ENGLISH

objects such as radiators, pipes,

cooking stoves, refrigerators when

operating this tool.

• Do not use the power cable for pur-

poses it is not intended for.

Risk of injury by moving parts!

• Do not operate the tool without

installed guards.

• Always keep sufficient distance to

the saw blade. Use suitable feeding

aids, if necessary. Keep sufficient

distance to driven components

when operating the tool.

• Wait for the saw blade to come to a

complete stop before removing cut-

offs, scrap, etc. from the work area.

• Cut only stock of dimensions that

allow for safe and secure holding

while cutting.

• Do not attempt to stop the saw

blade by pushing the workpiece

against its side.

• Ensure the tool is disconnected from

power before servicing.

• Ensure that when switching on (e.g.

after servicing) no tools or loose

parts are left on or in the tool.

• Unplug if the tool is not used.

Cutting hazard, even with the

cutting tool at standstill!

• Wear gloves when changing cutting

tools.

• Store saw blade in such manner that

nobody will get hurt.

Risk of sawhead kickback (the

saw blade is caught in the workpiece

and the sawhead kicked up all of a

sudden)!

• Make sure the saw blade is suitable

for the workpiece material.

• Hold the handle firmly. When the

saw blade enters the workpiece, the

kickback risk is particularly high.

• Cut thin or thin-walled workpieces

only with fine-toothed saw blades.

• Always use sharp saw blades.

Replace blunt saw blades at once.

Increased risk of kickback when a

blunt tooth gets caught by the work-

piece's surface.

• Do not jam workpieces.

• Avoid lateral pressure on the saw

blade when grooving – use a stock

clamp.

• If in doubt, check workpiece for

inclusion of foreign matter (e.g. nails

or screws).

• Never cut several workpieces at the

same time – and also no bundles

containing several individual pieces.

Risk of personal injury if individual

pieces are caught by the saw blade

uncontrolled.

Drawing-in/trapping hazard!

• Ensure that no parts of the body or

clothing can be caught and drawn in

by rotating components (no neck-

ties, no gloves, no loose-fitting

clothes; contain long hair with hair-

net).

• Never attempt to cut any workpieces

which contain

− ropes,

− strings,

− cords,

− cables or

− wires, or to which any of the

above are attached.

Hazard generated by insuffi-

cient personal protection gear!

• Wear hearing protection.

• Wear safety glasses.

• Wear dust mask.

• Wear suitable work clothes.

• Wear non-slip shoes.

Risk of injury by inhaled wood

dust!

• Dust of certain timber species (e.g.

beech, oak, ash) can cause cancer

when inhaled. Work only with a suit-

able dust collector attached to the

saw. The dust collector must comply

with the data stated in the technical

specifications.

• Ensure that as little as possible

wood dust will get into the environ-

ment:

− remove wood dust deposit in the

work area (do not blow away!);

− fix any leakages on the dust col-

lector;

− ensure good ventilation.

Hazard generated by modifica-

tion of the machine or use of parts

not tested and approved by the equip-

ment manufacturer!

• Assemble tool in strict accordance

with these instructions.

• Use only parts approved by the

equipment manufacturer. This

applies especially for:

− saw blades (see "Technical spec-

ifications" for stock nos.);

− safety devices (see "Technical

specifications" for stock nos.).

• Do not change any parts.

Hazard generated by tool

defects!

• Keep tool and accessories in good

repair. Observe the maintenance

instructions.

• Before any use check tool for possi-

ble damage: before operating the

tool all safety devices, protective

guards or slightly damaged parts

need to be checked for proper func-

tion as specified. Check to see that

all moving parts work properly and

do not jam. All parts must be cor-

rectly installed and meet all condi-

tions necessary for the proper oper-

ation of the tool.

• Do not use damaged or warped saw

blades.

• Damaged protection devices or

parts must be repaired or replaced

by a qualified specialist. Have dam-

aged switches replaced by a service

centre. Do not operate tool if the

switch can not be turned ON or

OFF.

• Keep handles free of oil and grease.

Risk of injury by noise!

• Wear hearing protection.

• For reasons of noise protection do

not use warped saw blades. A

warped blade is exiting vibrations to

an especially large extent, which

means noise.

3.3 Symbols on the machine

Danger!

Disregard of the following

warnings can lead to severe personal

injury or material damage.

Read instructions.

Do not reach into the run-

ning saw blade.

Wear safety goggles and

hearing protection.

Do not operate tool in moist

or wet environment.

Do not carry tool at

the handle; the han-

dle is not designed to

bear the weight of the

tool.
