GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING!

Please read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work Area

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas will 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 bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distraction can
cause you to loose 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 grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

3. Don’t 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 to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged cords should be
replaced immediately by qualified repair personnel. Damaged cords will increase the risk of
electric shock.

5. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor heavy duty extension cord and use in
conjunction with a residual currect device (RCD).

6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unvoidable, use a residual currect device(RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

7. Recommendation for the use of a residual current device with a rated residual current of 30 mA
or less.

Personal Safety

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use the tool while 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. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothes or jewellery. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothes, and gloves away from moving parts.

3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your
finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on may invite accidents.

4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is
left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

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

6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Ordinary eye or sun
glasses are NOT suitable for eye protection.

Tool Use and Care

1. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of
control.

2. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

3. Do not use the tool if the switch cannot be turned on or off. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired before use.

4. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustment, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures can reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.

Owner’s Manual

5. Store idle tools out of reach of children or other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.

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

7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

8. Some accessories suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.
Please check all accessories to be used are suitable.

Service

1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Warning: Keep hands away from the cutting area and blade. NEVER place your hands behind the saw
blade since kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards over your hand. Keep your body
positioned to either side of the saw blade.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Check the lower guard for proper closing before each use. If the saw is accidentally dropped,
the lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the lower guard lever and make
sure it can move freely and does not touch the blade or any other parts in all angles and
depths of cutting. Do not operate the saw if the lower guard does not move and close freely.
Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position.

2. 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.

3. 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.
