removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with your hand
near the coasting blade is dangerous.
Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut
u
or when releasing the switch before the saw head is
completely in the down position. The braking action of
the saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled
downward, causing a risk of injury.
Keep your work area clean. Material mixtures are partic-
u
ularly hazardous. Light metal dust may catch fire or ex-
plode.
Do not use dull, cracked, bent or damaged saw blades.
u
Unsharpened or improperly set saw blades produce
narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding
and kickback.
Do not use saw blades made from high speed steel
u
(HSS). Such saw blades can easily break.
Always use saw blades with correct size and shape
u
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Saw blades
that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will
run off-centre, causing loss of control.
Never remove cuttings, wood chips, etc. from the cut-
u
ting area while the power tool is running. Always guide
the tool arm back to the neutral position first and then
switch the power tool off.
Do not touch the saw blade after working before it has
u
cooled. The saw blade becomes very hot while working.
Never make warning signs on the machine unrecognis-
u
able.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
u
pours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or ex-
plode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical
attention should you experience any adverse effects. The
vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuit-
u
ing.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such
u
as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.
An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to
burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
Only use the battery with products from the manufac-
u
turer. This is the only way in which you can protect the
battery against dangerous overload.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water
and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and
short-circuiting.
The power tool is delivered with a warning sign (see
u
table: "Symbols and their meaning").
Do not direct the laser beam at persons or
animals and do not look directly into the
laser beam or at its reflection. Doing so
could lead to blindless, or could cause acci-
dents or damage to the eyes.

Do not direct the laser beam at persons who are look-
u
ing through binoculars or similar instruments. Doing
so can damage their eye.
If laser radiation hits your eye, you must close your
u
eyes and immediately turn your head away from the
beam.
Do not replace the integrated laser with a laser of an-
u
other type. A laser that is not compatible with this power
tool could pose a risk to persons.
Do not make any modifications to the laser equip-
u
ment.
Do not use the laser goggles as protective goggles.
u
The laser goggles make the laser beam easier to see; they
do not protect you against laser radiation.
Do not use the laser goggles as sunglasses or while
u
driving. The laser goggles do not provide full UV protec-
tion and impair your ability to see colours.
Do not use any optical instruments such as binoculars
u
to view the radiation source. Doing so can damage your
eye.
Warning! If operating or adjustment devices other
u
than those specified here are used or other proced-
ures are carried out, this can lead to dangerous expos-
ure to radiation.
