Selecting a Saw Blade
Use only saw blades suitable for the material be-
ing worked.
An overview of recommended saw blades can
be found at the beginning of these operating in-
structions. Use only saw blades with single-nose
shank. The saw blade should not be longer than
required for the intended cut.
Use a thin saw blade for narrow curve cuts.

Dust/Chip Extraction
f
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and
metal can be harmful to one’s health. Touch-
ing or breathing-in the dusts can cause aller-
gic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infec-
tions of the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are
considered as carcinogenic, especially in
connection with wood-treatment additives
(chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by
specialists.
– Provide for good ventilation of the work-
ing place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-
class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your
country for the materials to be worked.
