WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
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. P ower 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 ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.
Use of a GFCI 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 energizing 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 jewelry. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry 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.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore tool-safety principles. A careless
action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
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.

GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool operation. If damaged,
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean,
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
Safety instructions for all saws
1) Cutting procedures
a)
Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing.
If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece Less than
d) Never hold the workpiece in your hands or across your
leg while cutting. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform.
It is important to support the work properly to minimize body
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold the 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
could give the operator an electric shock.
f) When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This
improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
g) Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus
round) of arbor holes. Blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run off-center, causing loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The
blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw,
2) Kickback causes and related warnings
– Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound,
or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw
– When the blade is pinched or jammed tightly by the
kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction
– If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut,
the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top
surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the
