Starting operation

  • Do not stand in line with the saw blade in front of the power tool. Always stand to the side of the saw blade. This protects your body against possible kickback.
  • Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the rotating saw blade.
  • Do not reach one arm across the other when in front of the tool arm.

  • To start, press the on/off switch (17) and keep it pressed.

Note: For safety reasons, the on/off switch (17) cannot be locked; it must remain pressed throughout operation.

Only by pressing the locking lever (1) can the tool arm be guided downwards.

  • For sawing, you must therefore press the locking lever (1) in addition to pressing the On/Off switch (17).

The electronic soft start limits the torque when the power tool is switched on and increases the service life of the motor.

  • To switch off, release the on/off switch (17).
