Safety Instructions For Circular Saws - Berner BACCS 12V Manual Original

ures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
u
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to oper-
ate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
u
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 be-
fore use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
u
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
u
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.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
u
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unex-
pected situations.
Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specified by
u
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk of
fire when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically desig-
u
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
u
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects, that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a
fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejec-
u
ted from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
u
aged or modified. Damaged or modified bat-
teries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour res-
ulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
u
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.

Follow all charging instructions and do not
u
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
English
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
u
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
Never service damaged battery packs. Ser-
u
vice of battery packs should only be performed
by the manufacturer or authorized service pro-
viders.

Safety instructions for circular saws

Cutting procedures
English
DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting
u
area and the blade. If both hands are holding
the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The
u
guard cannot protect you from the blade below
the workpiece.
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of
u
the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the
blade teeth should be visible below the work-
piece.
Never hold the workpiece in your hands or
u
across your leg while cutting. Secure the
workpiece to a stable platform. It is important
to support the work properly to minimise body
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
u
faces, when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a "live" wire will also make ex-
posed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
When ripping always use a rip fence or
u
straight edge guide. This improves the accur-
acy of cut and reduces the chance of blade
binding.
Always use blades with correct size and
u
shape (diamond versus round) of arbour
holes. Blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run off-centre, causing
loss of control.
Never use damaged or incorrect blade wash-
u
ers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were
specially designed for your saw, for optimum
performance and safety of operation.
