SAWING METHOD
a)
DANGER! Do not put your
hands in the cutting area or on
the saw blade. If you hold the saw with
bothhands,theycannotbeinjuredby
the saw blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the
workpiece.Theprotectivehoodcannot
protect you from the saw blade under
the workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness
of the workpiece. Less than one full
tooth height should be visible below
the workpiece.
d) Never hold the workpiece you want
to saw in your hands or over your
leg. Secure the workpiece in a sturdy
support. It is important to fasten the
workpiece securely to minimise the
risk of physical contact, the saw blade
jammingandlossofcontrol.
e)
Hold the electric tool by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing
work in which the cutting tool may
come into contact with hidden wiring.
Contactwithalivewirealsocauses
a charge in metal parts of the electric
tool and results in an electric shock.
f) When performing longitudinal cuts,
always use a stop or a straight edge

towards the operator.
• If the saw blade snags or gets caught
