cuts". Raise the lower guard by the retracting handle
and as soon as the blade enters the material, the lower
guard must be released.For all other sawing, the lower
guard should operate automatically.
Always observe that the lower guard is covering the
u
blade before placing the saw down on bench or
floor.An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw
to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be
aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after
switch is released.
Additional safety warnings
Do not allow the chip ejector to come into contact with
u
your hands. You may be injured by rotating parts.
Do not use the saw above the level of your head. Doing
u
so will mean you have inadequate control of the power
tool.
Use suitable detectors to determine if there are hid-
u
den supply lines or contact the local utility company
for assistance. Contact with electric cables can cause
fire and electric shock. Damaging gas lines can lead to ex-
plosion. Breaking water pipes causes property damage.
Do not operate the power tool when stationary . It is
u
not suitable for operation with a saw table.
When performing plunge cuts which are not right-
u
angled, secure the guide plate of the saw so that it will
not shift sideways.In the event of a sideways shift, the
saw blade may become jammed, which could lead to kick-
back.
Do not use HSS saw blades. Such saw blades can easily
u
break.
Do not saw any ferrous metals. Hot chips may ignite the
u
dust extractor.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
u
pours may be emitted. Ensure the area is well-ventilated
and seek medical attention should you experience any ad-
verse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory
system.
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-
u
ing.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such
u
as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.
An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
Only use the battery with products from the manufac-
u
turer. This is the only way in which you can protect the
battery against dangerous overload.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g.
against continuous intense sunlight, fire,
water and moisture. There is a risk of explo-
sion.
Always wait until the power tool has come to a com-
u
plete stop before placing it down. The application tool
can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.
