When ejecting the saw blade, hold the ma-
chine in such a manner that no persons or an-
imals can be injured by the ejected saw blade.
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and met-
al can be harmful to one's health and cause al-
lergic reactions, lead to respiratory infections
and/or cancer. Materials containing asbestos
may only be worked by specialists.
– As far as possible, use a dust extraction sys-
tem suitable for the material.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working
place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class
respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country
for the materials to be worked.
Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace.
Dusts can easily ignite.
Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of
the power source must agree with the voltage
specified on the nameplate of the machine.
Power tools marked with 230 V can also be op-
erated with 220 V.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on
when using it.
The restarting protection prevents uncon-
trolled starting of the machine after a power
failure. To restart the machine, set the On/Off
switch to the off position, and then switch the
power tool on again.
The contact protector attached to the casing
(see figure 15, page 121) prevents accidental
touching of the saw blade during the working
procedure and may not be removed.
Before sawing in wood, particle boards, build-
ing materials etc., check for foreign objects,
such as nails, screws, etc. and remove them
as required.
Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft mate-
rials, such as wood, gypsum board, etc. For
plunge cuts, use only short saw blades.
Adapt the settings of your power tool to the re-
spective application. For example, reduce the
stroke rate and orbital action when cutting
metal or for tight curved cuts.
When working small or thin work pieces, al-
ways use a sturdy support or a saw table (ac-
cessory).

In extreme conditions, always use dust extrac-
tion as far as possible. Blow out ventilation
slots frequently and install a residual current
device (RCD). When working metals, conductive
dust can settle in the interior of the power tool.
The total insulation of the power tool can be im-
paired.
Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted
with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with in-
ternal 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 authorised 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 insert-
ed into a mains socket elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual
current device (RCD) with a rated residual current
of 30 mA or less.
