power tool for operations dierent from those 
intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, 
clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not 
allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specied by 
the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may create a 
risk of re when used with another
battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specically 
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and re.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away 
from other metal objects, like paper clips, 
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal 
objects, that can make a connection from 
one terminal to another. Shorting the battery 
terminals together may cause burns or a re.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be 
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If 
liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the 
battery may cause irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is 
damaged or modied. Damaged or
modied batteries may exhibit unpredictable 
behaviour resulting in re, explosion or risk
of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re 
or excessive temperature. Exposure to
re or temperature above 130 °C may cause 
explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not 
charge the battery pack or tool
outside the temperature range specied in the 
instructions. Charging improperly or
at temperatures outside the specied range may 
damage the battery and increase the
risk of re.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied 
repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the 
safety of the power tool is maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. 
Service of battery packs should only be 
performed by the manufacturer or authorized 
service providers.
4. Special safety instructions
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping 
surfaces, when performing an operation where 
the cutting accessory may contact hidden 
wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.
• Keep hands away from the sawing range.
Do not reach under the workpiece. Contact
with the saw blade can lead to injuries.
• Apply the machine to the workpiece only
when switched on. Otherwise there is danger
of kickback when the cutting tool jams in
the workpiece.
• Pay attention that the base plate rests
securely on the material while sawing.
A jammed saw blade can break or lead to
kickback.
• When the cut is completed, switch o the
machine and then pull the saw blade out of
the cut only after it has come to a standstill.
