Secure the workpiece. Use clamping equipment
or a vice to secure the workpiece. This will be safer
than holding it in your hand.
The workpiece must always be clamped to the saw
bench.
Avoid any abnormal body posture. Provide good
stability and keep balance at all times. By this,
electric tools are better controlled in unexpected
situations.
Treat electric tools carefully. Check whether the
moving parts work perfectly and do not drag,
whether not broken or damaged to such an extent
that functioning of electric tools could be affected.
Have any damaged parts repaired before using
the machine. Poor maintenance of electric tools is
a cause of many injuries.
Keep the cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully
treated cutting tools with sharp edges get stuck less
often and are easier to guide.
Follow the instructions for lubricating and chan-
ging tools.
Check the connection cable on the electric tool at
regular intervals and have it replaced by an expert
if it is damaged.
Check the extension cables at regular intervals
and replace them if they are damaged.
Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil and
grease.
Pull the plug out of the socket and/or remove the
battery when the tool is not in use before you
make machine settings or change accessories,
such as the saw blade, drill bit or cutter. This safety
measure prevents unintentional starting of the
electric tool.
Before starting any electric tool, remove any
adjusting wrenches and screwdrivers. A tool or a
wrench present in the rotating part of the machine
may lead to injuries.
Prevent the machine from unintentional starting.
Before plugging and/or connecting the machine
to battery, handling or carrying, make sure the
electric tools are switched off. Having a finger on
the switch when carrying the electric tool or when the
machine is on when plugging it may lead to injuries.
If you wish to work outdoors with an electric tool,
only use extension cables which are approved for
outdoor use and are marked accordingly. Using an
extension cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
Be careful, pay attention to what you are doing
and use common sense when working with
electric tools. Do not use electric tools when you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or pharmaceuticals. A moment if inattention when
using electric tools may lead to serious injuries.
Check the machine for any damage. Before using
the equipment again, the protective equipment
must carefully be checked if safe and working as
designated.
Check the moving parts for perfect functioning,
if working smoothly and if no parts are damaged.
To provide safe operation of the equipment, all
parts must be installed properly and meet all
conditions.
Damaged protective equipment and parts must
be professionally repaired or replaced by a recog-
nised professional workshop, unless otherwise
specified in the Operating Instructions.
Damaged switches must be replaced in a customer
service workshop.
Do not use electric tools with a defective switch.
An electric tool that cannot be switched on or off is
dangerous and must be repaired.

This electric tools complies with the relevant safety
regulations. Repairs may only be carried out by an
electrician using genuine spare parts; otherwise the
user may suffer accidents.
