Additional safety instructions

Personal safety
▶ Never tamper with or modify the product or accessories in any way.
▶ Operate the power tool only together with the safety devices that belong to it.
▶ If you use the power tool without a dust extractor, always wear light respiratory protection when
undertaking work that creates dust.
▶ Always hold the power tool firmly with both hands on the grips provided.
▶ Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
▶ Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by relaxing your hands and exercising your fingers during
breaks between working.
▶ The power tool is not intended for use by debilitated persons who have received no special training.
▶ Do not switch the power tool on until it is at the workplace and has been brought to its working position.
▶ Remove the battery if a problem occurs with the power tool, whenever you change accessory tools or
accessories and before storing or transporting the power tool.
▶ Do not work overhead with the power tool.
▶ Do not attempt to brake the power tool by applying lateral pressure to the saw blade.
▶ Before inserting the battery, check that the saw is switched off and that the switch-on interlock is
activated. In this way you avoid injuries due to unintentional starting of the power tool.
▶ While the power tool is running, do not touch the clamping flange or the clamping screw.
▶ Before you lay down the power tool, wait until the power tool has come to a complete stop.
▶ Before changing the accessory tool, wait until the power tool has cooled down.
▶ Never press the drive spindle lock button while the saw blade is rotating.
▶ Never direct the power tool toward persons.
▶ The switch-on interlock must always be activated whenever you change accessories or the battery, for
transport and when you are going to stow the power tool away.
▶ Always use a saw blade suitable for the material and the condition of the workpiece.
▶ Adapt forward pressure to the saw blade and the material being cut. In this way you prevent the saw
blade from stalling and possibly causing kickback.
▶ Metal cuttings are sharp and can lead to injuries. Keep your clothing closed so that cuttings cannot find
their way into your gloves, shoes or other parts of your clothing.
▶ Pay attention to the direction in which the metal cuttings fly. The metal cuttings are hot and can lead to
fire, burns and cut injuries.
▶ Avoid overheating the tips of the saw blade teeth.
▶ The rated speed of the accessory tool must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the
power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can disintegrate and fly apart.
▶ Do not work in an environment heavily contaminated with dust.
▶ Dust produced by grinding, sanding, cutting and drilling can contain dangerous chemicals. Some
examples are: lead or lead-based paints; brick, concrete and other masonry products, natural stone
and other products containing silicates; certain types of wood, such as oak, beech and chemically
treated wood; asbestos or materials that contain asbestos. Determine the exposure of the operator and
bystanders by means of the hazard classification of the materials to be worked. Implement the necessary
measures to restrict exposure to a safe level, for example by the use of a dust collection system or by
the wearing of suitable respiratory protection. The general measures for reducing exposure include:
▶ working in an area that is well ventilated,
▶ avoidance of prolonged contact with dust,
▶ directing dust away from the face and body,
▶ wearing protective clothing and washing exposed areas of the skin with water and soap.
▶ Always wear a dust mask that meets the requirements of the application.
▶ Before starting work, check the hazard class of the dust that will be produced when working. Use an
industrial vacuum cleaner with an officially approved protection classification in compliance with locally
applicable dust protection regulations.
▶ Comply with national health and safety requirements.
▶ Use clamps or some other practical means to secure the workpiece and keep it in a stable position.
Attempting to stabilize the workpiece by hand or with your body is inadequate and can result in loss of
control. Do not have the workpiece held in position by a helper.
▶ Do not look directly into the light source (LEDs) incorporated in the power tool and do not direct the light
at other persons' faces.
