The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose.
Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual will
be considered a case of misuse. The user and not the
manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury
resulting from such cases of misuse.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any changes made
to the tool nor for any damage resulting from such changes.
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible
to eliminate all residual risk factors. The following hazards
GB
may arise in connection with the tool's construction
and design:
• Contact with the blade.
• Kickback of work piece and parts of work piece.
• Blade fracture.
• Catapulting of blade pieces.
• Damage to hearing if effective earmuffs are not worn.
• Harmful emissions of sawdust when the machine is
used in closed rooms. Always use supplementary dust
extraction where possible.
• Do not use blades that are deformed or cracked.
• Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential
overheating.
• When an extension cable is required, you must ensure
that it has the right ampere rating for your power tool and
is in safe electrical condition.
• After long working periods external metal parts and
accessories could be hot.
• Do not force the saw; let the tool do the work at a
reasonable speed. Overloading will occur if too much
pressure is applied and the motor slows resulting in
inefficient cutting and possible damage to the motor.
• Always remove the plug from the mains socket before
making any adjustments or maintenance, including
changing the blade.
WARNINGS. Before connecting a tool to a power source
(mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure
that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater
than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to
the user, as well as damage to the tool.
If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source
with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful
to the motor.

Unpacking
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely

personal injury.
