environmentally compatible recycling facility. 

ENE006-1 

Intended use

 

The tool is intended for accurate straight and miter 
cutting in wood. With appropriate saw blades, aluminum 
can also be sawed. 

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 
sockets without earth wire. 

ENG905-1 

Noise

 

The typical A-weighted noise level determined according 
to EN61029: 

   

Sound pressure level (L

pA

) : 97 dB (A) 

Sound power level (L

WA

) : 103 dB (A) 

Uncertainty (K) : 3 dB (A)

ENG900-1 

Vibration 

The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined 
according to EN61029: 

     

Vibration emission (a

h

) : 2.5 m/s

2

 or less 

Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s

ENG901-1 

• 

The declared vibration emission value has been 
measured in accordance with the standard test method 
and may be used for comparing one tool with another. 

• 

The declared vibration emission value may also be 
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure. 

 

WARNING: 

• 

The vibration emission during actual use of the power 
tool can differ from the declared emission value 
depending on the ways in which the tool is used. 

• 

Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the 
operator that are based on an estimation of 
exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking 
account of all parts of the operating cycle such as 
the times when the tool is switched off and when it 
is running idle in addition to the trigger time).

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.
