2. Safety instructions

Warning!
Read all safety instructions and
other instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety instructions and
other instructions for future refer-
ence.
The term "power tool" used in the safety instruc-
tions refers to mains-operated power tools (with
mains cable and mains cable module).
Device-specific safety instructions
-WARNING-
Keep your hands away from the area of the
saw and the saw blade. With your other hand,
hold the auxiliary handle or the motor housing.
If both hands are holding the circular saw, they
cannot be injured.
Never reach into the area beneath the work-
piece. The protective cover offers no protection
against injury beneath the workpiece.
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece. Less than the height of one full tooth
should be visible beneath the workpiece.
Never hold the workpiece in your hand or across
your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable sur-
face. It is important to attach the workpiece well to
minimise body exposure, the risk of the blade
sticking or loss of control.
Hold the tool only by its insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may touch hidden wiring or its
own cord. Contact with a live wire also makes
metallic parts of the power tool live, resulting in an
electric shock.
When making longitudinal cuts, always use a
stop or a straight edge guide. This improves the
accuracy of the cut and minimises the risk of the
saw blade sticking.
Always use saw blades of the correct size and
with arbour holes of the corresponding shape
(e.g. diamond-shaped or round). Saw blades
which do not fit the mounting attachments of the
saw will run eccentrically and lead to loss of control.
