• Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first
switching off the machine.
• Do not slow or stop a blade with a piece of wood. Let
the blade come to rest naturally.
• If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete
the process and switch off before looking up.
• Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings
are properly tightened.
• Do not store materials or equipment above a machine
in such a way that they could fall into it.
• Always hold the saw on parts that are insulated. If you
accidentally cut into hidden wiring or the saw’s own
cable, the metal parts of the saw will become “live”.
• Never saw near combustible liquids or gases.
• Note the direction of rotation of the motor and the
blade.
• Do not lock the movable guard in the open position and
always ensure that it is working properly, freely rotating
and returning to fully cover the teeth of the blade.
• Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential
overheating.
• When an extension cable is required, you must ensure
that it has the correct ampere rating for your power tool
and has a safe electrical condition.
• The base plate must always be held firmly against
the material being cut to reduce saw vibration, blade
jumping and blade breakage.
• Do not cut materials containing asbestos.
• Do not use metal or stone cutting blades. Only use
wood saw blades.
The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose.
