ENGLISH
•Keep bystanders, particularly chil- dren, out of the danger zone. Do not permit other persons to touch the tool or power cable while it is run- ning.
•Do not overload tool – use it only within the performance range it was designed for (see "Technical Speci- fications").
BDanger! Risk of electric shock!
•Do not expose tool to rain.
Do not operate tool in damp or wet environment.
Prevent body contact with earthed 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.
ARisk 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 this tool.
•Wait for the saw blade to come to a complete stop before removing cut- offs, scrap, etc. from the work area.
•Cut only work pieces of dimensions that allow for safe and secure hold- ing while cutting.
•Do not attempt to stop the saw blade by pushing the workpiece against its side.
•Ensure tool is disconnected from power supply 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.
ACutting 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.
ARisk 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

•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.
cDrawing-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
•Never attempt to cut any workpieces which contain
−ropes,
−strings,
−cords,
−cables or
−wires, or to which any of the above are attached.
AHazard generated by insuffi- cient personal protection gear!
•Wear ear protection.
•Wear safety glasses.
•Wear dust mask.
•Wear suitable work clothes.
•Wear
ARisk 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 extractor connected to the saw. The dust extractor must com- ply with the data stated in the techni- cal 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 extractor;
−ensure good ventilation.
AHazard generated by modifica- tion of the machine or the use of non-
OEM parts not tested and approved by the 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 Specifications" for stock nos.);
−safety devices (see "Technical Specifications" for stock nos.).
•Do not change any parts.
AHazard 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. Make sure that all parts and accessories are properly installed and safely secured to ensure the safe and
•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 Serv- ice Centre. Do not operate tool if the switch cannot be turned ON or OFF.
•Keep handles free of oil and grease.
ARisk of injury by noise!
•Wear ear 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.
ALaser radiation hazard!
•Laser beams can cause serious eye injuries.
Avoid direct eye contact with the laser beam. Never look into the laser outlet.
