2) Use clamps or another practical
way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the workpiece by hand or against
your body leaves it unstable and may lead
to loss of control .
3) Keep hands away from the sawing
area. Do not reach underneath the
workpiece. Upon contact with the blade
there is a risk of injury .
4) Only when the power tool is turned
on should the sawing blade be
moved against the workpiece. There
is a risk of kickback if the accessory tool jams
in the workpiece .
5) Make sure that the base plate
is securely placed against the
workpiece during sawing. The saw
blade can tilt and lead to loss of control over
the power tool .
6) After you have finished work, turn
the power tool off and do not pull
the saw blade out of the cut until it
has come to a standstill. In this way
you will avoid any kickback and can safely
put down the power tool .
7) Use only undamaged saw blades in
perfect condition. Bent or blunt blades
can break, adversely affect the cut or cause
kickback .
8) Do not brake the saw blade after
switching the product off by
applying side pressure. The saw
blade may be damaged, break or cause a
kickback .

9) Tighten the material firmly. Do not
support the workpiece by hand or
foot. Do not touch any objects or the
ground with the saw running. There
is a risk of kickback .
10) Use suitable detectors in order to
find hidden supply lines or ask the
local utility company. Contact with
electrical cables can lead to electric shock
and fire, contact with a gas pipe can result
in an explosion . Damage to a water pipe
can lead to property damaged and electric
shock .
11) Hold the power tool tightly with
both hands while working and
ensure a secure footing. The power
tool is guided more securely with both hands .
12) Secure the workpiece. A workpiece
that is retained with clamping products or
a vice is held more securely than with your
hand .
13) Wait until the power tool has
stopped before placing it down. The
accessory tool can tilt and lead to loss of
control over the power tool .
14) Do not saw any materials (e .g . lead-based
paints and coatings or materials containing
asbestos) whose dust can be harmful .
