Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flam- mable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical safety
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.
Avoid body contact with earthed or ground- ed surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
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.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power

Initial operation
Fitting/changing the saw blade
Always remove the plug from the power socket before working on the appliance.

source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel- lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can- not be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cut- ting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak- ing into
account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replace- ment parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Hold the electric tool by the insulated handles when you are carrying out work during which the
electric tool may come into contact with concealed power cables or its own power cable. Contact
with a live cable may also cause metal parts of the appli- ance to become live and lead to electric
shock.
Keep your hands away from the sawing area . Do not reach underneath the workpiece . Contact with
the saw blade may result in injury.
Keep your hands away from the stroke rod and the quick-release chuck. Contact with these compo-
nents may result in a crushing injury.
Always switch on the electrical power tool before applying it to the workpiece . Otherwise, there is a
risk of a kickback.
When sawing, ensure that the baseplate
⑧
is in contact with the workpiece.
After completing your work, switch the electric tool off and do not pull the saw blade out of the
cut until the tool has come to a standstill . This avoids 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 cause a kickback.

Switching on/off
Switching the appliance on:
Slide the ON/OFF switch forward to the position “I” .
Switching the appliance off:
Slide the ON/OFF switch backward to the position “0” .
Switching the laser/working light on/off
On/off switch:
Press the ON/OFF switch until the required function is active .
LASER and WORKING LIGHT → WORKING LIGHT → LASER → SWITCH OFF
Do not try and slow the saw blade down after switching off by applying lateral pressure . This may
damage the saw blade or cause a kickback .
Immobilise the workpiece securely . Use clamps/ vices to hold the workpiece firmly . This is much
safer than simply holding it in your hand.
Always run the power cord away from the appliance to the rear.
Never work on moistened materials or wet surfaces.
Hazards caused by dust! 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 appliance.
Wear a dust mask.
Ensure there is sufficient ventilation.
Never look directly into the laser beam or into the opening from which it emerges .
Never aim the laser beam at reflective surfaces, people or animals . Even brief visual contact with a
laser beam can result in eye injuries.
Only use the accessories and additional equipment that are specified in the operat- ing instructions
and are compatible with the appliance.
