WARNING!

u The vibration level varies in accordance with

the use of the power tool and may be higher

than the value speciﬁed in these instructions in

some cases. There is a risk of underestimation

of the vibration load if the power tool is

used regularly in this manner. Try to keep the

vibration loads as low as possible. Measures

to reduce the vibration load are, e.g. wearing

gloves and limiting the working time. Wherein

all states of operation must be included (e.g.

times when the power tool is switched oﬀ and

times where the power tool is switched on but

running without load).

NOTE

u The vibration level speciﬁed in these

instructions has been measured in

accordance with a standardised measuring

procedure speciﬁed in EN 60745 and can

be used to make equipment comparisons. The

speciﬁed vibration emission value can also be

used to make an initial exposure estimate.

Safety warnings

Q General power tool safety

warnings

WARNING!

u Read all safety warnings and all

instructions. Failure to follow the warnings

and instructions may result in electric shock,

ﬁre and / or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or 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

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

4. 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.

5. When 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.

6. 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

1. 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.

2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure

the switch is in the oﬀ-position before connecting to power source and / or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your

ﬁnger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

8 GB / IE / NI

4. 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.

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

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. If devices are provided for the

connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of

dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

Power tool use and care

1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do

the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Maintain power tools. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may aﬀect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained power tools.

6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

7. 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.

Service

1. 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.

Q Counter-rotating double blade

saw warnings

Safety instructions for all saws – Cutting procedures

1. 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.

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 minimise body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.

5. Hold the power tool by insulated

gripping surfaces only, 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 could give the operator an electric shock.

6. When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.

7. Always use saw 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 eccentrically, causing loss of control.

9 GB / IE / NI

8. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts. The blade

washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.

Further safety instructions for all saws – 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;

¢ 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. Kickback

could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.

2. When 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 backwards while the blade is in motion or 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 into the material.

If saw 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. Do not use dull or damaged blades.

Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.

6. 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.

7. Use extra caution when sawing into

existing walls or other blind areas.

The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.

Safety instructions for circular saws with inner pendulum guard - Lower guard function

1. Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If saw is

accidentally dropped, 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.

2. Check the operation 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 build-up of debris.

3. Lower guard may 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.

4. Always observe that the lower

guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on bench or ﬂoor.

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.
