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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
• Never use the tool when cord is damaged; have it
replaced by a qualified person
• Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a
capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps)
• This tool should not be used by people under the age
of 16 years
• Do not work materials containing asbestos
(asbestos is considered carcinogenic)
• Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some
wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful
(contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic
reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or
bystanders); wear a dust mask and work with a dust
extraction device when connectable
• Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic
(such as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunction
with additives for wood conditioning; wear a dust
mask and work with a dust extraction device when
connectable
• Follow the dust-related national requirements for the
materials you want to work with
• Always disconnect plug from power source before
making any adjustment or changing any accessory
ACCESSORIES
• SKIL can assure flawless functioning of the tool only
when original accessories are used
• Do not use a dull or damaged blade (bent blades can
break easily or cause kickback)
BEFORE USE
• Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the
voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool
• Check the functioning of the tool before each use and,
in case of a defect, have it repaired immediately by a
qualified person; never open the tool yourself
• Remove all obstacles on top of as well as underneath
the cutting path before you start cutting
• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and
other elements in your workpiece; remove them before
you start working
• Use clamps or other equipment to secure and
support the workpiece (holding the workpiece in your
hand or against your body may lead to loss of control)
• Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines
or call the local utility company for assistance
(contact with electric lines can lead to fire or electrical
shock; damaging a gas line can result in an explosion;
penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage or
an electrical shock)
DURING USE
• The noise level when working can exceed 85 dB(A);
wear ear protection
• Wear protective goggles when working with materials
which produce chips
• Always keep the cord away from moving parts of the
tool; direct the cord to the rear, away from the tool
• If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do
not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the plug
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord (a cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock)
• Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade;
keep your second hand at the front w a / on barrel
grip H w b (if both hands are holding the saw, they can
not be cut by the blade)
• Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across
your leg (it is important to support the work properly
to minimise body exposure, blade binding, or loss of
control)
• Do not reach underneath the workpiece (the
proximity of the blade to your hand is hidden from your
sight)
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
OUTDOOR USE
• When used outdoors, connect the tool via a fault
current (FI) circuit breaker with a triggering current
of 30 mA maximum, and only use an extension cord
which is intended for outdoor use and equipped with a
splashproof coupling-socket
AFTER USE
• Use protective gloves when removing the blade
from the tool (the saw blade may be hot after
prolonged use)
• When you put away the tool, switch off the motor and
ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete
standstill
