Working safely with this machine is
possible only when the operating
and safety information are read
completely and the instructions con-
tained therein are strictly followed.
In addition, the general safety
instructions in the enclosed booklet must be fol-
lowed.
Wear safety goggles.
❏ Convince yourself before using that the battery is
securely seated in the machine.
❏ Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely
than by hand.
❏ When working, never guide a hand or fingers in
front of the saw blade.
❏ Do not work with materials containing asbestos.
❏
Apply the machine to the workpiece only when
switched on.
❏ The cutting path must be free of obstacles both
above and below.
❏ When sawing, the complete surface of the base
plate 8 should securely rest on the material. For the
working of smaller or thin workpieces, use a stable
foundation or a saw table (accessory).
❏
When the cut is completed, switch off the machine
and then pull the saw blade out of the cut only after
it has come to a standstill (danger of kick-back).
❏
Always switch the machine off and wait until it has
come to a standstill before placing it down.
❏ Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by applying
side pressure after switching off.
❏ Use only sharp, flawless saw blades. Change
cracked, bent or dull saw blades immediately.
❏
Never allow children to use the machine.
❏ Always remove battery before working on ma-
chine.
Battery, Battery charger
❏
When not storing the battery in the battery char-
ger, cover the battery contacts with the protection
cap 13 . In case of short-circuiting by metallic
bridging, there is danger of fire and explosion!
❏ Do not open the battery; protect against impact,
heat and fire. Danger of explosion!
❏ Before each use, check the machine and battery. If
damage is detected, do not use the machine.
Have repairs performed only by a qualified tech-
nician.
Never open the machine yourself.
❏
Battery and charger are specifically designed for
use in conjunction with one another. Charging
should be performed exclusively with a Würth rap-
id charger.
❏ The rated voltage of the battery must correspond
with the specifications on the machine.
❏ Allow warm battery to cool before charging.
❏
Under extreme conditions it is possible that some
battery fluid can escape; this, however, does not
indicate any defect. Should battery fluid contact
the skin, wash the affected parts of the skin imme-
diately with soap and water. Neutralise the battery
fluid with vinegar or lemon juice. Should any bat-
tery fluid get into the eye, rinse the eye for at least
10 minutes with fresh water. Consult a doctor im-
mediately!
The battery charger must be operated in
dry rooms only and not in a wet environ-
ment. Wetness reduces the electrical
safety and increases the risk of an electri-
cal shock.
❏
Use the unit when the housing is damaged. The
missing protective insulation can enable interior
parts to be touched and lead to a dangerous elec-
tric shock.
❏
Do not cover the venting slots. The battery charger
can overheat, become damaged and cause a fire.
❏
Do not charge batteries of other manufacturers. It
is possible that such batteries are not protected
against overheating and can explode or cause a
fire.
❏ Do not charge non-rechargable batteries. Such
batteries can explode or cause a fire.
❏
Do not operate the battery charger on easily
inflammable surfaces or in combustible environ-
ments. The battery charger can become hot and
cause a fire.
❏ Do not open the battery charger. Touching interior
parts can lead to a dangerous electric shock.
❏ Use only original Würth parts and accessories.
