Safety class
• Due to our continuing program of research and devel-
opment, the specifications herein are subject to change
without notice.
• Note: Specifications may differ from country to country.
Intended use
The tool is intended for cutting in mild steel.
Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can
only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are
double-insulated in accordance with European Standard
and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without
earth wire.
Safety hints
For your own safety, please refer to the enclosed safety
instructions.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TOOL
DANGER:
1. Keep hands away from cutting area and the
blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary han-
dle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding
the tool, they cannot be cut by blade.
2. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The
guard cannot protect you from the blade below the
workpiece.
3. Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth
should be visible below the workpiece.

Never hold piece being cut in your hands or
across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a sta-
ble platform. It is important to support the work
properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding,
or loss of control.
A typical illustration of proper hand support,
workpiece support, and supply cord routing
(if applicable).
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the
operator.
When ripping always use a rip fence or straight
edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and
reduces the chance of blade binding.
Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades
that do not match the mounting hardware of the tool
will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers
or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially
designed for your tool, for optimum performance and
safety of operation.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback;
• Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an
uncontrolled tool to lift up and out of the work-
piece toward the operator.
• When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by
the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the
motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back
toward the operator.
• If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in
the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade
can dig into the top surface of the workpiece
causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and
jump back toward the operator.
