Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace.
Dust 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 op-
erated with 220 V.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on
when using it.
The restarting protection prevents uncon-
trolled starting of the machine after a power
failure. To restart the machine, set the On/Off
switch to the off position, and then switch the
power tool on again.
The contact protector attached to the casing
(see figure 15, page 173) prevents accidental
touching of the saw blade during the working
procedure and may not be removed.
Before sawing in wood, particle boards, build-
ing materials etc., check for foreign objects,
such as nails, screws, etc. and remove them
as required.
Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft mate-
rials, such as wood, gypsum board, etc. For
plunge cuts, use only short saw blades.
The metal overshoe prevents the plastic foot-
plate from being scratched up, especially
when sawing metal.
Adapt the settings of your power tool to the re-
spective application. For example, reduce the
stroke rate and orbital action when cutting
metal or for tight curved cuts.
When working small or thin work pieces, always
use a sturdy support or a saw table (accessory).
In extreme conditions, always use dust extrac-
tion as far as possible. Blow out ventilation
slots frequently and install a portable residual
current device (PRCD). 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 fitted
with a BS 1363/A approved electric plug with in-
ternal 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 authorised 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 in-
serted into a mains socket elsewhere.

Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a resid-
ual current device (RCD) with a rated residual
current of 30 mA or less.
