e) 

Do not use dull or damaged blades.

Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce 

narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade 

binding and kickback. 
f) 

Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking 

levers must be tight and secure before making 

the cut.

 If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it 

may cause binding and kickback. 
g) 

Use extra caution when sawing into existing 

walls or other blind areas.

 The protruding blade 

may cut objects that can cause kickback. 

Lower guard function

a) 

Check the lower guard for proper closing 

before each use. Do not operate the saw if the 

lower guard does not move freely and close 

instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard 

into the open position. 

If the saw is accidentally 

dropped, the lower guard may be bent. Raise the 

lower guard with the retracting handle (26)and 

make sure it moves freely and does not touch the 

blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of 

cut.
b) 

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. 
c) 

The lower guard may be retracted manually 

only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and 

"compound cuts". Raise the lower guard by the 

retracting handle (26) and as soon as the blade 

enters the material, the lower guard must be 

released

 For all other sawing, the lower guard 

should operate automatically.
d) 

Always observe that the lower guard is 

covering the blade before placing the saw 

down on bench or floor.

 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 use sanding discs.
Keep hands away from the rotating tool! Remove 

chips and similar material only with the machine at 

a standstill.

Wear

 a suitable dust protection mask.

Wear ear protectors.

Wear protective goggles.

Press the spindle locking button only when the 

motor is at a standstill.
Do not reduce the speed of the saw blade by 

pressing on the sides.
The movable guard must not be clamped in the 

pulled-back position for sawing.

The movable guard must move freely, 

automatically, easily and exactly back into its end 

position.
When sawing materials that generate large 

quantities of dust, the machine must be cleaned 

regularly. Make sure that the safety appliances, e.g. 

the movable guard, are in perfect working order.
Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may 

be harmful to health (e.g. asbestos) must not be 

processed.
Check the workpiece for foreign bodies. When 

working, always make sure that no nails or other 

similar materials are being sawed into.
If the saw blade blocks, turn the motor off 

immediately.
Do not try to saw extremely small workpieces.
During machining, the workpiece must be firmly 

supported and secured against moving.

Clean gummy or glue-contaminated saw 

blades.

 Contaminated saw blades cause 

increased friction, jamming of the saw blade and 

increase the risk of back-kicks.

Avoid overheating of the saw tooth tips. Avoid 

melting of the material when sawing plastic.

Use a saw blade that is suitable for the material 

being sawn. 
If the machine is defective, remove the battery pack 

from the machine.

Protect battery packs from water and 

moisture!

Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs!

Do not expose battery packs to fire!

Do not open battery packs!
Do not touch or short circuit battery pack contacts!

Remove the battery pack from the machine 

when not in use.
Remove the battery pack from the machine 

before any adjustment or maintenance is 

carried out.
Before fitting the battery pack, make sure that 

the machine is switched off.

A slightly acidic, flammable fluid may leak 

from defective Li-ion battery packs! 
If battery fluid leaks out and comes into 

contact with your skin, rinse immediately 

with plenty of water. If battery fluid leaks out 

and comes into contact with your eyes, wash them 

with clean water and seek medical attention imme-

diately!
