3. General safety instructions
General PowerTool Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, re and/
or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term“power tool”in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) 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. Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) 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 and moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are
tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the o-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools
with your nger on the switch or energising
power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use
of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and o. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may aect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) 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 dierent from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
UK

7
power tool is maintained.
4. Special safety instructions
• DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area
and the blade. Keep your second hand on
auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both
hands are holding the saw, they cannot be
cut by the blade.
• Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The guard cannot protect you from the blade
below the workpiece.
• Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of
the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the
blade teeth should be visible below the
workpiece.
• Never hold the workpiece being cut in your
hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece
to a stable platform. It is important to support
the work properly to minimize body exposure,
blade binding, or loss of control.
• Hold the power tool only by the 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.
• When ripping always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy
of cut and reduces the chance of blade
binding.
• Always use blades with correct size and
shape (diamond versus round) of arbour
holes. Blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run eccentrically,
causing loss of control.
• Never use damaged or incorrect blade
washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt
were specially designed for your saw, for optimum
performance and safety of operation.
• Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
– Kickback is a sudden reaction to a
pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade,
causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and
out of the workpiece toward the operator.
– When the blade is pinched or bound tightly
by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and
the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly
back toward the operator.
– If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned
in the cut, the teeth at the back edge
of the blade can dig into the top surface of
the wood causing the blade to climb out of
the kerf and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper precautions
as given below.
•Maintain a rm grip with both hands on the
saw and position your arms to resist kickback
forces. Position your body to either side of the
blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback
could cause the saw to jump backwards, but
kickback forces can be controlled by the operator,
if proper precautions are taken.
• When blade is binding, or when interrupting
a cut for any reason, release the trigger and
hold the saw motionless in the material until
the blade comes to a complete stop. Never
attempt to remove the saw from the work or
pull the saw backward while the blade is in
motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and
take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of
blade binding.
• When restarting a saw in the workpiece,
centre the saw blade in the kerf and check
that saw teeth are not engaged into the
material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk up
or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is

8
restarted.
• Support large panels to minimise the risk of
blade pinching and kickback. Large panels
tend to sag under their own weight. Supports
must be placed under the panel on both sides,
near the line of cut and near the edge of the
panel.
• Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce
narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade
binding and kickback.
• Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking
levers must be tight and secure before making
cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting,
it may cause binding and kickback.
• Use extra caution when making a“plunge
cut” into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that
can cause kickback.
• Check lower guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate the saw if lower
guard does not move freely and close
instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower
guard into the open position. If saw is
accidentally dropped, lower guard may be
bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting
handle and make sure it moves freely and
does not touch the blade or any other part, in
all angles and depths of cut.
• Check the operation of the lower guard
spring. If the guard and the spring are not
operating properly, they must be serviced
before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly
due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a
build-up of debris.
• Lower guard should be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as“plunge cuts”
and“compound cuts”. Raise lower guard by
retracting handle and as soon as blade enters
the material, the lower guard must be
released. For all other sawing, the lower guard
should operate automatically.
• Always observe that the lower guard is
covering the blade before placing saw down
on bench or oor. An unprotected, coasting
blade will cause the saw to walk backwards,
cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of
the time it takes for the blade to stop after
switch is released.
•Do not reach into the saw dust ejector with
your hands. They could be injured by rotating
parts.
• Do not work overhead with the saw. In this
manner you do not have sucient control over
the power tool.
• Use suitable detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call the
local utility company for assistance. Contact
with electric lines can lead to re and electric
shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes
property damage or may cause an electric shock.
• Do not operate the power tool stationary. It
is not designed for operation with a saw table.
• Do not use high speed steel (HSS) saw
blades. Such saw blades can easily break.
• Do not saw ferrous metals. Red hot chips
can ignite the dust extraction.
• When working with the machine, always
hold it rmly with both hands and provide
for a secure stance. The power tool is guided
more secure with both hands.
• Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held
more secure than by hand.
• Always wait until the machine has come to
a complete stop before placing it down. The
tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control

9
over the power tool.
•Never use the machine with a damaged cable.
Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the
mains plug when the cable is damaged while
working. Damaged cables increase the risk of an
electric shock.
Important! Laser radiation
Do not look into the beam
Laser class 2
Protect yourself and your environment from
accidents by taking the appropriate precautionary
measures.
•Never look directly into the laser path.
•Never direct the laser beam at reecting surfaces
or persons or animals. Even a low output laser
beam can inict injury on the eye.
•Caution: It is vital to follow the work procedures
described in these instructions. Using the tool in
any other way may result in hazardous exposure
to laser radiation.
•Never open the laser module.
Important.
Read the instructions for use before
starting the machine.
Wear safety goggles.
Wear ear protection.
Wear good quality, strong gloves.
Always use breathing apparatus when
machining materials which generate
dust.
End of life machines contain valuable
materials and therefore they should not
be placed in household waste.
We would ask you to play your part in
protecting resources and help protect
the environment by returning this
machine to a return point (if one is
available) when it reaches the end of its
life.
