on inadvertently.
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
any adjustments, conversions, servicing or
cleaning are performed.

machine is switched off.
Always wear protective goggles, gloves, and sturdy
shoes when working with this tool.
Ensure that the spot where you wish to work is free
of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g.
using a metal detector).
When sawing water pipes, ensure that they do not
contain any water.
Wear ear protectors when working for long
periods of time. High noise levels over a
prolonged period of time may affect your hearing.

be harmful to health (e.g. asbestos) must not be
processed.
Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may
cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases
to the operator or bystanders.
Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic
such as oak and beech dust especially in
