 Dispose of used packaging material carefully or store it out of the reach of
children. There is a danger of suffocation!
 Keep the tool out of reach of children. It is not a toy.
 Only use this unit according to this instruction manual and for the intended
use. The unit has not been designed for continuous, professional use.
 Persons with limited physical, sensorial or mental abilities are not allowed to
use the unit, unless they are supervised and briefed for their safety by a quali-
fied person.
 Never direct the power tool towards people, animals or plants.
 Protect the unit from humidity and extreme temperatures. Do not operate the
tool outdoors. Do not allow water or any other liquids to enter the unit.
 Hold the 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 tool to the workpiece only when switched on. Otherwise there is
danger of kickback when the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
 When sawing, the pivoting shoe must always faces against the workpiece. The
saw blade can become wedged and lead to loss of control over the tool.
 When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and then pull the saw blade out
of the cut only after it has come to a standstill. This way you can avoid kick-
back and can place down the tool securely.
 Use only sharp, flawless saw blades. Bent or blunt saw blades can break or
cause kickback.
 Do not slow down the saw blade by applying side pressure after switching off.
The saw blade can be damaged, break or cause kickback.
 Clamp the material to be processed well. Do not support the workpiece with
your hand or foot. Do not touch objects or the floor with the saw running.
Danger of kickback.
