s) Hold the handle firmly when making an incom-
plete 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.
5.2 Safety instructions for the use of
saw blades
• Avoid uncontrolled release of the saw unit in the lower
end position.
• Do not use damaged or deformed saw blades.
• Do not use saw blades with cracks. Separate cracked
saw blades. Repairs are not permitted.
• Do not use saw blades made of high speed steel.
• Check the condition of the saw blades before using
saws.
• Make sure that a suitable saw blade for the material to
be cut is selected.
• Only use saw blades recommended by the manufac-
turer.
Saw blades designed to cut wood and similar materi-
als must comply with EN 847-1.
• Do not use saw blades made of high-speed alloy steel
(HSS steel).
• Only use saw blades for which the maximum permis-
sible speed is not lower than the maximum spindle
speed of the saw and which are suitable for the mate-
rial to be cut.
• Observe the direction of rotation of the saw blade.
• Only use saw blades if you have mastered their use.
• Observe the maximum speed. The maximum speed
specified on the saw blade may not be exceeded. If
specified, observe the speed range.
• Clean dirt, grease, oil and water off of the clamping
surfaces.
• Do not use any loose reducing rings or bushes for the
reducing of holes on saw blades.
• Make sure that fixed reducer rings for securing the
saw blade have the same diameter and have at least
1/3 of the cutting diameter.
• Make sure that fixed reducer rings are parallel to each
other.
• Handle saw blade with caution. They are ideally
stored in the originally package or special containers.
Wear protective gloves in order to improve grip and to
further reduce the risk of injury.
• Prior to the use of saw blades, make sure that all pro-
tective devices are properly fastened.
• Prior to use, make sure that the saw blade meets the
technical requirements of this saw and is properly fas-
tened.
• Only use the supplied saw blade for cutting wood,
never for the processing of metals.
• Use only a saw blade with a diameter that matches
the specifications on the saw.
• Use additional workpiece supports, if required for
workpiece stability.
• Workpiece support extensions must always be se-
cured and used during work.
26 | GB
• Replace table inlays when worn!
• Avoid overheating the saw teeth.
• When sawing plastic, avoid melting of the plastic.
Use the correct saw blades for the material to be cut.
Replace damaged or worn saw blades immediately.
When the saw blade overheats, stop the machine. Al-
low the saw blade to cool down before using the ma-
chine again.
• Use only saw blades that are marked with an equal or
higher rotational speed than the rotational speed
specified on the electric tool.
• Always ensure that the saw is stable and secure.
5.3 Laser beam
Protect yourself and you environment from accidents
using suitable precautionary measures!
• Do not look directly into the laser beam with unpro-
tected eyes.
• Never look into the path of the beam.
• Never point the laser beam towards reflecting surfac-
es and persons or animals. Even a laser beam with a
low output can cause damage to the eyes.
CAUTION
Methods other than those specified here can
result in dangerous radiation exposure.
• Never open the laser module. Unexpected exposure
to the beam can occur.
• If the product is not used for an extended period of
time, the batteries should be removed.
• The laser may not be replaced with a different type of
laser.
• Repairs of the laser may only be carried out by the la-
ser manufacturer or an authorised representative.
5.4 Residual risks
The product has been built according to state-of-the-
art and the recognised technical safety rules. Howev-
er, individual residual risks can arise during opera-
tion.
• Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use of
improper electrical connection cables.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been met,
some non-obvious residual risks may still remain.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety Instruc-
tions" and the "Intended Use" together with the oper-
ating manual as a whole are observed.
