complete stop.
When performing slide cut, first pull
carriage fully and press down handle,
then push carriage toward the guide
fence.

.......... Adjust sliding fences clear of blade and
blade guard properly.
.......... Always remove SUB-FENCE R when
performing right bevel cuts. Failure to do
so may cause serious injury to operator.
...... Never look into the laser beam. Direct
laser beam may injure your eyes.
Intended use
The tool is intended for accurate straight and miter cutting
in wood. With appropriate saw blades, aluminum can also
be sawed.
Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can
only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are
double-insulated in accordance with European Standard
and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without
earth wire.

power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire 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.
Work area safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Electrical Safety
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. 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.
ENE006-1
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
ENF002-1
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.
7. Use of power supply via an RCD with a rated
residual current of 30 mA or less is always
recommended.
8. Power tools can produce electromagnetic fields
(EMF) that are not harmful to the user. However,
users of pacemakers and other similar medical
GEA012-2
devices should contact the maker of their device and/
or doctor for advice before operating this power tool.
9. Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.
