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 tools 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.
Battery tool use and care (only used for battery
tools)
a.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
b.
Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
c. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects, that
can make a connection from one terminal to
another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
d.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.
e. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
f.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
g. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions.
Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the specified
range may damage the battery and increase the risk
of fire.
6.
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.
b. Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Safety Instructions for All Saws
Cutting Procedures
a. 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.
b. Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The guard
cannot protect you from the blade below
the workpiece.
c. 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.
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.
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 arbour holes.
Blades
that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw
will run off-centre, causing loss of control.
