• Ensure the material to be sawn is
secured in place.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool
and do not exert side pressure on the
saw blade. If possible, work with the saw
shoe pressed against the work piece.
This prevents damage to the blade and
stops the tool from jerking and vibrating.
• Avoid overloading.
• Let the blade run freely for a few seconds
before starting the cut.
Prior to operation:
• Make sure your battery pack is (fully) charged.
• Make sure the guards have been mounted
correctly. The saw blade guard must be in closed
position.
• Make sure the saw blade rotates in the direction of
the arrow on the blade.
• Do not use excessively worn saw blades.
