a
preliminary assessment
of
exposure.
WARNING:
The vibration emission during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared
emission value
depending on
the
ways
in
which
the
tool is used.
WARNING:
Be
sure
to
identify
safety
measures to
protect the operator that are based on an estimation
of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking
account
of
all
parts
of
the
operating cycle
such
as
the times when the tool is
switched off and when it is running idle in addition to
the trigger time).

result
in
electric
shock,
fire
and/or
serious
injury.
Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.

Cordless Metal Cutter safety
warnings
Cutting procedures
1.
DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting
area and the blade. Keep your second hand
on auxiliary handle, or motor housing.
If both
hands are holding
the
saw,
they
cannot
be
cut
by
the
blade.
2.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The
guard
cannot
protect
you
from
the
blade
below
the
workpiece.
3.
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of
the workpiece.
Less than a full tooth of the
blade teeth should be visible below the
workpiece.
4.
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
minimise body
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
5.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.
6.
When ripping, always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide.
This
improves
the
accuracy of cut and reduces
the chance of blade binding.
7.
Always use blades with correct size and
shape (diamond versus round) of arbour
holes.
Blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run off-centre, causing
loss of control.
8.
Never use damaged or incorrect blade
washers or bolt.
The blade washers and bolt
were specially
designed for
your
saw,
for
optimum
performance
and
safety
of
operation.
Kickback causes and related warnings
— kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
jammed
or
misaligned saw
blade,
causing
an
uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the
workpiece toward the operator;
— when the
blade
is
pinched
or
jammed
tightly
by
the
kerf closing down, the blade
