• Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the workpiece
by hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Keep hands away from the sawing area.
Do not reach under the workpiece.
Contact with the saw blade can lead to
injuries.
• Only bring the power tool into contact
with the workpiece when switched on.
Otherwise, there is danger of kickback if
the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
• Ensure that the footplate always rests
securely while sawing. A jammed saw
blade can break or lead to kickback.
• When the cut is completed, switch off the
power tool and then pull the saw blade
out of the cut only after it has come to a
standstill. In this manner you can avoid
kickback and can place down the power
tool securely.
• Always wait until the power tool has
come to a complete stop before placing
it down. The application tool can jam and
cause you to lose control of the power
tool.

are in perfect condition. Bent or dull saw
blades can break, negatively in� uence
the cut, or lead to kickback.
• Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by
applying side pressure after switching off .
The saw blade can be damaged, break or
cause kickback.

if utility lines are hidden in the work
area or call the local utility company for
assistance. Contact with electric lines can
lead to � re and electric shock. Damaging
a gas line can lead to explosion.
