hand, support the supplementary handle or the
motor casing.
- Do not reach under the workpiece.
- Adapt the cutting depth to the workpiece thickness.
- Never support the workpiece in your hand or over
your leg. Secure the workpiece against a sturdy
support.
- When sawing with connected guide rail, the
machine may only be removed from the workpiece
if it is in home position and the retractable saw
guard is closed.
- Only hold the device by its isolated handle
surfaces when carrying out work during which the
cutting tool could hit concealed power cables.
- Always use a limit stop or a straight edge guide for
longitudinal cutting.
- Always use correctly sized saw blades with
matching mounting hole (e.g. star-shaped or
round).

washers or screws.

- If the saw blade jams or sawing is interrupted for
another reason, release the on/off switch and keep
the saw steady in the workpiece until the saw
blade stands completely still. Never try to remove
the saw from the workpiece or to pull it backwards
while the saw blade is still moving or while a
backlash could occur.
- If you would like to restart a saw that is stuck in the
workpiece, centre the saw blade in the saw slit and
check whether the saw teeth are stuck in the
workpiece.
- Support large plates to reduce the risk of backlash
caused by a jammed saw blade.
- Do not use any blunt or damaged saw blades.
- Before starting to saw, tighten the cutting depth
and cutting angle adjustments.
- Be especially careful when making a "plunge cut"
into a concealed area, e.g. into an existing wall.
- Prior to every use, check whether the lower saw
guard is closing properly. Do not use the saw if the
lower saw guard is not freely movable and does
not close immediately. Never clamp or tie down the
lower saw guard in an open position.
- Check the function of the spring for the lower saw
guard. Have the device serviced if the bottom saw
guard and the spring are not in perfect working
order.
- Only manually open the lower saw guard for
special cuts, such as "plunge and angle cuts".
Open the lower saw guard using the retracting
lever and release the lever as soon as the saw
blade has penetrated the workpiece.
- Do not place the saw on the work bench or on the
floor without the lower saw guard covering the saw
blade.
- Use the saw blade that matches the riving
knife/splitter.
- Adjust the riving knife/splitter as described in the
operating instructions.
- Always use the riving knife/splitter except for
"plunge cuts".
- For the riving knife/splitter to function, it has to be
located in the saw slit.
- Never operate the saw with bent riving
knife/splitter.
- Examine the workpiece for foreign objects. Never
attempt to cut into nails or other metal objects.
