General Power Tool Safety Warnings
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. 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 a 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 and clothing
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.
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.
c)
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, 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 and accessories. 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.
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 and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
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.
Specific Safety
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 specified on the nameplate
of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specified 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 fingers. 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 Specifications 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 first 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.
