Safety instructions for the saw
− For your own safety, only operate the saw after you have read the safety
instructions.
−
Hold the saw by the insulated gripping surfaces, when performing
an operation where the fitted tool may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting
accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
− Only use sharp saw blades in proper condition. Immediately replace any
cracked, bent or dull saw blades.
− Adapt fitted tools and the stroke rate to the material. Ensure an even feed
motion.
− Make sure that the permissible stroke rate of the fitted tool is at least as
high as the maximum number specified on the saw. Accessories that
move faster than permissible may break and be projected.
− Only operate the saw if the saw shoe is mounted. When working, the saw
shoe must always be positioned on the work piece.
− Only run the saw up to the work piece once it has been switched on.
− Never process material containing asbestos. Use a protective mask and
dust extractor for other fibrous material.
− Do not slow down the saw blade by applying side pressure.
− Use clamping devices to secure the work piece and prevent slippage.
− Always run the cable backwards away from where you are working.
− During operation, always guide the saw with both hands and assume a
stable posture.
− Do not expose the saw to moisture. It must not get damp and must not be
operated in a damp environment.
− Prior to every use, please check the saw, the battery, the retaining claw
and the saw blade. Have a specialist workshop repair damages before
you use the saw.
− Wear a protective breathing mask and protective goggles when performing
dusty work. Do not smoke when performing dusty work and avoid open fire.
− Wear protective gloves when handling saw blades and rough materials to
cut injuries.
− Wear ear protection when performing work.
