Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
u
hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-
pany for assistance. 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 dam-
age or may cause an electric shock.
Hold the power tool firmly with both hands and make
u
sure you have a stable footing. The power tool can be
more securely guided with both hands.
Do not operate the power tool when stationary . It is
u
not suitable for operation with a saw table.
When performing plunge cuts which are not right-
u
angled, secure the guide plate of the saw so that it will
not shift sideways.In the event of a sideways shift, the
saw blade may become jammed, which could lead to kick-
back.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
u
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by
hand.
Always wait until the power tool has come to a com-
u
plete stop before placing it down. The application tool
can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.
Do not use HSS saw blades. Such saw blades can easily
u
break.
Do not saw any ferrous metals. Hot chips may ignite the
u
dust extractor.
Wear a dust mask.
