accumulations or crusts
from chips will delay the function of the lower protective
hood.
c) Do not set the saw down on the workbench or the fl oor
without covering the saw blade with the protective co-
ver. A saw blade that is unprotected as it runs down
moves against the cut direction and saws whatever is
in its path. Observe the run-after time of the saw blade.

2.5 Additional safety warnings
Wear safety
► Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility
company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fi re and electric
shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion.
Penetrating a water line causes property damage or
may cause an electric shock.
► When working with the machine, always hold it
fi rmly with both hands and provide for a secure
stance.
The power tool is guided more securely with both
hands.
► Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do
not touch the damaged cable and pull the mains
plug when the cable is damaged while working.
Damaged cables increase the risk of an electric
shock.
