General Behaviour (see figures E–H)

Always hold the power tool firmly with both hands, with your left hand on the front handle and your right hand on the rear handle. Always grasp the handles with your thumb and finger. Always guide the mains cable to the rear and keep it outside the area of the saw chain and material to be sawn.

Ensure you always have a secure footing when operating the power tool.Hold the power tool slightly to the right of your body.

The saw chain must be running at full speed before coming into contact with the autoclaved aerated concrete. To do this, use the stop (10) to support the power tool on the autoclaved aerated concrete. During sawing, use the stop as a lever.

When sawing heavier autoclaved aerated concrete blocks, reposition the stop at a lower point. To do this, pull the power tool back to release the stop and reposition it at a lower point. Do not remove the power tool from the cut.

Do not press on the saw chain with force, let it run by using the stop (10) to create a slight leverage pressure.

Never operate the power tool with extended arms. Do not attempt to operate the saw in hard-to-reach places or when standing on a ladder. Never saw above shoulder height.

The best sawing results are achieved when the chain speed is not reduced due to overload.

Be careful at the end of the saw cut. As soon as the power tool has cut through, the weight force will change unexpectedly. There is a risk of injury to legs and feet.

Only remove the power tool from the cut with the saw chain running.
