Use suitable detectors to determine if utili-
ty lines are hidden in the work area or call
the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can
lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line
causes property damage or may cause an
electric shock.
Do not operate the power tool stationary. It
is not designed for operation with a saw ta-
ble.
Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw
blades. Such saw blades can easily break.
Do not saw ferrous metals. Red hot chips
can ignite the dust extraction.
When working with the machine, always
hold it firmly with both hands and provide
for a secure stance. The power tool is guided
more secure with both hands.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held
more secure than by hand.
Always wait until the machine has come to
a complete stop before placing it down. The
tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control
over the power tool.
Never use the machine with a damaged ca-
ble. Do not touch the damaged cable and
pull the mains plug when the cable is dam-
aged while working. Damaged cables in-
crease the risk of an electric shock.

Functional Description

Read all safety warnings and all in-
structions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may re-
sult in electric shock, fire and/or se-
rious injury.

Intended Use

The machine is intended for lengthways and
crossways cutting of wood with straight cutting
lines as well as mitre cuts in wood while resting
firmly on the workpiece. With suitable saw
blades, thin-walled non-ferrous metals, e. g.,
profiles, can also be sawed.
Working ferrous metals is not permitted.
