b) If the saw blade jams or you interrupt your
work, switch off the saw and hold the saw
calmly in the material, until the saw blade has
come to a standstill. Never attempt to remove
the saw from the workpiece or draw it back-
wards whilst the saw blade is moving, other-
wise kickback can occur. Determine and reme-
dy the causes of the saw blade jamming.
c) If you wish to restart a saw that is inserted
in a workpiece, centre the saw blade in the
sawing gap and check that the saw teeth are
not hooked in the workpiece. If the saw blade
is hooked in, it can move out of the workpiece or
cause kick-back when the saw is restarted.
d) Support large panels, in order to avoid the
risk of kick-back due to a jammed saw blade.
Large panels may bend under their own weight.
Panels must be supported on both sides, that is
both close to the saw blade and at the edge.
e) Do not use blunt or damaged saw blades. Saw
blades with blunt or incorrectly aligned teeth cause
increased friction, jamming of the saw blade and
kickback due to the sawing gap being too tight.
f) Before sawing, determine the cutting depth
and cutting angle setting. If you change the set-
tings during sawing, the saw blade can jam and
result in kickback.
g) Apply particular caution when sawing in ex-
isting walls or other areas that are not visible.
The plunging saw blade can jam in concealed ob-
jects during sawing and result in kickback.
Function of the upper protective cover
a) Check that the lower protective cover closes
correctly before every use. Do not use the saw
if the lower protective cover does not move
freely or does not close immediately. Never
clamp or bind the lower protective cover in
the open position. If the saw should accidentally
fall to the floor, the lower protective cover may be
bent. Open the protective cover with the pull-back
lever and make sure it moves freely and does not
touch the saw blade or any other parts with all
cutting angles and depths.
b) Check the condition and function of the spring
for the lower protective cover. Have the saw
maintained before use, if the lower protective
cover and spring do not function properly. Dam-
aged parts, sticky deposits or adhered chips cause
the lower protective cover to function with a delay.
c) Only open the lower protective cover by hand
for special cuts, such as "dip and angle cuts".
Open the lower protective cover with the pull-
back lever and release it as soon as the saw
blade dips into the workpiece. For all other
sawing operations, the lower protective cover
should operate automatically.

d) Do not place the saw on the workbench or the
floor without the lower protective cover cov-
ering the saw blade. An unprotected saw blade
running on moves the saw against the cutting di-
rection and saws anything in its path. Observe the
run-on time of the saw blade here.
Additional instructions:
• Do not use grinding discs.
• Only use saw blades with diameters that match the
inscriptions on the saw.
• When working with wood or materials that generate
dust that is hazardous to health, the device must be
connected to a suitable, tested extraction device.
• Wear a dust protection mask when sawing wood.
• Only use recommended saw blades.
• Always wear hearing protection.
• Avoid overheating the sawtooth tips.
• When sawing plastic, avoid melting the plastic.
m ATTENTION!
This electric tool generates an electromagnetic field
during operation. This field can impair active or pas-
sive medical implants under certain conditions. In or-
der to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries,
we recommend that persons with medical implants
consult with their physician and the manufacturer of
the medical implant prior to operating the machine.
Residual risks
The machine has been built according to the state-of-
the-art and the recognised technical safety require-
ments. However, individual residual risks can arise
during operation.
• Lung damage if suitable dust protection mask is not
worn.
• Hearing damage if suitable hearing protection is
not worn.
• Damage to health resulting from hand/arm vibra-
tion if the device is used over an extended period of
time or if it is not properly operated and maintained.
• Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use
of improper electrical connection cables.
• Before performing setting or maintenance work, re-
lease the start button and pull out the power plug.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been met,
some non-obvious residual risks may still remain.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety In-
structions" and the "Intended Use" together with the
operating manual as a whole are observed.
• Avoid accidental starting of the machine: the oper-
ating button may not be pressed when inserting the
plug in an outlet. Use the tool that is recommended
in this operating manual. This is how to ensure that
your machine provides optimum performance.
• Keep your hands away from the working area when
the machine is in operation.
