• If operating the machine in a damp environment is unavoidable, use a residual current circuit
breaker. The use of a residual current circuit breaker reduces the risk of electric shock.
• Ensure that the machine is switched off before connecting it to the power supply.
• Only use the machine if the ON/OFF switch is in perfect condition
• Avoid physical contact with earthed parts

Special safety instructions for this machine
• Loose objects can get caught in the saw blade and cause serious injuries!
• Wear suitable protective equipment (protective gloves, dust mask, safety goggles and hearing
protection) when working on and with the machine!
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to jam and are easier to guide
• Keep handles and gripping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles
and gripping surfaces do not allow safe operation and control of the power tool in unforeseen
situations
• Do not reach under the workpiece. The protective cover cannot protect you from the saw
blade under the workpiece
• Never hold the workpiece to be sawn in your hand or over your leg. Secure the workpiece to a
stable support. It is important to secure the workpiece well to minimize the risk of physical
contact, jamming of the saw blade or loss of control
• Always use saw blades of the correct size and with a suitable mounting hole (e.g. diamond-
shaped or round). Saw blades that do not fit the mounting parts of the saw will run out of
round and lead to loss of control
• Hold the saw firmly with both hands and bring your arms into a position in which you can
absorb the kickback forces. Always keep to the side of the saw blade, never bring the saw
blade in line with your body. In the event of a kickback, the circular saw may jump backwards,
but the operator can take suitable precautions to control the kickback forces
• If the saw blade jams or you interrupt the work, switch off the saw and hold it still in the
material until the saw blade has come to a standstill. Never attempt to remove the saw from
the workpiece or pull it backwards while the saw blade is moving, otherwise a kickback may
occur. Determine and rectify the cause of the saw blade jamming
• If you want to restart a saw that is stuck in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the saw gap
and check that the saw teeth are not jammed in the workpiece. If the saw blade is jammed, it
may move out of the workpiece or cause a kickback when the saw is restarted
• Support large panels to reduce the risk of kickback due to a jammed saw blade. Large panels
can bend under their own weight. Boards must be supported on both sides, both near the saw
kerf and at the edge
• Do not use blunt or damaged saw blades. Saw blades with blunt or misaligned teeth cause
increased friction, jamming of the saw blade and kickback due to an excessively narrow
sawing gap
• Be particularly careful when sawing into existing walls or other hidden areas. The plunging
saw blade can jam when sawing into concealed objects and cause kickback
• Tighten the cutting depth and cutting angle settings before sawing. If the settings change
during sawing, the saw blade may jam and kickback may occur
• Only use saw blades that correspond to the dimensions specified in the technical data and for
which the permissible speed is higher than the maximum speed of the machine.
• Before each use, check that the lower guard closes properly. Do not use the saw if the lower
guard does not move freely and does not close immediately. Never clamp or tie the lower
guard in the open position
• Check the function of the spring for the lower guard. Have the saw serviced before use if the
lower guard and spring are not working properly
