Instructions for Use

WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and
applicable regulations.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power
source before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can cause injury.

WARNING:
• Ensure the material to be sawn is secured in place.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool and do not
exert side pressure on the saw blade. If possible, work
with the saw shoe pressed against the workpiece. This
prevents damage to the blade and stops the tool from
jerking and vibrating.
• When sawing in walls or floors be aware of the
location of pipework and wiring. Always hold the tool
by its handle.
• Avoid overloading.
• Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before
starting the cut. Never switch on the tool when the
saw blade is jammed in the workpiece or in contact
with the material.
