3. Specific safety rules and symbols
3.1 Specific information concerning safety
In addition to the general safety rules, the following points
must be strictly observed at all times.
Hold tools by insulated gripping surfaces when per-
G
forming an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with
a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
"live" and shock the operator.
Connect the tool to an external dust removal system
G
if the material to be cut produces dust hazardous to
health.
Modification of the tool is not permissible.
G
Do not use the tool for cutting tree branches or logs.
G
3.2 Take the necessary precautions to make the
workplace safe
Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.
G
Keep the area above and below the cutting line free of
G
obstacles.
To avoid tripping and falling when working, always lead
G
the supply cord, extension cord and extraction hose
away to the rear.
Concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes pre-
G
sent a serious hazard if damaged while you are work-
ing. Accordingly, check the area in which you are work-
ing beforehand (e.g. using a metal detector). External
metal parts of the tool may become live, for example,
when an electric cable is damaged inadvertently.
3.3 General safety precautions
Use the right electric tool for the job. Do not use the
G
tool for purposes for which it was not intended. Use
the tool only as directed and when it is in faultless
condition.
Take the influences of your surroundings into account.
G
Do not expose the tool to rain or snow and do not use

The safety guard for the saw blade must always be
fitted in order to prevent inadvertent contact with the
saw blade or the moving parts above the saw blade.
Check the condition of the tool's supply cord at reg-
ular intervals. The supply cord should be replaced by
a trained electrical specialist if damage is found. Also
regularly check the condition of extension cords and
replace these if damage is found.
Check the condition of the tool. Do not operate the tool
