WARNING
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may
be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not

- when the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down,
the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back
toward the operator;
- if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the
back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood
causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the
operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.

these instructions for use.
The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful to health. Do
not inhale the dust. Wear a suitable dust protection mask.

Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load or
extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery acid wash it off
immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact rinse
thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical
attention.
Adapt the feed speed to avoid overheating the blade tips and to avoid
melting plastic materials during cutting.
