When making a "plunge cut" that is
c)
not at right angles, secure the base
plate of the saw to prevent any
lateral movement. Lateral movement can
cause the saw blade to jam, thus causing a
kickback.
Do not leave the saw on the work
d)
bench or floor if the blade guard is
not fully covering the saw blade.
An unprotected, coasting saw blade will
move the saw in the opposite direction to the
cutting direction and saw anything in its path.
Always, take into account that the saw blade
takes some time to stop spinning.
Supplementary notes
Do not use any grinding discs.
Use only saw blades with diameters
corresponding to the label on the saw.
When working with wood or materials
that produce dust hazardous to health, the
appliance must be connected to a suitable,
tested extraction appliance.
Wear a dust mask when sawing wood.
Only use recommended saw blades.
Always wear ear muffs.
Avoid overheating the sawtooth tips.
When sawing plastic, avoid melting the
plastic.
Use the correct saw blade according to the
material to be sawn.
Use only saw blades specified by the
manufacturer which, if intended for cutting
wood or similar materials, comply with
EN 847-1.
Tools may only be used by trained and
experienced persons who are familiar with
the use of tools.

Safety instructions for
abrasive cutting appliances
The blade guard, which is a part of
a)
the power tool, must be attached
securely and set in a way that
ensures maximum safety, i.e. the
smallest possible amount of the
grinding tool is exposed to the
operator. Ensure that you and anyone else
in the vicinity remain outside of the range of
the rotating grinding disc. The blade guard
is designed to protect the operator from
fragments and accidental contact with the
grinding tool.
Use only diamond-coated cutting
b)
discs for your power tool. Just because
you can attach the accessories to your
power tool, does not ensure they are safe
to use.
