The corresponding safety information can be found
in the enclosed booklet.
CAUTION!
Read all safety regulations and instructions.
Any errors made in following the safety regulations
and instructions may result in an electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a
safe place for future use.
Always check the saw, the power cable and the
n
plug before use. Only ever use the saw if it is in
perfect, undamaged condition. Damaged parts
have to be repaired or replaced immediately by a
qualified electrician.
Always remove the battery pack before carrying
n
out any work on the saw, before changing the
blade and in periods of non-use.
Keep the saw in a safe place and out of the
n
reach of children.
Always wear goggles, safety gloves and ear
n
muffs when sawing. Wear a breathing mask on
dusty jobs.
Never leave any keys or adjustment spanners in
n
position on the saw. Before switching on, check
that all keys and adjustment spanners have been
removed.
Secure the workpiece (with a clamp) so that it
n
cannot slip.
It is prohibited to use the saw on asbestos
n
materials.
Please note the accident prevention regulations
in force in your country.
Use only original spare parts.
n
Repairs are to be carried out by qualified
n
electricians only.
The level of noise at the workplace may exceed
n
85 dB(A). In this case you will need to introduce
noise protection measures for the user.
Make sure of your footing. Avoid abnormal
n
4
working positions.
Keep your electric tool out of the rain. Never use
n
electric tools in wet or damp conditions, and
never use them near inflammable liquids.
Keep your workplace tidy.
n
Make sure the power switch is off before
n
inserting the battery pack.
Wear suitable clothing. Never wear loose-fitting
n
clothes or jewelry. Use a hair-net on long hair.
For your own safety, use only the manufacturerʼs
n
accessories and attachments.
Use only sharp saw blades that are in perfect
n
condition. Replace bent and cracked saw blades
immediately.
After switching off the saw, do not press against
n
the side of the blade to bring it to a halt.
Always cut at a steady rate of progress. This will
n
prevent accidents and prolong the life of your
saw and the blade.
Use only a damp cloth to clean your saw. Do not
n
use any aggressive agents for cleaning
purposes.
Check your saw to ensure that it is in good
n
working order. If the saw fails to work properly,
have it checked. Leave all maintenance and
inspection work strictly to a qualified electrician
or call our Customer Service on 1300 922 271.
Hold the equipment by the insulated handles
n
when carrying out work during which the
plug-in tool could strike concealed power
cables or its own mains lead. Contact with a
live cable can also make the metal parts of the
equipment live and will cause an electric shock.
