■
When you use the splinter guard , take off the
sliding shoe first.
■
After completing your work, switch the power
tool off and do not pull the saw blade out
of the insert until the tool has stopped entirely.
This prevents kickbacks, and allows you to put
the tool down safely.
■
Only use undamaged saw blades that are
in perfect working order. Bent and blunt saw
blades can break or may cause a kickback.
■
Secure the workpiece. Use clamps/a vice to
hold the workpiece firmly. This is safer than
simply holding it in your hand.
■
Never work on moistened materials or damp
surfaces.
■
Dust may be hazardous!
When working for
extended periods on wood and, in particular,
materials that produce dusts that are hazardous
to health, connect the appliance to an appropri-
ate dust extraction device.
■
Wear a dust mask.
■
Ensure there is sufficient ventilation.
Genuine accessories/auxiliary equip-
ment
■
Only use the accessories and auxiliary
equipment
that are specified in the operat-
ing instructions or that are compatible with
the appliance.
