When sawing, the adjustable footplate 2
must always faces against the workpiece.
The saw blade can become wedged and lead
to loss of control over the machine.
When the cut is completed, switch off the
machine and then pull the saw blade out of
the cut only after it has come to a standstill.
In this manner you can avoid kickback and
can place down the machine securely.
Use only sharp, flawless saw blades. Bent or
unsharp saw blades can break or cause kick-
back.
Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by ap-
plying side pressure after switching off. The
saw blade can be damaged, break or cause
kickback.
Clamp material well. Do not support the
workpiece with your hand or foot. Do not
touch objects or the floor with the the saw
running. Danger of kickback.
Use appropriate 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 explosion. Penetrating a water line
causes property damage or may cause an
electric shock.
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 clamping devices or in a vice is held
more secure than by hand.
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of mate-
rials are particularly dangerous. Dust from
light alloys can burn or explode.
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.
Do not open the battery. Danger of short-
circuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g.,
also against continuous sun irradia-
tion and fire. There is danger of explo-
sion.
