Warning:
If the saw blade or scraper catches during use or is improperly aligned, this may

– Hold the device
fi
rmly and position your arms so that you are able to absorb kickback
forces.
– Always position your body to the side of the device and never in line with it.
– If the saw blade or scraper jam or if you interrupt work, set the On / Off switch to the
0
position and hold the device
fi
rmly until the adapter has come to a stop. Never attempt
to remove the device from the workpiece or pull it back while the adapter is moving.
Determine and rectify the cause of the jam.
– Support large workpieces on both sides: Both in the vicinity of the work area and along
the borders.
