f. Before cutting, tighten the cutting
depth and cutting angle adjustments.
If the settings change while cutting, the
saw blade could catch and kick back.
g. Be particularly careful when cutting
into existing walls or other areas
where you do not have a complete
overview. The saw blade cutting into
the material could jam in hidden objects
and kick back.
h. Never position your hand near rotating
fitted tools. The fitted tool may move
over your hand during kickback.
i. Avoid the area in front of and behind
the rotating cutting disc. The kickback
will direct the power tool in the direction
opposite the movement of the grinding
wheel at the point where it jams.
j. Be very cautious when working around
corners, sharp edges etc. Ensure that
the fitted tools do not kick back from
the work piece and catch in it. The
rotating fitted tool is at risk of catching
around corners, sharp edges or in the
event of impacts. This will result in a
loss of control or kickback.
k. Do not use any chain saw blade or
toothed saw blade or a segmented
diamond cutting disc with slot widths
of more than 10 mm. Such fitted tools
often cause kickback or a loss of con-
trol over the power tool.
l. Avoid jamming the cutting disc or
applying to much pressure to it. Do not
perform any excessively deep cuts.
Overloading the cutting disc will
increase the stress on it and make it
susceptible to canting or jamming,
which could cause it to kick back or the
grinding tool to break.
m. Do not switch the power tool back on
while it is still in the work piece. First
allow the cutting disc to reach its full
speed before you carefully continue
cutting with it. Otherwise the disc
could catch, jerk out of the work piece
or cause kickback.
n. Warning! Inhaling or contact with
resulting dust is hazardous for the
operator as well as nearby persons.
Therefore avoid cutting through harm-
ful/toxic materials such as paint coats
containing lead, some types of wood
and metal and use a dust extractor as
well as personal protective equipment
such as a dust mask.
o. Always wear ear protection.
p. Hold the device by the insulated grip-
ping surfaces as the cutting disc could
come into contact with its own mains
cable. Damaging a live line could also
energise metallic parts of the device
and inflict an electric shock.

Safety instructions for saws with a protec-
tive hood
a. Check whether the protective hood
can be properly closed before each
use. Do not use the saw if the protec-
tive hood cannot be moved freely and
does not close immediately. Never
clamp or tie the protective hood in
place as the saw blade would not be
protected as a result. If the saw acci-
dentally falls on the ground, the protec-
tive hood could be bent. Make sure that
the protective hood moves freely and
does not touch either the saw blade or
other parts at all cutting angles and
depths.
b. Check the condition and function of
the spring for the protective hood.
Before use, have maintenance per-
formed on the saw if the protective
hood and spring are not working prop-
erly. Damaged parts, sticky deposits or
any buildup of chips will delay the effec-
tiveness of the bottom protective hood.
c. When "plunge cutting" at angles other
than a right angle, secure the base
plate of the saw to prevent it from
sliding to the side. If it slides to the
side, the saw blade can catch resulting
in kickback.
d. Do not set the saw down on the work
bench or the ground without the pro-
tective hood covering the saw blade. A
saw blade that is not protected and still
