Additional Warnings:
California Prop 65 08_2018
Some dust created by
WARNING
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemicallytreated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
Hazard generated by modification of
the machine or use of parts not tested and
approved by the equipment manufacturer!
 Assemble tool in strict accordance with these
instructions.
 Use only parts approved by the equipment
manufacturer. This applies especially for:
– saw blades (for order numbers, refer to
chapter 11. Accessories).

– Safety devices.

– Cutting laser
– Illumination of cutting line
 Do not change any parts.
 Ensure that the speed indicated on the saw
blade is at least the same as the speed
indicated on the saw.
Hazard generated by tool defects!
 Before every use check tool for possible
damage: before operating the tool all safety
devices, protective guards or slightly damaged
parts need to be checked for proper function as
specified. Check to see that all moving parts
work properly and do not jam. All parts must be
correctly installed and fulfil all conditions
necessary to ensure perfect operation of the
unit.
 Do not used any damaged or contorted saw
blades.
Risk of injury by noise!
 Wear hearing protection.
Danger from blocking workpieces or
workpiece parts!
If blockage occurs:
1. switch machine off,
2. Pull the mains plug or remove the detachable
battery pack,
3. wear gloves,
4. clear the blockage using a suitable tool.
3.2 Special safety instructions for
cordless machines:
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
making any adjustments, changing tools,
maintaining or cleaning.
Protect battery packs from water and
moisture!
Do not expose battery packs to fire!
Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs!
Do not open battery packs!
Do not touch contacts or short-circuit battery
packs!
A slightly acidic, flammable fluid may leak
from defective Li-ion battery packs!
If battery fluid leaks out and comes into
contact with your skin, rinse immediately
with plenty of water. If battery fluid leaks out
and comes into contact with your eyes, wash them
with clean water and seek medical attention
immediately!
Transporting li-ion battery packs: The shipping of
li-ion battery packs is subject to laws relating to the

3.4 Safety devices
Retractable blade guard (18)
The retractable blade guard protects against
unintentional contact with the saw blade and from
chips flying about.
Safety lock (26)
Cordless tools: The machine can only be
switched on when the safety lock is activated.
Mains-powered tools: The retractable blade
guard opens and the saw can be lowered only
when the safety lock is activated.
Parallel guide/ ripping fence (19)
The parallel guide/ ripping fence prevents that the

ripping fence always has to be installed.
The additional profile (31) at the parallel guide/
ripping fence has to be moved for inclined cuts
after loosening the set screw (32).
