such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators . There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded .
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions . Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock .
d) Do not abuse the cord . Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool . Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts . Damaged or entan-
gled cords increase the risk of electric shock .
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use . Use of a cord suitable for out-
door use reduces the risk of electric shock .
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply .
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock .
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool . Do not use a power tool
while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication . A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury .
b) Use personal protective equipment . Always wear eye pro-
tection . Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appro-
priate conditions will reduce personal injuries .
c) Prevent unintentional starting . Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before connecting to power source and/or bat-
tery pack, picking up or carrying the tool . Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents .
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on . A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal injury .
e) Do not overreach . Keep proper footing and balance at all
times . This enables better control of the power tool in unex-
pected situations .
f) Dress properly . Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery .
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts .
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in mov-
ing parts .
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extrac-
tion and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used . Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards .
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool . Use the correct power tool for
your application . The correct power tool will do the job bet-
ter and safer at the rate for which it was designed .
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on
and off . Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired .
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing power tools . Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally .
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool . Power tools are dan-
gerous in the hands of untrained users .
e) Maintain power tools . Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tool's operation . If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use . Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools .
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean . Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control .
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc . in ac-
cordance with these instructions, 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 situation .
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts . This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained .
4. Special safety instructions
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord . Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock .
• 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 Soleplate (5) rests securely on the
material while sawing . A jammed saw blade can break or
lead to kickback .
• When the cut is completed, switch off the machine and
then pull the saw blade out of the cut only after 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 dam-
aged, break or cause kickback .
• Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hid-
den 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 property damage or may
cause an electric shock .
• Secure the workpiece . A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand .
• Keep your workplace clean . Blends of materials are par-
ticularly dangerous . Dust from light alloys can burn or ex-
plode .
• Always wait until the machine has come to a complete
stop before placing it down . The tool insert can jam and
lead to loss of control over the power tool .
• Never use the machine with a damaged cable . Do not
touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug when
