Due to the presence of hazardous com-
Li-ion
ponents in the equipment, waste electrical
and electronic equipment, accumulators
and batteries may have a negative impact
on the environment and human health.
Do not dispose of electrical and electronic
appliances or batteries with household
waste!
In accordance with the European Directive
on waste electrical and electronic equip-
ment and on accumulators and batteries
and waste accumulators and batteries,
as well as their adaptation to national law,
waste electrical equipment, batteries and
accumulators should be stored separately
and delivered to a separate collection point
for municipal waste, operating in accor-
dance with the regulations on environmen-
tal protection.
This is indicated by the symbol of the
crossed-out wheeled bin placed on the
equipment.
Intended use
The tool is intended for accurate straight and miter
cutting in wood. With appropriate saw blades, aluminum
can also be sawed.
Do not use the saw to cut other than wood, aluminum or
similar materials.
SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING:
tions, illustrations and specifications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
1.
dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
2.
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while
3.
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
1.
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.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
