General safety rules
Hold the machine correctly: be prepared
to counteract typical or sudden movements –
keep both hands ready.
Be sure your body is well balanced and you
maintain a solid grip.
Prevent injuries from cutting: Avoid con-
tact with the saw blade when the machine is
connected to the air supply. Wear protective
equipment such as gloves, apron and helmet.
Uncontrolled machine movement can
cause injuries: Always be sure to hold the
guide plate (if attached) firmly against the
work piece.
Cutting with these machines will create sharp
edges. Wear gloves to protect your hands.
In the event of power failure release the start-
or stop control.
Only use the lubricants recommended by the
manufacturer.
Protective equipment such as safety goggles
must be used; suitable gloves and protective
clothing are recommended.
Be aware the rotating built-in tool will start up
after activating the start- and stop control.

experience discomfort of the hands and arms,
as well as the neck and shoulders or other
body parts.
When using circular, oscillating or reciprocating
saws the operator should maintain a comfortable
posture, ensuring a secure grip and avoiding
uncomfortable postures or postures making it
difficult to maintain balance. The operator should
change his posture when working for extended
periods to help prevent discomfort and fatigue.
If the operator experiences symptoms such as
persistently or repeatedly feeling unwell, discom-
fort, palpitations, pain, tingling, numbness, a
burning sensation or stiffness, these warning signs
should not be ignored. The operator should con-
sult a suitably qualified healthcare professional.
