Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool •
on.
Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn the tool on •
or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
WARNING
During the use of power tools, some dust containing chemicals
known to cause cancer, may occur. Some of these chemicals are:
lead from lead based paints, crystalline silica from bricks and
cement and other masonry products, arsenic and chromium
from chemically treated lumber and other dangerous products. If
dust is present, your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals, any time you do pulverulent operations,
work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
If the appliance strikes a foreign body, examine the device •
for signs of damage and carry out any necessary repairs before
restarting and continuing to work.
If the appliance starts to vibrate abnormally, turn it off •
and check for the cause immediately. Vibration is generally a
warning of trouble.
Always switch off the appliance and wait until the device •
completely stops whenever you leave the machine, before
carrying out maintenance, before checking, cleaning or working
on the appliance.
It is forbidden to move or modify any of the internal parts •
of the device.
Specific safety rules
Never cut materials containing asbestos because they may •
generate dust dangerous to your health.
To reduce your exposure to harmful chemicals that may be •
content in materials you’re working on: work in a well ventilated
area and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles. Connect a dust extraction device to the tool.
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support •
the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Don’t work on any workpiece that is too small to clamp in place.
Never cut or saw in concealed areas where there may be •
electric gas, or water lines. Use a suitable detector to find such
lines.
Keep the cutting path free of obstacles, both above and •
below.
Be aware of the location and setting of the lock-on button. If •
the switch is locked “ON” during the use, be ready for emergency
situations to switch it “OFF”, by first pulling the on-off switch then
immediately releasing it without pressing the lock-on button.
The base plate must rest securely on its entire surface. •
When working, never move your hand or finger ahead of •
the saw blade.
Tool can chatter or vibrate if blade speed is too slow at •
beginning of cut and possibly kickback.
Always pull out the mains plug before changing the saw •
blade and/or adjusting the base plate.
Use only sharp, flawless saw blades. Replace immediately •
cracked, bent or dull cutting tools.
The saw blade must be locked in its mount absolutely •
securely. Check every time it is securely seated.
When removing the saw blade from the tool avoid contact •
with skin and use proper protective gloves.
After switching off, do not force the saw blade to a stop by •
applying side pressure.
Unpacking
When unpacking, check to make sure that all components are
included. Refer to the drawings on this manual. If any parts are
missing or broken, please call IVT assistance center.
Initial operation
Always use the correct supply voltage: the power supply voltage
