Do  not  dispose  of  electric  equipment 
together with household waste material! 
In  observance  of  European  Directive 
2002/96/EC  on  waste  electric  and 
electronic 

equipment 

and 

its 

implementation  in  accordance  with 
national  law,  electric  equipment  that 
have reached the end of their life must 
be collected separately and returned to 
an environmentally compatible recycling 
facility. 

ENE028-1

The  tool  is  intended  for  performing  lengthways  and 
crossways  straight  cuts  and  mitre  cuts  with  angles  in 
wood while in firm contact with the workpiece. 

ENF002-2 

Power supply

 

The tool should be connected only to a power supply of 
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can 
only be operated on single-phase  AC supply.  They are 
double-insulated and can, therefore, also be used from

GEA005-3 

General Power Tool Safety 
Warnings 

 

WARNING  Read  all  safety  warnings  and  all 

instructions.

  Failure  to  follow  the  warnings  and 

instructions  may  result  in  electric  shock,  fire  and/or 
serious injury. 

Save all warnings and 
instructions for future reference. 

The  term  "power  tool"  in  the  warnings  refers  to  your 
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated 
(cordless) power tool. 

Work area safety 

1. 

Keep work area clean and well lit.

 Cluttered or 

dark areas invite accidents. 

2. 

Do  not  operate  power  tools  in  explosive 
atmospheres,  such  as  in  the  presence  of 
flammable  liquids,  gases  or  dust.

 Power tools 

create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. 

3. 

Keep  children  and  bystanders  away  while 
operating  a  power  tool.

 Distractions can cause 

you to lose control. 

Electrical safety 

4. 

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never 
modify  the  plug  in  any  way.  Do  not  use  any 
adapter  plugs with  earthed  (grounded)  power 
tools.

 Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will 

reduce risk of electric shock. 

5. 

Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded 
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and 
refrigerators.

  There  is  an  increased  risk  of 

electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. 

6. 

Do  not  expose  power  tools  to  rain  or  wet 
conditions.

  Water  entering  a  power  tool  will 

increase the risk of electric shock. 

7. 

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for 
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. 
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or 
moving  parts.

  Damaged  or  entangled  cords 

increase the risk of electric shock.
