9. Special safety instructions
Safety instructions for circular saws
Hold the equipment on the insulated handles, when
you undertake work in which the tool being used
could come into contact with hidden electrical wires,
or its own cable. Contact with a live power source
can electrify the metal parts of the tool and lead to
an electrical shock.
Attention: Laser radiation
Do not stare into the beam
Class 2 laser
Protect yourself and you environment from ac-
cidents using suitable precautionary measures!
• Do not look directly into the laser beam with un-
protected eyes.
• Never look into the path of the beam.
• Never point the laser beam towards reflecting sur-
faces and persons or animals. Even a laser beam
with a low output can cause damage to the eyes.
• Caution - methods other than those specified here
can result in dangerous radiation exposure.
• Never open the laser module. Unexpected expo-
sure to the beam can occur.
• If the mitre saw is not used for an extended period
of time, the batteries should be removed.
• The laser may not be replaced with a different type
of laser.
• Repairs of the laser may only be carried out by the
laser manufacturer or an authorised representa-
tive.
Safety instructions for handling batteries
1 Always make sure that the batteries are inserted
with the correct polarity (+ and –), as indicated
on the battery.
2 Do not short-circuit batteries.
3 Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries.
4 Do not overcharge batteries!
5 Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries
of different types or manufacturers! Replace an
entire set of batteries at the same time.
6 Immediately remove used batteries from the de-
vice and dispose of them properly!
7 Do not allow batteries to heat up!
8 Do not weld or solder directly on batteries!
9 Do not dismantle batteries!

14 Do not keep batteries near fire, ovens or other
sources of heat. Do not use batteries in direct
sunlight or store them in vehicles in hot weather.
15 Keep unused batteries in the original packaging
and keep them away from metal objects. Do not
mix unpacked batteries or toss them together!
This can lead to a short-circuit of the battery and
thus damage, burns or even the risk of fire.
16 Remove batteries from the equipment when it will
not be used for an extended period of time, unless
it is for emergencies!
17 NEVER handle batteries that have leaked without
appropriate protection. If the leaked fluid comes
into contact with your skin, the skin in this area
should be rinsed off under running water imme-
diately. Always prevent the fluid from coming into
contact with the eyes and mouth. In the event
of contact, please seek immediate medical at-
tention.
18 Clean the battery contacts and corresponding
contacts in the device prior to inserting the bat-
teries
10. Remaining hazards
The machine has been built using modern tech-
nology in accor dance with recognized safety
rules. Some remaining hazards, how ever, may
still exist.
• The use of incorrect or damaged mains cables can
lead to injuries caused by electricity.
• Even when all safety measures are taken, some
remaining hazards which are not yet evident may
still be present.
• Remaining hazards can be minimized by following
the instructions in „Safety Precautions", „Proper
Use" and in the entire operating manual.
• Do not force the machine unnecessarily: excessive
cutt ing pressure may lead to rapid deterioration of
the blade and a decrease in performance in terms
of finish and cutting precision.
• When cutting aluminium and plastics always use
the app ro priate clamps: all workpieces must be
clamped down firmly.
• Avoid accidental starts: do not press the start but-
ton while inserting the plug into the socket.
• Always use the tools recommended in this manual
to obtain the best results from your plunge cut saw.
• Always keep hands away from the work area when
the ma chine is running; before performing tasks of
any kind release the main switch button located
on the handgrip, thus disconnecting the machine.
