• Remove the plug from the socket before setting the

device, changing accessories or putting the device
away. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children

and Do not let people use the device who are not
familiar with it or who have not read these instruc-
tions. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.

• Maintain the electric tool with care. Check whether

moving parts function properly and do not get stuck
and whether parts are broken or are damaged and

thus adversely affect the electric tool function.

Have

damaged parts repaired before using the device.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-

tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.

in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations dif-
ferent from those intended could result in a hazard-
ous situation.

5 Service

•

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified re

pair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.

Warning!

This power tool generates an electromag-

netic field during operation.

This field can impair active

or passive medical implants under certain conditions.
In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries,
we recommend that persons with medical implants
consult with their physician and the manufacturer of
the medical implant prior to operating the power tool.

• When performing work during which the cutting de-

vice could come into contact with concealed power
lines, hold the electrical tool by the insulated handle
surfaces. Contact between the cutting tool and a
live power line can also electrify metal device parts
and lead to an electric shock.

• Keep your hands away from the sawing area and

saw band.

• If you work with a power tool outdoors, only use ex-

tension cables that are also suitable for outdoor use.
Using an extension cable suitable for outdoor use re-
duces the risk of an electric shock.

• If you cannot avoid using the electrical tool in a wet

environment, use a fault-current circuit breaker. Use
of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3 Personal safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-

mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use

a power tool while you are tired or under the influ

ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
carelessness when using electrical tools can result
in serious injuries.

• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear

eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing pro-
tection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Make sure the switch

is in the off-position before connecting to the power

supply, picking up or carrying the electric tool. Keep-

ing your finger on the switch or having the device

switched on when you connect it to the power supply
may result in accidents.

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning

the power tool on. A tool or spanner that is located in
a rotating device part may result in injuries.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance

at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-

lery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
