Possible examples of non-intended or incorrect use
are:
• Use of the plunge saw for purposes other than those
for which it is intended;
• Failure to observe the safety instructions and main-
tenance as well as the installation, operation, main-
tenance and cleaning instructions contained in this
operating manual;
• Failure to comply with any accident prevention, occu-
pational physician or safety regulations specific and/
or generally applicable to the use of the plunge saw;
• Use of accessories and spare parts not intended for
the plunge saw;
• Modifications on the plunge saw;
• Repair of the plunge saw by someone other than the
manufacturer or a specialist;
• Commercial, craft or industrial use of the plunge
saw;
• Operation or maintenance of the plunge saw by per-
sons who are not familiar with the use of the plunge
saw and/or do not understand the hazards involved.
An element of the intended use is also the observance
of the safety instructions, as well as the assembly in-
structions and operating information in the operating
manual.
Persons who operate and maintain the machine must
be familiar with it and must be informed about potential
dangers.
In addition, the applicable accident prevention regula-
tions must be strictly observed.
Other general occupational health and safety-related
rules and regulations must be observed.
The liability of the manufacturer and resulting damages
are excluded in the event of modifications of the machine.
Despite use as intended, specific risk factors cannot be
entirely eliminated. Due to the design and layout of the
machine, the following risks remain:
• Touching the saw blade in the uncovered areas;
• Reaching into the running saw blade (cutting injury);
• Kick-back of workpieces and workpiece parts in the
event of improper handling;
• Saw blade breakages;
• Ejection of faulty carbide parts of the saw blade;
• Hearing damage when the necessary hearing pro-
tection is not used;
• Eye damage if the necessary safety goggles are not
used;
• Damage to health if the necessary dust protection
mask is not used;

5. Safety instructions
General power tool safety warnings
m WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or se-
rious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future ref-
erence.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operat-
ed (cordless) power tool.
1. Workplace safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Clut-
tered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive at-
mospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while op-
erating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Nev-
er modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
