• Always set the correct blade tension to prevent the
saw blades from jerking.
• Be especially careful when cutting material with ir-
regular cut profiles.
• Exercise particular caution when cutting round ob-
jects such as rods and pipes. These can roll down
into the saw blade and cause the teeth to catch.
Use a wedge to brace such workpieces.
• The teeth can become caught in the kerf when
the workpiece is pulled back, especially if sawings
have filled in (blocked) the kerf. In this case, you
should switch the saw off, pull the power plug, clear
the kerf with a wedge, and remove the workpiece.
• Never leave the work area without having already
switched the saw off. Wait until the saw stops mov-
ing completely.
• Do not position, join, or construct any parts on the
work table while the saw is running.
• Only switch the saw on after you have removed any
remaining material and tools from the work table.
Leave only the workpiece to be machined and any
aids (e.g. wedges) on the work table.
• Always wear safety goggles!
• Keep your fingers at a safe distance from the saw
blade.
• Carefully guide the workpiece and keep it steady
at all times.

to be careless. Carelessness can lead to severe
injuries within a fraction of a second.
• Working position is always laterally of the saw
blade.
Do not lose this safety information.
