POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WORK AREA
1. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
2. DO NOT operate this saw in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. The saw may create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating this saw. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. The saw plug must match the outlet. NEVER modify the plug in any way. DO NOT use adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
2. DO NOT expose the saw to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the saw will increase the risk of electric shock.
3. DO NOT abuse the cable. NEVER use it for carrying, pulling or unplugging the saw. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cables increase the risk of electric shock.
4. When operating the saw outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
5. If operating the saw in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating this saw. DO NOT use this saw while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating this saw may result in personal injury.
2. Use safety equipment. ALWAYS wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying this saw with your finger on the switch or plugging in invites accidents.
4. Remove any wrench before turning the saw on. A wrench left attached to a rotating part may result in personal injury.
5. DO NOT overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the saw in unexpected situations.
6
Page 7
6. Dress properly. DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. DO NOT, under any circumstances look directly into the laser guide.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. DO NOT force the saw. Use the correct accessories for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate which it was designed for.
2. DO NOT use the saw if the switch does not turn it on and/or off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and SHOULD NOT be used until it has been repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source before changing accessories, or storing the saw. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the saw accidentally.
4. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and DO NOT allow persons unfamiliar with the saw or these instructions to operate it. Power tools can be dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the saw’s operation. If damaged, have the saw repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Use the power tool and accessories in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the saw for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation.
7. The performance of this saw may vary, depending upon variations in line voltage. Extension cable usage may also affect performance.
SERVICE
1. Have your saw serviced by qualified service personnel using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the saw is maintained.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL SAWS
1. Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on the 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 work piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. 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. ALWAYS hold the saw by the insulated handles when performing an operation (see page 13). Contact with a live wire may make exposed metal parts of the saw live and shock the operator.
6. ALWAYS use blades with the correct size and shape of arbor holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
7. 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.
8. DO NOT operate the saw if the guards are damaged or do not operate correctly.
9. NEVER use the saw with the guards removed.
CIRCULAR SAW BLADE SAFETY WARNINGS
1. The maximum speed listed for the saw (see page 3) should not exceed the maximum speed marked on the blade.
2. Cracked circular saw blades should be scrapped (repairing is not permitted). Composite (tipped) circular saw blades, where the tip dimension is reduced to less than 1mm, should be taken out of service.
3. Fastening screws and nuts should be tightened using the tools supplied.
4. Clamping surfaces should be cleaned to remove dirt, grease, oil and water.
5. DO NOT use loose rings or bushes to “make up” bore sizes on circular saw blades.
PREVENTION OF KICKBACK
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator.
8
Page 9
When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator.
If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator. Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/ or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
1. Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade.
2. When the blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. NEVER attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion as kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
3. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged with the material. If the blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
4. Support large panels to minimise 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.
5. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking screws must be tight and secure before making a cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
6. Use extra caution when making a “plunge cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
