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.
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.
Battery tool use and care
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.
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery
▶
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
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.
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.
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.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
▶
temperature above 130° C (265 °F) may cause explosion.
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.
Service
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.
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
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.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below
▶
the workpiece.
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.
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.
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.
When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut
▶
and reduces the chance of blade binding.
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.
