Safety rules
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cut-
ting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions and
in the manner intended for the particular type
of power tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by
a qualified repair person using only
original spare parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
Machine-specific Safety Warnings
Keep hands away from the sawing range. Do not
reach under the workpiece.
Contact with the saw blade can lead to injuries.
Apply the machine to the workpiece only when
switched on.
Otherwise there is danger of kickback when the
cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
Pay attention that the base plate rests securely
on the material while sawing.
A jammed saw blade can break or lead to kickback.
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
kickback.
Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by applying
side pressure after switching off.
The saw blade can be damaged, break or cause
kickback.
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

explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property
damage or may cause an electric shock.
Hold the power tool only by the insulated grip-
ping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the
operator.
Secure the workpiece.
A workpiece clamped with clamping
devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
Do not work on materials containing
asbestos.
Asbestos is considered carcinogenic!
Take protective measures if there is danger of
formation of combustible or explosive dust
during operation that can be hazardous to
health.
Example: Some dusts can be carcinogenic. Wear
a dust mask and work with a dust/chip extraction
unit, if possible to connect.
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.
Tools not in use must be locked
away safely in a dry place out of
the reach of children.
Keep your workplace clean.
Blends of materials are particularly dangerous.
Dust from light alloys can burn or explode.
Never use the machine with a damaged cable.
Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the
mains plug when the cable is damaged while
working.
Damaged cables increase the risk of an electric
shock.
Residual risk. Although this information sheet
and the operating manuals for our electrical
tools contain extensive instructions on safe
working with electrical tools, every electrical
tool involves certain residual risks that cannot
be completely prevented through safety mecha-
nisms. Therefore, electrical tools must always
be operated with the necessary caution.
