Do not operate the power tool when stationary . It is
u
not suitable for operation with a saw table.
When performing plunge cuts which are not right-
u
angled, secure the guide plate of the saw so that it will
not shift sideways.In the event of a sideways shift, the
saw blade may become jammed, which could lead to kick-
back.
Do not use HSS saw blades. Such saw blades can easily
u
break.
Do not saw any ferrous metals. Hot chips may ignite the
u
dust extractor.
Products sold in GB only:
Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric
plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an au-
thorised customer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains
socket elsewhere.
Always wait until the power tool has come to a com-
u
plete stop before placing it down. The application tool
can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.
Hold the power tool firmly with both hands and make
u
sure you have a stable footing. The power tool can be
