Never use the machine with a damaged ca-
ble. 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.
Functional Description
Read all safety warnings and all in-
structions.
Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
While reading the operating instructions, unfold the
graphics page for the machine and leave it open.
Intended Use
The machine is intended for making separating
cuts and cut-outs in wood, plastic, metal, ceram-
ic plates and rubber while resting firmly on the
workpiece. It is suitable for straight and curved
cuts with mitre angles to 45°. The saw blade rec-
ommendations are to be observed.

Noise/Vibration Information
Measured values determined according to
EN 60745.
Typically the A-weighted noise levels of the prod-
uct are: Sound pressure level 83 dB(A); Sound
power level 94 dB(A). Uncertainty K =3 dB.
Wear hearing protection!
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) deter-
mined according to EN 60745:
Cutting wood: Vibration emission value
a
h
=5.5 m/s
2
, uncertainty K=1.5 m/s
2
,
Cutting sheet metal: Vibration emission value
a
h
=5.8 m/s
2
, uncertainty K=1.5 m/s

.
The vibration emission level given in this informa-
tion sheet has been measured in accordance
with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and
may be used to compare one tool with another. It
may be used for a preliminary assessment of ex-
posure.
The declared vibration emission level represents
the main applications of the tool. However if the
tool is used for different applications, with differ-
ent accessories or poorly maintained, the vibra-
tion emission may differ. This may significantly
increase the exposure level over the total work-
ing period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibra-
tion should also take into account the times
when the tool is switched off or when it is run-
ning but not actually doing the job. This may sig-
nificantly reduce the exposure level over the total
working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the
operator from the effects of vibration such as:
maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the
hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
