when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord.

Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may

make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.

Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform.

Holding

the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Use the dust collection device or connect a dust
extraction vacuum when operating the product.

Keep mains lead clear from working range of the
machine. Always lead the cable away behind you.

Wear a dust mask.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk
factors. The following hazards may arise and the operator
should pay special attention to avoid the following:

Injury caused by vibration

Dust may enter the eyes or respiratory system.
Wear eye protection at all times. Wear appropriate
dust control mask with filters suitable for protecting
against particles from the material being cut. Do
not eat, drink, or smoke in the work area. Ensure
adequate ventilation.

Injury caused by electric shock

parts of the product to become live. Always hold
the product by the designated handles and take
care when blind-cutting into walls and floors where
cables may be hidden.

Injury caused by contact with the blade

–

The blades are very sharp and will become hot
during use. Wear gloves when changing blades.
Keep hands away from the cutting area at all times.
Clamp the workpiece whenever possible.

Injury caused by noise

–

Noise can damage hearing. When using power
tools for an extended period of time, wear hearing
protection.

may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling,

upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to
cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices
are all thought to contribute to the development of these
symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
