•Use a dust extraction system if possible. Regularly blow the ventilation slots clean. When
processing metals, conductive dust may become deposited into the power tool. This may
influence the protective insulation of the power tool.
•Only perform plunge cuts in soft materials, for example, wood, plasterboard.
1.3 Additional Safety Instructions
•Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.
•Prior to starting work, use appropriate tool to determine whether there are any hidden
supply lines are located on the area you are working in. If in doubt, ask the relevant supply
services.
•Contact with power lines may cause fire and electrical shock. Damaging a gas pipe may cause
an explosion. Damaging a water pipe leads to considerable property damage and may cause
electrical shock.
•Wait until the power tool has come to a standstill before you put it down. The inserted tool
may otherwise jam and cause a loss of control over the power tool.
•Secure the work piece. A work piece secured using clamps or a vice is held more safely than
one held by hand.
•Keep your workplace clean. Mixed contamination by various materials is particularly
dangerous.
•Light metal dust (e.g. aluminium) can ignite or explode easily.
•Never use the power tool with a damaged cable. Do not touch a damaged cable and pull out
the power plug immediately. Damaged cables increase the risk of electric shock.
•Prevent overheating of the device and the work piece. Excess heat may damage the tool and
the device.
•Shortly after being used, the tool may be very hot. Allow a hot tool to cool down. Touching a
hot tool may cause burns.
•Never clean a hot tool with flammable liquids. There is a risk of fire and explosion.
•Keep the handles dry and free of grease. Slippery handles can lead to accidents.
•Always comply with the all applicable domestic and international safety, health, and working
regulations. Inform yourself before you start work about the regulations that apply at the
site of the device.
•Remember that moving parts may also be located behind ventilation and venting slots.
•Symbols affixed to your device may not be removed or covered. Information on the device
that is no longer legible must be replaced immediately.
1.4 Electrical Safety
•Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
•Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
•Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
•Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
•Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
•When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use
