piece before the switch is turned on.
9.
Keep hands away from moving parts.
10. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
11. Always switch off and wait for the blade to come
to a complete stop before removing the blade
from the workpiece.

ately after operation; they may be extremely hot
and could burn your skin.
13. Do not operate the tool at no-load unnecessarily.
14. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation
and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety
data.
