 Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one's health and cause allergic reactions, lead to res-
piratory infections and/or cancer. Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
 Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can
easily ignite.
 Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er source must agree with the voltage specified on the
nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
 To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.
 The contact protector attached to the casing (see fig-
ure 12, page 148) prevents accidental touching of the
saw blade during the working procedure and may not
be removed.
 Before sawing in wood, particle boards, building mate-
rials etc., check for foreign objects, such as nails,
screws, etc. and remove them as required.
 Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft materials, such
as wood, gypsum board, etc.
 The splinter guard can prevent fraying of the surface
while sawing wood.
 Adapt the settings of your power tool to the respective
application. For example, reduce the stroke rate and or-
bital action when cutting metal or for tight curved cuts.
 In extreme conditions, always use dust extraction as
far as possible. Blow out ventilation slots frequently
and install a portable residual current device (PRCD).
When working metals, conductive dust can settle in the in-
terior of the power tool. The total insulation of the power
tool can be impaired.
 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.
