tive gloves. Danger of injury when touching
the saw blade.
Use only saw blades whose maximum permitted
speed is higher than the no-load speed of the
power tool.
Use only saw blades that correspond with the
characteristic data given in these operation in-
structions and that are tested and marked in ac-
cordance with EN 847-1.
