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
4
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES & INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting area and blade.
Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor
housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be
cut by the blade.
• Do not reach underneath the work. The guard cannot
protect you from the blade below the work.
• Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece.
Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible
below the workpiece.
• Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do
not operate saw if lower guard does not move freely and
close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the
open position. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard
may be bent. Raise the lower guard and make sure it moves
freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all
angles and depths of cut.
• Check the operation and condition of the lower guard
spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating properly,
they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a
buildup of debris.
• Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special
cuts such as "plunge cuts" and "compound cuts." Raise
lower guard by retracting handle and as soon as blade enters
the material, the lower guard must be released. For all other
sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.
• Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade
and that the blade has fully stopped before placing saw
down on bench or floor. An unprotected, rotating blade will
cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its
path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after
switch is released.
• NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands or across
your body. It is important to support the work properly to
minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will
also make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
shock the operator.
• Use the right tool. Do not force small tools to do the job
of a heavy duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes not
intended; for example do not use circular saws to cut tree
limbs or logs.
