Always wait until the machine has come to
a complete stop before placing it down. The
tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control
over the power tool.
Do not direct the light beam at persons or
animals and do not stare into the light beam
yourself (not even from a distance).
Check the tight seating of the saw blade.
A loose saw blade can fall out and lead to in-
juries.
Use a narrow saw blade when sawing tight
curves.
When ejecting the saw blade, hold the ma-
chine in such a manner that no persons or
animals can be injured by the ejected saw
blade.
Dusts from materials such as lead-contain-
ing coatings, some wood types, minerals
and metal can be harmful to one's health
and cause allergic reactions, lead to respi-
ratory infections and/or cancer. Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by
specialists.
– As far as possible, use a dust extraction
system suitable for the material.
– Provide for good ventilation of the work-
ing place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-
class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your
country for the materials to be worked.
Prevent dust accumulation at the work-
place. Dusts can easily ignite.
Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage
of the power source must agree with the
voltage specified on the nameplate of the
machine. Power tools marked with 230 V
can also be operated with 220 V.
The restarting protection feature prevents
uncontrolled restarting of the machine af-
ter an interruption in the power supply. To
restart the operation, switch the On/Off
switch to the Off position and start the ma-
chine again.
The contact protector attached to the casing
(see figure 17, page 227) prevents acciden-
tal touching of the saw blade during the
working procedure and may not be removed.

Before sawing in wood, particle boards,
building materials etc., check for foreign
objects, such as nails, screws, etc. and re-
move them as required.
Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft ma-
terials, such as wood, gypsum board, etc.
The metal overshoe prevents the plastic
footplate from being scratched up, espe-
cially when sawing metal.
Adapt the settings of your power tool to the
respective application. For example, reduce
the stroke rate and orbital action when cut-
ting metal or for tight curved cuts.
When working small or thin work pieces, al-
ways use a sturdy support or a saw table
(accessory).
In extreme conditions, always use dust ex-
traction as far as possible. Blow out ventila-
tion slots frequently and install a residual
current device (RCD). When working metals,
conductive dust can settle in the interior of
the power tool. The total insulation of the
power tool can be impaired.
Products sold in GB only: Your product is fit-
ted 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 out-
lets, it should be cut off and an appropriate
plug fitted in its place by an authorised cus-
tomer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the orig-
inal plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to
avoid a possible shock hazard and should
never be inserted into a mains socket else-
where.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a re-
sidual current device (RCD) with a rated re-
sidual current of 30 mA or less.
