3 Intended Use
The metal hand-held circular saw is intended exclusively
for sawing solid or hollow profiles made of steel and
other metallic materials. The processing possibilities
also depend on the operating conditions of the suitable
saw blades used.
Intended use also includes compliance with all the infor-
mation in these instructions.
3.1 Reasonably foreseeable misuse
Any use beyond the intended use or any other use is
considered misuse.
Possible misuses can be:
- The metal hand-held circular saw must not be used
for sawing flammable materials (e.g. magnesium
or similar).
- Use of the metal hand-held circular saw for materi-
als other than aluminium, PVC or wood materials
(e.g. machining of hard metal or similar, plastic,
etc.).
- Modifications to the machine or accessories.
- Maintenance work on an unsecured machine
- Non-observance of wear and damage marks.
- Service work carried out by untrained or unauthor-
ised personnel.
- Use of accessories or spare parts not approved by
the manufacturer.
- Misuse of the machine
- Operating the metal hand-held circular saw if the
operating instructions have not been fully read and
understood.
- Deliberate or careless handling of the metal hand-
held circular saw during operation.
- Using an incompletely assembled machine.
Misuse of the metal hand-held circular saw can lead to
dangerous situations. Stürmer Maschinen GmbH ac-
cepts no liability for design and technical modifications to
the metal hand-held circular saw. Claims of any kind for
damage due to improper use are excluded.

- Risk of injury to the upper limbs (e.g. hands, fingers).
- Risk of injury from tripping over cables.
- Impairment of hearing during prolonged work without
hearing protection or if this is defective.
- Electrical hazard due to contact with parts and high
voltage (direct contact) or with parts under high
voltage due to a defect in the metal hand-held circular
saw (indirect contact).
- Heat build-up on components can cause burns and
other injuries.
- Risk of breakage or ejection of workpieces.
- Risk of injury to the eye from flying parts, even with
