 Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut
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.
 The power tool is provided with a laser warning label
(marked with number 33 in the representation of the
power tool on the graphics page).
IEC 60825-1:2014
<0.39mW, 650 nm
CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT
Do not direct the laser beam at persons
or animals and do not stare into the di-
rect or reflected laser beam yourself, not
even from a distance. You could blind
somebody, cause accidents or damage
your eyes.
 Do not make any modifications to the laser equipment.
The setting options described in these operating instruc-
tions can be used safely.
 Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are par-
ticularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or ex-
plode.
 Do not use dull, cracked, bent or damaged saw blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set saw blades produce nar-
row kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kick-
back.
 Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw blades. Such saw
blades can easily break.
 Always use blades with correct size and shape (dia-
mond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not
match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentri-
cally, causing loss of control.
 Do not replace the installed laser with another laser
type. A laser that is not compatible with this power tool
could pose a risk to persons.
 Never remove cutting remainders, wood chips, etc.
from the sawing area while the machine is running. Al-
ways guide the tool arm back to the neutral position first
and then switch the machine off.
 Do not touch the saw blade after working before it has
cooled. The saw blade becomes very hot while working.
 Never make warning signs on the machine unrecognis-
able.
Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a
BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA
approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an author-
ised customer service agent. The replacement plug should
have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains sock-
et elsewhere.
