5) Make sure that the base plate
is securely placed against the
workpiece during sawing. The saw
blade can tilt and lead to loss of control over
the power tool.
6) After you have finished work, turn
the power tool off and do not pull the
saw blade out of the cut until it has
come to a standstill. In this way you will
avoid any kickback and can safely put down
the power tool.
7) Use only undamaged saw blades in
perfect condition. Bent or blunt blades
can break, adversely affect the cut or cause
kickback.
8) Do not brake the saw blade after
switching the product off by applying
side pressure. The saw blade may be
damaged, break or cause a kickback.
9) Tighten the material firmly. Do not
support the workpiece by hand or
foot. Do not touch any objects or the
ground with the saw running. There is
a risk of kickback.
10) Use suitable detectors in order to find
hidden supply lines or ask the local
utility company. Contact with electrical
cables can lead to electric shock and fire,
contact with a gas pipe can result in an
explosion. Damage to a water pipe can lead
to property damaged and electric shock.
11) Hold the power tool tightly with both
hands while working and ensure a
secure footing. The power tool is guided
more securely with both hands.
12) Secure the workpiece. A workpiece that
is retained with clamping products or a vice is
held more securely than with your hand.
13) Wait until the power tool has
stopped before placing it down. The
accessory tool can tilt and lead to loss of
control over the power tool.
14) Do not saw any materials (e.g. lead-based
paints and coatings or materials containing
asbestos) whose dust can be harmful.

15) If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order to
avoid a hazard.
