Safe work
1. Keep the work area orderly
- Disorder in the work area can lead to accidents.
2. Take environmental influences into account
- Do not expose electric tools to rain.
- Do not use electric tools in a damp or wet envi-
ronment.
- Make sure that the work area is well-illuminated.
- Do not use electric tools where there is a risk of
fire or explosion.
3. Protect yourself from electric shock
- Avoid physical contact with earthed parts (e.g.
pipes, radiators, electric ranges, cooling units).
4. Keep children away
- Do not allow other persons to touch the equip-
ment or cable, keep them away from your work
area.
5. Securely store unused electric tools
- Unused electric tools should be stored in a dry,
elevated or closed location out of the reach of
children.
6. Do not overload your electric tool

output range.
7. Use the correct electric tool

it is not intended. For example, do not use hand-
held circular saws for the cutting of branches or
logs.

ommended.
- Tie long hair back in a hair net.
9. Use protective equipment

- Wear a mask when carrying out dust-creating
work.
10. Connect the dust extraction device if you will be
processing wood, materials similar to wood, or
plastics.
- If connections for dust extraction and a collecting
device are present, make sure that they are con-
nected and used properly.

outlet. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp
edges..
12. Secure the workpiece
- Use the clamping devices or a vice to hold the
workpiece in place. In this manner, it is held more
securely than with your hand.
- An additional support is necessary for long work-
pieces (table, trestle, etc.) in order to prevent the
machine from tipping over.
- Always press the workpiece firmly against the
working plate and stop in order to prevent bounc-
ing and twisting of the workpiece.
13. Avoid abnormal posture
- Make sure that you have secure footing and al-
ways maintain your balance.
- Avoid awkward hand positions in which a sudden
slip could cause one or both hands to come into
contact with the saw blade.
14. Take care of your tools
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean in order to be
able to work better and more safely.
- Follow the instructions for lubrication and for tool
replacement.
