Operation
This power tool is supplied from single-phase alternat-
ing current mains only. It is double insulated according
to EN 60745-1 and IEC 60745 and can be connected
to grounded or not grounded sockets. This power tool
is radio suppressed in compliance with EMC Directive
2004/108/EC.
This power tool is designed for longitudinal and cross
sawing wood in a straight line at bevel angle from 0° to
45°.
PRIOR TO INITIAL OPERATION
▪ Make sure the power supply voltage corresponds to
the value indicated on the name plate with technical
data of the tool.
▪ Always check the position of ON/OFF switch. The
power tool must be connected to the power supply
socket only when this switch is in OFF position. If the
plug is connected to a receptacle while the power
switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start
operating immediately, which could cause a serious
accident.
▪ Make sure that the cord and the plug are in order. If the
replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has
to be done by the manufacturer or his agent in order
to avoid a safety hazard.
▪ Always inspect the blade. Use only well grinded
blades. Never use blades with cracks and indents or
HSS-blades.
▪ Check if the mobile guard moves freely.
▪ Make sure the work piece or the material is well se-
cured.
WARNING: Always switch off and unplug the
power tool prior to any adjustment, servicing or main-
tenance or in case of mains drop-out.
