▪
When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw
teeth are not engaged into the material. If a saw blade binds, it may walk up or kickback
from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
▪
Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large panels
tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on both
sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.
▪
Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce
narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
▪
Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making
the cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
▪
Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding
blade may cut objects that can cause kickback
▪
Check the lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if the
lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard
into the open position. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the lower guard may be bent.
Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does
not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
▪
Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not
operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly
due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
▪
The lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts"
and "compound cuts". Raise the lower guard by the retracting handle and as soon as the
blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the
lower guard should operate automatically.
▪
Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing the saw down on
bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards,
cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after
switch is released.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES AND
CHARGERS
7.1
Batteries
▪
Never attempt to open for any reason.
▪
Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40 °C.
▪
Charge only at ambient temperatures between 4 °C and 40 °C.
▪
Store your batteries in a cool dry place (5 °C-20 °C). Never store batteries in discharged
state.
▪
It is better for Li-ion batteries to discharge and reload them regularly (at least 4 times a
year). The ideal charge for long-term storage of your Li-ion battery is 40% of capacity.
▪
When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section "Protecting the
environment".
▪
Do not cause short circuits. If connection is made between the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminal directly or via accidental contact with metallic objects, the battery is short circuited
and an intense current will flow causing heat generation which may lead to casing rupture
or fire.
▪
Do not heat. If batteries are heated to above 100 °C, sealing and insulating separators
and other polymer components may be damaged resulting in electrolyte leakage and/or
internal short circuiting leading to heat generation causing rupture or file. Moreover do not
dispose of the batteries in fire, explosion and/or intense burning may result.
▪
Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid on the
battery, proceed as follows:
− Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact.
