Personal safety
1.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the tool. Do not use
the tool while you are tired, sick or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication. A mo-
ment of inattention may result in serious personal injury. Children or disabled people are not al-
lowed to use the tool.
2.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye and ear protection. Also dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes and head protection must be used when necessary.
3.
Avoid unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging it in. Do
not needlessly hold your finger on the switch, especially when carrying the tool because this
could cause dangerous situations.
4.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before turning on the tool.
5.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables you to better con-
trol the tool in unexpected situations.
6.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery that could get caught up by moving
parts. Long hair should be tied up.
7.
If the tool can be connected to a dust extraction or collection facilities, ensure that they are
properly connected and used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Use and maintenance
1.
Do not force the tool. Choose correct tool according to work to be done. The tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.
2.
Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on or off. A power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired immediately.
3.
Place the switch to off-position and disconnect the plug from the power source before making
any adjustments, changing accessories or storing the tool. This will prevent the tool from start-
ing accidentally.
4.
Store idle tool out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool or
these instructions to operate it. The tool is very dangerous in the hands of an untrained user.
5.
Maintain the tool with care. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the machine operation and safety. If you notice
any damages in the tool, have it repaired in an authorized service center before use. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
6.
Keep blades sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
7.
Use the tool and accessories in accordance with these instructions taking into account the work-
ing conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the tool for operations different from those
intended is dangerous and strictly forbidden.
Maintenance
1.
Only an authorized service center is allowed to service the tool using only original spare parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the tool is maintained.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Danger

Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade; keep your second hand on front handle
(if both hands are holding the saw, they can not be cut by the blade).

(the guard cannot protect you from the blade below
the workpiece).
-
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece
(less than a full tooth of the blade
teeth should be visible below the workpiece).
