entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e. W

hen operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord

suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f. If

operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,

use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use

of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

a. St

ay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power

tools may result in serious personal injury.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

a. R

echarge only with the charger specied by the

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery

pack may create a risk of re when used with another battery pack.

b. U

se power tools only with specically designated battery

packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of

injury and re.

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 re.

d. Unde

r abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause

irritation or burns.

e. Do

not use battery pack or tool that is damaged or

modied. Damaged or modied batteries may exhibit

unpredictable behaviour resulting in re, explosion or risk of injury.

f. Do

not expose a battery pack or tool to re or excessive

temperature. Exposure to re or temperature above 130 °C

may cause explosion.

g. Fo

llow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specied in the instructions. Charging improperly or at

temperatures outside the specied range may damage the battery and increase the risk of re.

SERVICE

a. Ha

ve your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that

the safety of the power tool is maintained.

b. N

ever service damaged battery packs. Service of battery

packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or

authorized service providers.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL SAWSCUTTING 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.

Page 7

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 and 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.

h. 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

a. 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.

b. 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.

c. 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:

a. Maintain a rm 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. Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards,

but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper

precautions are taken.

b. When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for

any reason, release the on/off switch 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 piece or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take

corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.

c. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre 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.

d. 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.

e. Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or

improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive

friction, blade binding and kickback.

f. 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.

g. Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other

blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.

guard-Low guard function

• Use the provided blade for cutting wood only, never cut metal or

plastic.

a. 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.

b. Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard

and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. The lower guard may operate sluggishly

due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.

c. The lower guard may be retracted manually only for special

cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound cuts.” Raise the lower guard by retracting the blade guard lever 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.

d. Always observe that the lower guard is covering the

blade before placing the saw down on bench or oor.

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.

• If you working for long periods, the blade may overheat. Take 15 minutes pause to let the blade cool down.

a. Only use saw blades if you have knowledge of how to use and

handle them.

b. Only use saw blades that are marked with a speed equal or

higher than the speed marked on the tool.

c. Do not use working saw blades which are cracked. Scrap saw

blades whose bodies are cracked. Repairing is not permitted.

d. Clamping surfaces shall be cleaned to remove dirt, grease, oil

and water.

e. Do not use loose rings or sleeves to «make up» bore sizes on

saw blades.

f. Open the lower guard and remove the saw blade to clear the

inside of the lower and upper guards if necessary. Remove

stubborn dirt with high pressure air (max. 3 bar). g. Ensure xed rings are parallel to each other. h. Handle saw blades with care. Store them in the original

packaging or in special boxes. Wear gloves for handling and to

reduce injuries. i. Check the function of the lower guard by raising and releasing

the retraction lever. Ensure all guards function well before using

saw blades.

Saw blade safety warnings

To avoid overheating the blade tips:

• Use only blades recommended which comform to EN847-1.

• Pay attention to the maximum rotation speed. Never exceed the

maximum speed indicated on the blade.

• Never use damaged or dull blades. You are not authorized to repair the blade.

j. Before use, make sure that the saw blade complies with

technical requirements of the power tool and is correctly xed.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR BATTERY

Do not connect the positive terminal and negative terminal of

the battery to each other with any metal object (such as wire).

Do not carry or store battery together with necklaces, hairpins

or other metal objects.

Page 9

Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a

hammer, step on the battery or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.

Do not solder directly onto the battery.

periods boost charge the battery once per year to prevent over

discharge.

The following information applies to professional users only but is good practice for all users:

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNING FOR CONSTRUCTION DUST

The updated Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1st October 2012 now also targets to reduce the risks associated with silica, wood and gypsumdusts. Construction workers are one of the at-risk groups within this because of the dust that they breathe: silica dust is not just a nuisance; it is a real risk to your lungs!

Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder/Chronic obstructive pulmonary

disease (COPD) And breathing in ne particles of wood dust can

lead to the development of Asthma. The risk of lung disease is linked to people who regularly breathe construction dust over a period of time, not on the odd occasion.

To protect the lung, the COSHH Regulations sets a limit on the

amount of these dusts that you can breathe (called a Workplace Exposure Limit or WEL) when averaged over a normal working

day. These limits are not a large amount of dust: when compared to a penny it is tiny – like a small pinch of salt: This limit is the legal maximum; the most you can breathe after the right controls have been used.

HOW TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF DUST?

1. Reduce the amount of cutting by using the best sizes of building products. Use a less powerful tool e.g. a block cutter instead of angle grinder.

2. Using a different method of work altogether – e.g. using a nail

gun to direct fasten cable trays instead of drilling holes rst.

3. Please always work with approved safety equipment, such

as those dust masks that specially designed to lter out

microscopic particles and use the dust extraction facility at all time.

For more information please see the HSE website: http://www.hse. gov.uk/construction or http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/cis69.pdf

Silica is a natural mineral present in large amounts in things like sand, sandstone and granite. It is also commonly found in many construction materials such as concrete and mortar. The silica is

broken into very ne dust (also known as Respirable Crystalline

Silica or RCS) during many common tasks such as cutting, drilling

and grinding. Breathing in very ne particles of crystalline silica

can lead to the development of: Lung cancer Silicosis Chronic

Page 10

WARNING! Some dust particles created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drill and other construction jobs contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated timber.

• Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
