Safety rules
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cut-
ting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situa-
tion.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
original spare parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
Machine-specific Safety Warnings
Keep hands away from the sawing range. Do not
reach under the workpiece.
Contact with the saw blade can lead to injuries.
Apply the machine to the workpiece only when
switched on.
Otherwise there is danger of kickback when the
cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
Pay attention that the base plate rests securely on
the material while sawing.
A jammed saw blade can break or lead to kick-
back.
When the cut is completed, switch off the machine
and then pull the saw blade out of the cut only af-
ter it has come to a standstill.
In this manner you can avoid kickback and can
place down the machine securely.
Use only sharp, flawless saw blades.
Bent or unsharp saw blades can break or cause
kickback.
Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by applying
side pressure after switching off.
The saw blade can be damaged, break or cause
kickback.
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 fire and
electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes proper-
ty damage or may cause an electric shock.
Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the
operator.
Secure the workpiece.
A workpiece clamped with clamping
devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
Do not work on materials containing
asbestos.
Asbestos is considered carcinogenic!
Take protective measures if there is danger of for-
mation of combustible or explosive dust during op-
eration that can be hazardous to health.
Example: Some dusts can be carcinogenic. Wear
a dust mask and work with a dust/chip extraction
unit, if possible to connect.
Always wait until the machine has come to a com-
plete stop before placing it down.
The tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control
over the power tool.
Tools not in use must be locked away
safely in a dry place out of the reach
of children.
Keep your workplace clean.
Blends of materials are particularly dangerous.
Dust from light alloys can burn or explode.
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.
Residual risk. Although this information sheet
and the operating manuals for our electrical tools
contain extensive instructions on safe working
with electrical tools, every electrical tool involves
