GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the
warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power
tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Work area safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
4. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
5. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
7. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
8. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
GEA002-3
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Personal Safety
9. Stay 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 influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
10. 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.
11. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
12. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
14. 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.
15. If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust-related
hazards.
Power tool use and care
16. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
2
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
17. Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
18. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack 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.
19. 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.
20. Maintain power tools. 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.
21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
22. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions and
in the manner intended for the particular type
of power tool, 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.
Battery tool use and care
23. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack
into power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
24. 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.
25. Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
26. 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.
27. 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.
SERVICE
28. 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.
29. Follow instruction for lubricating and
changing accessories.
30. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
FOR TOOL
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to metal cutter safety rules. If you use this tool
unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious
personal injury.
DANGER:
1. 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 tool, they cannot be cut by 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 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 minimize body exposure, blade
binding, or loss of control.
5. Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and shock the operator.
6. When ripping always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy
of cut and reduces the chance for 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 tool will run eccentrically, causing loss of
control.
8. Never use damaged or incorrect blade
washers or bolts. The blade washers and bolt
3
were specially designed for your tool, for optimum
performance and safety of operation.
9. Causes and operator prevention of kickback;
− Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
bound or misaligned blade, causing an
uncontrolled tool to lift up and out of the
workpiece toward the operator.
− 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
workpiece causing the blade to climb out of
the kerf and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
• Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the
tool 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 tool to
jump backwards, but kickback forces can be
controlled by the operator, if proper
precautions are taken.
• When blade is binding, or when
interrupting a cut for any reason, release
the trigger and hold the tool motionless in
the material until the blade comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove
the tool from the work or pull the tool
backward while the blade is in motion or
KICKBACK may occur. Investigate and take
corrective actions to eliminate the cause of
blade binding.
• When restarting a tool in the workpiece, center
the blade in the kerf and check that blade
teeth are not engaged into the material. If
blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback
from the workpiece as the tool is restarted.
• 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.
• Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction,
blade binding and kickback.
• Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking
levers must be tight and secure before
making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while
cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
• 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. For plunge cuts, retract lower
guard using retracting handle.
10. Check lower guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate the tool if lower
guard does not move freely and close instantly.
Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the
open position. If tool is accidentally dropped,
lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard
with the retracting lever and make sure it moves
freely and does not touch the blade or any other
part, in all angles and depths of cut.
To check lower guard, open lower guard by hand,
then release and watch guard closure. Also check
to see that retracting handle does not touch tool
housing. Leaving blade exposed is VERY
DANGEROUS and can lead to serious personal
injury.
11. Check the operation and condition of the lower
guard spring. If the guard and the spring are
not operating properly, they must be serviced
before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly
due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a
buildup of debris.
12. Lower guard should be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts"
and "compound cuts." Raise lower guard by
retracting handle and as soon as blade enters
the material, the lower guard must be released.
For all other sawing, the lower guard should
operate automatically.
13. Always observe that the lower guard is
covering the blade before placing tool down
on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting
blade will cause the tool 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.
14. Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on
the blade.
15. DANGER:
Do not attempt to remove cut material when
blade is moving.
CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off.
16. Place the wider portion of the tool base on that
part of the workpiece which is solidly
supported, not on the section that will fall off
when the cut is made.
17. Never attempt to make a cut with the tool held
upside down in a vise. This is extremely
dangerous and can lead to serious accidents.

18. Wear safety goggles and hearing protection
during operation.
19. Always use blades recommended in this
manual. Do not use any abrasive wheels.

completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your cutting line straight and
your speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly
follow your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or
force the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the
blade and lead to dangerous kickback and possible
serious injury. Release switch, wait for blade to stop and
then withdraw tool. Realign tool on new cut line, and
start cut again. Attempt to avoid positioning which
exposes operator to chips and particles being ejected
from the tool. Use eye protection to help avoid injury.

Règles de sécurité générales
AVERTISSEMENT! Veuillez lire l'ensemble des
présentes instructions. Il y a risque de choc électrique,
d'incendie et/ou de blessure grave si toutes les
instructions énumérées ci-dessous ne sont pas
respectées. Le terme ≪outil électrique≫ qui figure sur
tous les avertissements énumérés ci-dessous fait
référence à un outil électrique branché sur une prise de
courant (par un cordon d'alimentation) ou alimenté par
batterie (sans fil).
CONSERVEZ CE MODE
D'EMPLOI.
Sécurité de la zone de travail
1. Maintenez la zone de travail propre et bien
éclairée. Les zones de travail encombrées et
sombres ouvrent grande la porte aux accidents.
2. N'utilisez pas les outils électriques dans les
atmosphères explosives, par exemple en
présence de liquides, gaz ou poussières
inflammables. Les outils électriques produisent
des étincelles au contact desquelles la poussière
ou les vapeurs peuvent s'enflammer.
3. Assurez-vous qu'aucun enfant ou curieux ne
s'approche pendant que vous utilisez un outil
électrique. Vous risquez de perdre la maîtrise de
l'outil si votre attention est détournée.
Sécurité en matière d'électricité
4. Les fiches d'outil électrique sont conçues
pour s'adapter parfaitement aux prises de
courant. Ne modifiez jamais la fiche de
quelque façon que ce soit. N'utilisez aucun
adaptateur de fiche sur les outils électriques
avec mise à la terre. En ne modifiant pas les
fiches et en les insérant dans des prises de
courant pour lesquelles elles ont été conçues
vous réduirez les risques de choc électrique.
GEA002-3
5. Évitez tout contact corporel avec les surfaces
mises à la terre, telles que les tuyaux,
radiateurs, cuisinières et réfrigérateurs. Le
risque de choc électrique est plus élevé si votre
corps se trouve mis à la terre.
6. N'exposez pas les outils électriques à la pluie
ou à l'eau. La présence d'eau dans un outil
électrique augmente le risque de choc électrique.
7. Ne maltraitez pas le cordon. N'utilisez jamais
le cordon pour transporter, tirer ou débrancher
l'outil électrique. Maintenez le cordon à l'écart
des sources de chaleur, de l'huile, des objets à
bords tranchants et des pièces en mouvement.
Le risque de choc électrique est plus élevé
lorsque les cordons sont endommagés ou
enchevêtrés.
8. Lorsque vous utilisez un outil électrique à
l'extérieur, utilisez un cordon prolongateur
prévu à cette fin. Les risques de choc électrique
sont moindres lorsqu'un cordon conçu pour
l'extérieur est utilisé.
Sécurité personnelle
9. Restez alerte, attentif à vos mouvements et
faites preuve de bon sens lorsque vous
utilisez un outil électrique. Évitez d'utiliser un
outil électrique si vous êtes fatigué ou si vous
