▶ Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated and, if necessary, wear a respirator appropriate for
the type of dust generated. Contact with or inhalation of the dust can cause allergic reactions and/or
respiratory or other diseases among operators or bystanders. Only specialists are permitted to handle
material containing asbestos.
▶ Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
▶ Never hold the workpiece with your hand or across your leg. Secure the workpiece in a sturdy holder.
▶ Always hold the power tool firmly with both hands on the handles provided for the purpose and position
your arms to absorb kickback forces.
▶ Keep the grips clean and dry.
▶ Position yourself off to one side of the blade, never bring the blade into line with your body. The saw can
jump backward toward you if kickback occurs.
▶ If the saw blade binds or when you interrupt work for any reason, switch off the saw and hold it motionless
in the material until the saw blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the
workpiece or pull the saw back while the blade is in motion, as otherwise the saw could kick back.
▶ When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are
not in engagement with the workpiece.
▶ Use extra caution when sawing into walls or other blind areas. As it enters the material the blade might
encounter a hidden obstruction, resulting in kickback.
Electrical safety
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes.
External metal parts of the power tool can become live, presenting a risk of electric shock, if you
accidentally damage an electric cable.
▶ Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing work in which the accessory
tool might come into contact with concealed wiring. If the accessory tool comes into contact with a live
wire, metal parts of the power tool can also become live, resulting in an electric shock.
Power tool use and care
▶ Do not use dull or damaged blades. These cause increased friction and present a high risk of the saw
blade binding or kicking back.
▶ Comply with the manufacturer's instructions for handling and storing saw blades.
▶ The product must be pressed against the workpiece until the contact shoe makes firm contact. This
ensures optimum and safe progress as you work.
▶ Wear suitable protective clothing as protection against hot particles of material.

Additional safety instructions
▶ Use the product only when it is in perfect working order.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the power tool in any way.
▶ Do not use dull or damaged blades. These cause increased friction and present a high risk of the saw
blade binding or kicking back.
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes.
External metal parts of the power tool can become live, presenting a risk of electric shock, if you
accidentally damage an electric cable.
▶ Secure the workpiece in a sturdy holder. Never hold the workpiece with your hand or across your leg.
▶ Switch the product on only after bringing it to the working position.
▶ When working with the power tool, always guide it away from your body.
▶ Apply only moderate pressure and cut at an appropriate speed, especially when cutting large-diameter
pipes. This will help to prevent the power tool overheating.
▶ Before cutting through pipes, make sure that they are empty of medium. Drain the pipes if necessary.
▶ When cutting through pipes, hold the power tool above the level of the pipe you are cutting through.
▶ The power tool is not protected against ingress of moisture. Liquid running out of a pipe can cause a
short circuit in the power tool.
▶ Never cut into unknown materials and make sure the path of the saw is free of obstructions above and
below the workpiece.
▶ The power tool can kick back if the saw blade comes into contact with an obstructing object.
▶ Wear protective gloves also when changing the accessory tool. Touching the accessory tool presents a
risk of injury (cuts or burns).
▶ Always remove the battery when the power tool is not in use, before maintenance, before changing
accessory tools and before transport.
▶ Engage the transport lock before storing or transporting the power tool.
