 Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade, seg-
mented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap greater
than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
 Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pres-
sure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and suscep-
tibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the
possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
 When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for
any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the pow-
er tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete
stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from
the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback
may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to elimi-
nate the cause of wheel binding.
 Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.
Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter
the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the
power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
 Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize
the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large work-
pieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must
be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near
the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
 Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into ex-
isting walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel
may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that
can cause kickback.
Wear safety goggles.
 Use clamps or another practical way to secure and sup-
port the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
 Wear hearing protection, safety goggles, dust mask
and gloves. As dust mask, use at least a particle filter-
ing half mask of filter class FFP 2.
Additional safety warnings
 When working stone, use dust extraction. The vacuum
cleaner must be approved for the extraction of stone
dust. Using this equipment reduces dust-related hazards.
 When working with the machine, always hold it firmly
with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The
power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
 Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
 Do not reach into the chip ejector with your hands. They
could be injured by rotating parts.
 Do not work overhead with the power tool. Sufficient
control of the power tool is not ensured in this working
manner.

 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 explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or
may cause an electric shock.
 Do not operate the power tool stationary. It is not de-
signed for operation with a saw table.
 Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw blades. Such saw
blades can easily break.
 Do not saw ferrous metals. Red hot chips can ignite the
dust extraction.
 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.
 Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a
BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse
(ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should
be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an
authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains
socket elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current
device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

Product Description and Specifications

Read all safety warnings and all instruc-
tions. Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.

Intended Use

The power tool is intended for making straight lengthways
and crossways cuts in wood while resting firmly against the
material being sawn. With appropriate saw blades, thin-
walled non-ferrous metals or plastics, such as profiles, can
also be sawn. With appropriate diamond cutting discs, tiles
can be cut without the use of water.
Working ferrous metals is not permitted.
