For Your Safety

Working safely with this ma-
chine is possible only when the
operating and safety information
are read completely and the in-
structions contained therein are
strictly followed. In addition, the
general safety notes in the enclosed booklet
must be observed. Before using for the first
time, ask for a practical demonstration.
Wear protective glasses and hearing protec-
tion.
For long hair, wear hair protection. Work only
with closely fitting clothes.
If the mains cable is damaged or cut through
while working, do not touch the cable but im-
mediately pull the mains plug. Never use the
machine with a damaged cable.
The dust that is produced while working can be
detrimental to health, inflammable or explo-
sive. Suitable safety measures are required.
Examples: Some dusts are regarded as carci-
nogenic. Use suitable dust/chip extraction and
wear a dust respirator.
When working with the machine, always hold it
firmly with both hands and provide for a secure
stance.

Always direct the cable to the rear away from
the machine.
Connect machines that are used in the open
via a residual current device (RCD) with an ac-
tuating current of 30 mA maximum. Do not op-
erate the machine in rain or moisture.
Hold the power tool only by the insulated
gripping surfaces, when performing an op-
eration where the cutting tool may run into

.
hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the op-
erator.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if
utility lines are hidden in the work area or
call the local utility company for assist-
ance.
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.
The machine must be operated only with the
appertaining protective devices.
The retracting blade guard 16 must be able to
move freely and close by itself; it must not be
clamped while opened.
Always use the riving knife 15.
For stationary use, the machine may be oper-
ated only on a sawing table with restarting pro-
tection.
Apply the machine to the workpiece only when
switched on.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
When working, always guide the machine
away from the body.
Do not work with materials containing asbes-
tos.
The cutting path must be free of obstacles both
above and below.
The saw blade must not protrude more
than 3 mm out of the workpiece.
Keep hands clear of the rotating saw blade. Do
not come into contact with the rotating saw
blade on the underside of the workpiece.
Do not allow fingers to enter the chip ejec-
tor 12.
Do not saw into nails, screws, etc.
Do not work overhead with the machine.
