While operating power tools, you should consider
basic safety precautions to avoid the risk of fire,
electric shock and personal injury.
Always read the safety, operating and maintenance
instructions before you start using your power tool.
Keep the instruction manual for future reference.
It is your responsibility to follow these preventive measures
to ensure your own safety. Always operate the circular saw
carefully and responsibly. In using the machine, you accept
full responsibility for any accidents caused to third parties
or their goods during its use.
The power tool may only be used by people who have read
the instruction manual and are familiar with its handling.
Before operating the circular saw for the first time, users
should be instructed by the seller or any other qualified
person on how to use it.
The instruction manual is considered an integral part of the
power tool and must always be provided.
Familiarize yourself with the control devices and use of the
power tool. In particular, the user must know how to quickly
stop the machine.
Stay alert and use common sense while operating a power
tool. A moment of inattention can result in serious injury.
Do not use the circular saw if you are not both physically
and mentally well. Do not operate it while you are tired or
under the influence of medication, drugs or alcohol. If you
have a health problem, ask your doctor if it is safe for you
to use the circular saw before doing so.
Never allow the circular saw to be operated by children,
individuals with limited physical, sensory or mental
abilities, individuals with lack of experience and knowledge
of the machine, or others unfamiliar with the use
instructions.
The circular saw may only be used as stated in this
instruction manual. Any other use, which may be
dangerous and may cause injury to the user or damage to
the power tool, is not permitted.
Do not overload and misuse the power tool. The use of the
power tool for purposes other than those intended, and the
improper use of accessories can result in hazardous
situations.
For safety reasons, any alteration to the circular saw other
than installing blades specifically authorized by the
manufacturer, is prohibited. The warranty on your circular
saw will be voided if you alter it in any way.
You may get information on authorized blades from your
official VITO dealer.
The power tool is double insulated, which means that
all external metal parts are insulated from the
electrical components. Therefore, in accordance with EN
standard, no grounding is required. However, double
insulation does not replace normal safety precautions,
which must be observed when using the power tool.
Do not expose the power tool to rain or use it in wet or moist
environments. The presence of water in a power tool
increases the risk of damage and electric shock to the user.
Only hold the power tool by its insulated surfaces, which
prevent electric shock if the power tool contacts hidden
wires or power cord during operation.
Do not use power tools in explosive environments,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks that can ignite liquids,
gases, or dust.
