General Safety

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced, physical or mental capabilities or lack of experience or knowledge unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Track Plunge Saw Safety
WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point receptacle,
outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that speciied on the nameplate of
the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that speciied for the tool can result in
serious injury to the user, and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a
power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
• Do not allow anyone under the age of 18 years to operate this saw
• When operating the saw, use safety equipment including safety goggles or shield, ear
protection, dust mask and protective clothing including safety gloves
• Hand-held power tools may produce vibration. Vibration can cause disease. Gloves may
help to maintain good blood circulation in the ingers. Hand-held tools should not be used
for long periods without a break
• Always use recommended blades with correct size and shape of arbor holes e.g. diamond
or round. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically,
causing loss of control
• Whenever possible, use a vacuum dust extraction system to control dust/waste
• Power tools must always be held by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation, ensuring protection if the cutting tool makes contact with its own cord or hidden
wiring. Contact with a 'live' wire will make exposed metal parts of the power tool 'live' and
shock the operator if the insulated gripping surfaces are not used
• Ensure hands are kept away from the cutting area and blade. Keep one hand on the
auxiliary handle or motor housing. If both hands are holding the tool they cannot be cut
by the blade
• Do not attempt to cut material thicker than detailed in the Speciications section of this
manual
• Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece i.e. less than a full tooth of the
blade should be visible below the workpiece
• Ensure that work is correctly supported. Large panels may sag under their own weight and
bind the saw blade. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, close to the
line of cut and near the edge of the panel
• Ensure all supports and power cables are completely clear of the cutting path
• Always secure the workpiece to a stable platform, ensuring body exposure is minimised,
avoiding blade binding, or loss of control
• For accuracy of cut, and to avoid blade binding, always use a rip fence or straight edge
guide
• Never hold a workpiece in your hand or across your legs whilst cutting
• Always stand at an angle to the tool when operating
• Be aware that the blade will project from the underside of the workpiece
• Do not reach beneath the workpiece where the guard cannot protect you from the blade
• Note the direction of rotation of the motor and the blade
• Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and other embedded objects prior to starting
work
• Do not apply any sideways or twisting force to the blade whilst cutting
• If a cut does not extend to the edge of the workpiece, or if the blade binds in the cut, allow
the blade to come to a complete stop and lift the saw out of the workpiece
• Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before irst disconnecting the machine from power
• Do not move the saw backwards at any time whilst cutting
• Beware of projected waste. In some situations, waste material may be projected at speed
from the cutting tool. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that other people in the work
area are protected from the possibility of projected waste
• If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete the process and switch off before
diverting your attention
• The blade bolt and washers were specially designed for your saw. For optimum
performance and safety of operation never use damaged or incorrect bolt/blade washers
• Check the lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if the
lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard
into the open position. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the lower guard may be bent.
Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does
not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut
• Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before resting the saw on a
surface after use. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to move backwards,
cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after the
trigger switch is released
• Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other ixings have not loosened, tighten where
necessary
The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any use other than those mentioned in
this manual will be considered a case of misuse. The user, and not the manufacturer, shall be
liable for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse.
