with the operating instructions.
J
Clamp the workpiece tightly in position (with
chucking fixtures or in a vice) or secure it where
it is not held in place by its own weight.
J
Take precautions where working with
the tool may generate harmful,
inflammable or explosive dust. Wear a mask to
protect against dust. If you are working on wood
for any length of time, and particularly if you are
working on materials which can generate harmful
dust, connect the appliance to a suitable external
dust extractor system.

Keep your working area clean. Mixtures of different
materials are particularly dangerous. Dust from
light metal can burn or explode.

Do not work with any material containing asbestos.
Asbestos can cause cancer.
J
Keep both hands out of the sawing area. Never

danger of kick back if the tool gets caught in
the workpiece.

Damage to a water pipe causes damage to
property and can cause electric shocks.
J
Only touch the power tool on the insulated
handle if you are working where the tool can hit
concealed electric power lines or the tool’s own
mains cable during operation. Contact with a live
