Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control. [. . . ] Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. In general, higher speeds will allow you to cut workpieces faster but the service life of the blade will be reduced.

NOTE: • Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp. Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it may lower the illumination. ASSEMBLY CAUTION: • Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool. 4, 5 & 6) CAUTION: • Always clean out all chips or foreign matter adhering to the blade and/or blade holder. Failure to do so may cause insufficient tightening of the blade, resulting in a serious personal injury. € Do not touch the blade or the workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin. Failure to do so may cause a serious injury. CAUTION: • The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 5 and back to 1. Turn the tool on and wait until the blade attains full speed. Then rest the tool base flat on the workpiece and gently move the tool forward along the previously marked cutting line. When cutting curves, advance the tool very slowly. 8) Rip fence set (optional accessory) CAUTION: • Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing or removing accessories. Bevel cutting CAUTION: • Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before tilting the base. With the base tilted, you can make bevel cuts at any angle between 0° and 45° (left or right). 9) Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hex wrench. Move the base so that the bolt is positioned in the center of the bevel slot in the base. 10) Tilt the base until the desired bevel angle is obtained. The V-notch of the gear housing indicates the bevel angle by graduations. Then tighten the bolt firmly to secure the base. [. . . ] Cutouts Cutouts can be made with either of two methods A or B. A) Boring a starting hole: For internal cutouts without a lead-in cut from an edge, pre-drill a starting hole 12 mm or more in diameter. Insert the blade into this hole to start your cut. 13) 8 Guide rail adapter set (accessory) When cutting parallel and uniform width or cutting straight, the use of the guide rail and the guide rail adapter will assure the production of fast and clean cuts.
