 Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut
or when releasing the switch before the saw head is
completely in the down position. The braking action of
the saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled
downward, causing a risk of injury.
 Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are par-
ticularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or ex-
plode.
 The power tool is provided with a laser warning label
(marked with number 41 in the representation of the
power tool on the graphics page).
Do not direct the laser beam at persons
or animals and do not stare into the di-
rect or reflected laser beam yourself, not
even from a distance. You could blind
somebody, cause accidents or damage
your eyes.
 If laser radiation strikes your eye, you must deliberate-
ly close your eyes and immediately turn your head
away from the beam.
 Do not use any optical instruments such as binoculars
to view the radiation source. Doing so can damage your
eye.
 Do not direct the laser beam at persons who are looking
through binoculars or similar instruments. Doing so can
damage their eye.
 Do not make any modifications to the laser equipment.
The setting options described in these operating instruc-
tions can be used safely.
 Never make warning signs on the machine unrecognis-
able.
 Do not use dull, cracked, bent or damaged saw blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set saw blades produce nar-
row kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kick-
back.
 Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw blades. Such saw
blades can easily break.
 Always use blades with correct size and shape (dia-
mond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not
match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentri-
cally, causing loss of control.
 Do not replace the installed laser with another laser
type. A laser that is not suitable for this power tool could
pose dangers for other persons.
 Never remove cutting remainders, wood chips, etc.
from the sawing area while the machine is running. Al-
ways guide the tool arm back to the neutral position first
and then switch the machine off.
 Do not touch the saw blade after working before it has
cooled. The saw blade becomes very hot while working.
