Noise and vibration data:
Measured values for noise are determined in accordance with EN 60745. The A-weighted noise level of the electrical power tool are typically:
Sound pressure level: 90 dB(A)
Sound power level: 101 dB(A)
Uncertainty K: 3 dB

Wear ear protection!
Evaluated acceleration, typical:
Hand/arm vibration a_h = 6,268m / s^2
Uncertainty K = 1,5m / s^2
WARNING! The vibration level given in these instructions has been measured in accordance with a standardised measurement procedure specified in EN 60745 and can be used to compare devices.
Different uses of the device give rise to different vibration levels and in many cases they may exceed the values given in these instructions. It is easy to underestimate the vibration load if the electrical power tool is used regularly in particular circumstances.
Note: If you wish to make an accurate assessment of the vibration loads experienced during a particular period of working, you should also take into account the intervening periods of time when the device is switched off or is running but is not actually in use. This can result in a much lower vibration load over the whole of the period of working.

General safety advice for electrical power tools
WARNING! Read all the safety advice and instructions! Failure to observe the safety advice and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all the safety advice and instructions in a safe place for future reference!
The term "electrical tool" used in the safety advice refers to electrical tools powered by mains electricity (by means of a mains lead) and electrical tools powered by rechargeable batteries (without a mains lead).
1. Workplace safety
a) Keep your working area clean and well lit. Untidy or poorly lit working areas can lead to accidents.
b) Do not work with the device in potentially explosive environments in which there are inflammable liquids, gases or dusts.
Electrical power tools create sparks, which can ignite dusts or fumes.
c) Keep children and other people away while you are operating the electrical tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control of the device.
2. Electrical safety
a) The mains plug on the device must match the mains socket. The plug must not be modified in any way. Do not use an adapter plug with devices fitted with a protective earth. Unmodified plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid touching earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrigerators with any part of your body. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
c) Keep the device away from rain or moisture. Water entering an electrical device increases the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not use the mains lead for any purpose for which it was not intended, e.g. to carry the device, to hang up the device or to pull the mains plug out of the mains socket. Keep the mains lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts of the device. Damaged or tangled mains leads increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When working outdoors with an electrical power tool always use extension cables that are also approved for use outdoors. The use of an extension cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) Use a residual current device (RCD) for protection if operating the electrical power tool in a moist environment is unavoidable. The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a) Remain alert at all times, watch what you are doing and always proceed with caution. Do not use the device if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. One moment of carelessness when using the device can lead to serious injury.
b) Wear personal protective equipment and always wear safety glasses. The wearing of personal protective equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets or ear protectors, appropriate to the type of electrical power tool used and work undertaken, reduces the risk of injury.
c) Avoid unintentional operation of the device. Check that the electrical power tool is switched off before you connect it to the mains, pick it up or carry it. Accidents can happen if you carry the device with your finger on the ON/OFF switch or with the device switched on.
d) Remove any setting tools or spanners before you switch the device on. A tool or spanner left attached to a rotating part of a device can lead to injury.
e) Avoid placing your body in an unnatural position. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. By doing this you will be in a better position to control the device in unforeseen circumstances.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves clear of moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can become trapped in moving parts.
g) If vacuum dust extraction and collection devices are fitted do not forget to check that they are properly connected and correctly used. The use of these devices reduces the hazard presented by dust.
4. Careful handling and use of electrical power tools
a) Do not overload the device. Always use an electrical power tool that is intended for the task you are undertaking. By using the right electrical power tool for the job you will work more safely and achieve a better result.
b) Do not use an electrical power tool if its switch is defective. An electrical power
tool that can no longer be switched on and off is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Pull the mains plug from the socket before you make any adjustments to the device, change accessories or when the device is put away. This precaution is intended to prevent you from unintentionally starting the device.
d) When not in use always ensure that electrical power tools are kept out of reach of children. Do not let anyone use the device if he or she is not familiar with it or has not read the instructions and advice. Electrical power tools are dangerous when they are used by inexperienced people.
e) Look after the device carefully. Check that moving parts are working properly and move freely. Check for any parts that are broken or damaged enough to detrimentally affect the functioning of the device. Have damaged parts repaired before you use the device. Many accidents have their origins in poorly maintained electrical power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools clean and sharp. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
g) Use the electrical power tool, accessories, inserted tools etc. in accordance with these instructions and advice, and the stipulations drawn up for this particular type of device. In doing this, take into account the working conditions and the task in hand. The use of electrical power tools for purposes other than those intended can lead to dangerous situations.

Safety advice relating specifically to this device
Avoiding the danger of injury, fire and damage to your health:
Hold the electrical power tool by the insulated handle surfaces when you are undertaking work where there is the danger of the attachment striking hidden electricity cables or the device's mains lead. Contact with a live wire could cause metal parts of the device to become live and lead to electric shock.
- Securely support the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to grip the workpiece firmly. This is much safer than holding it in your hand.
Always switch on the electrical power tool before placing it against the workpiece. There is also the risk of kickback.
- Keep you hands away from the area of the saw blade. Do not grip the underside of the workpiece. Contact with the saw blade may result in the risk of injury.
Make sure that the base plate lies on the workpiece when sawing.
If a dangerous situation arises, pull the mains plug immediately out of the mains socket.
Always work with the mains lead leading away from the rear of the device.
WARNING! NOXIOUS FUMES! Working with harmful/ noxious dusts represents a risk to the health of the person operating the device and to anyone near the work area.

Wear protective glasses and a dust mask!
Do not saw materials containing substances harmful to health.
Do not saw materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is a known carcinogen.
- When sawing wood and in particular when working on materials that give rise to dusts that are hazardous to health, the device must be connected to a suitable dust extraction device.
Make sure you have adequate ventilation.
- Do not work on moistened materials or damp surfaces.
Switch off the electrical power tool after completing each stage of work but do not with
draw the saw blade 14 from the cut until after it has come to a standstill.
After switching off do not brake the saw blade 14 by pressing it sideways against an object. It could cause the saw blade 14 to be damaged, break or initiate a kickback.
Use only undamaged, defect-free saw blades. Distorted or blunt saw blades can break or cause a kickback.
Always keep the device clean, dry and free of oil or grease.
- Original accessories/ attachments
Use only the accessories and attachments detailed in the operating instructions. The use of inserted tools or accessories other than those recommended in the operating instructions could lead to you suffering an injury.
