If you disconnect a battery from the power tool for
transport or storage, make sure that the battery con-
tacts are not short-circuited. Remove loose metal
items such as screws, nails, clamps, loose screw-
driving bits, wires or metal cuttings and chips from
the toolbox or transport container, or prevent these
items from coming into contact with the battery.
Observe national and international transport regula-
tions when shipping batteries (transportation by road,
rail, sea or air).
7. Operation
NOTE
If the blade has jammed, the tool will not restart
by itself after pressure on it has been released. The
switch-on interlock and the on/off button must be
pressed again to restart.
NOTE
The chip collector must always be fitted when the tool
is in use.
CAUTION
Wear protective gloves.
The cutting edges of the
saw blade and cut edges of the workpiece are sharp.
These sharp edges present a risk of injury.
CAUTION
Wear protective glasses and a dust mask.
The
sawing operation swirls up dust and chips into the
air. The dust and chips may be harmful to the eyes
and respiratory system.
CAUTION
Wear ear protectors.
The power tool and the sawing
operation generate noise. Exposure to noise can cause
loss of hearing.
CAUTION
Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to
secure the workpiece.
This will help to prevent vi-
bration.
CAUTION
Do not saw off very narrow strips.
Narrow strips
may be caught by the blade and pulled in, causing
jamming, or may be thrown out, presenting a risk of
injury.
CAUTION
When sawing, take care to ensure that there are no
flammable materials in the vicinity and that no hot
metal cuttings fall onto highly flammable materials.
CAUTION
Do not use coolants or lubricants when sawing.
7.1 Changing the saw blade
CAUTION
Wear protective gloves when changing insert tools.
The tool, the clamping flange and the clamping screw
get hot.
CAUTION
Check that the blade to be fitted complies with the
technical requirements and that it is well sharp-
ened.
A sharp saw blade is an essential requirement
for a perfect cut.
