MACHINE-SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
- Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric
shock.
- Keep hands away from the sawing range. Do not reach
under the workpiece. Contact with the saw blade can lead
to injuries.
- Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched on.
Otherwise there is danger of kickback when the cutting tool
jams in the workpiece.
- Pay attention that the base plate rests securely on the
material while sawing. A jammed saw blade can break or
lead to kickback.
- When the cut is completed, switch off the machine and then
pull the saw blade out of the cut only after it has come to
a standstill. In this manner you can avoid kickback and can
place down the machine securely.
- Use only sharp, awless saw blades. Bent or unsharp saw
blades can break or cause kickback.
- Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by applying side
pressure after switching off. The saw blade can be damaged,
break or cause kickback.
- Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for
assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to re and
electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion.
Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may
cause an electric shock.
- Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping
devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
- Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are
particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or
explode.
- 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 cable. Do not touch
the damaged cable and pull the mains plug when the cable
is damaged while working. Damaged cables increase the risk
of an electric shock.
