– Do not use the electric tool for purposes for which it
is not intended. For example, do not use handheld
circular saws for the cutting of branches or logs.
– Do not use the electric tool to cut firewood.
8 Wear suitable clothing
– Do not wear wide clothing or jewellery, which can
become entangled in moving parts.
– When working outdoors, anti-slip footwear is rec-
ommended.
– Tie long hair back in a hair net.
9 Use protective equipment
– Wear protective goggles.
– Wear a mask when carrying out dust-creating
work.
10 Connect the dust extraction device
– If connections for dust extraction and a collecting
device are present, make sure that they are con-
nected and used properly.
– Operation in enclosed areas is only permitted with
a suitable extraction system.
11 Do not use the cable for purposes for which it is
not intended
– Do not use the cable to pull the plug out of the
outlet. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
12 Secure the workpiece
– Use the clamping devices or a vice to hold the
workpiece in place. In this manner, it is held more
securely than with your hand.
– An additional support is necessary for long work-
pieces (table, trestle, etc.) in order to prevent the
machine from tipping over.
– Always press the workpiece firmly against the
working plate and stop in order to prevent bounc-
ing and twisting of the workpiece.
13 Avoid abnormal posture
– Make sure that you have secure footing and al-
ways maintain your balance.
– Avoid awkward hand positions in which a sudden
slip could cause one or both hands to come into
contact with the saw blade.
14 Take care of your tools
– Keep cutting tools sharp and clean in order to be
able to work better and more safely.
– Follow the instructions for lubrication and for tool
replacement.
– Check the connection cable of the electric tool
regularly and have it replaced by a recognised
specialist when damaged.
– Check extension cables regularly and replace
them when damaged.
– Keep the handle dry, clean and free of oil and
grease.
15 Pull the plug out of the outlet
– Never remove loose splinters, chips or jammed
wood pieces from the running saw blade.
– During non-use of the electric tool or prior to main-
tenance and when replacing tools such as saw
blades, bits, milling heads.
– When the saw blade is blocked due to abnormal
feed force during cutting, turn the machine off
and disconnect it from power supply. Remove the
work piece and ensure that the saw blade runs
free. Turn the machine on and start new cutting
operation with reduced feed force.
16 Do not leave a tool key inserted
– Before switching on, make sure that keys and ad-
justing tools are removed.
17 Avoid inadvertent starting
– Make sure that the switch is switched off when
plugging the plug into an outlet.
18 Use extension cables for outdoors
– Only use approved and appropriately identified
extension cables for use outdoors.
– Only use cable reels in the unrolled state.
19 Remain attentive
– Pay attention to what you are doing. Remain sen-
sible when working. Do not use the electric tool
when you are distracted.
20 Check the electric tool for potential damage
– Protective devices and other parts must be care-
fully inspected to ensure that they are fault-free
and function as intended prior to continued use
of the electric tool.
– Check whether the moving parts function fault-
lessly and do not jam or whether parts are dam-
aged. All parts must be correctly mounted and all
conditions must be fulfilled to ensure fault-free
operation of the electric tool.
– The moving protective hood may not be fixed in
the open position.
– Damaged protective devices and parts must be
properly repaired or replaced by a recognised
workshop, insofar as nothing different is speci-
fied in the operating manual.
– Damaged switches must be replaced at a cus-
tomer service workshop.
– Do not use any faulty or damaged connection
cables.
– Do not use any electric tool on which the switch
cannot be switched on and off.
21 ATTENTION!
– Exercise elevated caution for double mitre cuts.
22 ATTENTION!
– The use of other insertion tools and other acces-
sories can entail a risk of injury.
23 Have your electric tool repaired by a qualified elec-
trician
