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 in accordance with Euro-
pean Standard and can, therefore, also be used from
sockets without earth wire.
Safety hints
For your own safety, please refer to the enclosed
safety instructions.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
1. Wear a hard hat (safety helmet), safety glasses
and/or face shield. It is also highly recom-
mended that you wear a dust mask, ear pro-
tectors and thickly padded gloves.
2. Check the blade carefully for cracks or dam-
age before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged blade immediately.
3. Do not attempt to cut workpieces larger than
specified in this manual (especially hollow
pipe). The blade might snap and cause an
injury. (Fig. 1)
4. Hold the tool firmly.
5. Be sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
6. Do not point the tool at anyone in the immedi-
ate vicinity.
7. When making a ‘‘blind’’ cut (you can’t see
behind what is being cut), be sure that hidden
electrical wiring or water pipes are not in the
path of the cut. If wires are present, they must
be disconnected at their power source by a
qualified person or avoided to prevent the
possibility of lethal shock or fire. Always hold
the tool ONLY by the insulated gripping sur-
faces to prevent any electric shock if you
accidentally cut through a ‘‘live’’ wire. Water
pipes in ‘‘blind’’ areas must be drained and
capped before cutting.
8. Be careful not to hit the end of the blade
against something during operation. Damage
to the tool or dangerous blade breakage may
occur. (Fig. 2)
9. Watch out for cut-off portions of the workpiece
being cut. They may fall and injure you or
someone near you.
10. When cutting metals, be cautious of hot flying
chips.
11. Do not touch the blade or the workpiece imme-
diately after operation; they may be extremely
hot and could burn your skin.
12. If you withdraw the blade from the workpiece
during operation, strong reaction will be pro-
duced, causing the blade to snap or causing
you to lose your grip and control of the tool.
Always switch off the tool and wait until the
blade has come to a complete stop before
withdrawing the blade from the workpiece.
