SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR USING ALL POWER TOOLS

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING: * Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the

warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, ﬁ re 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 ﬂ ammable

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. Unmodiﬁ ed 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.

NOTE: The term “residual current device (RCD)” may be replaced by the term “ground fault

circuit interrupter (GFCl)” or “earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)”.

English

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 inﬂ uence 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 ﬁ nger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

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 aﬀ ect 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 diﬀ erent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

SERVICE

1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualiﬁ ed repair person using only identical replacement

parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.specially designed for

your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.

English

Safety instructions for all saws

CUTTING PROCEDURES

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.

NOTE: For curcular saws with 140 mm or smaller diameter blades, the “Keep your

second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing“ may be omitted.

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 workpiece 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 blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor

holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically,

causing loss of control.

8. 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.

SPECIAL SAFETY RULES FOR KICKBACK

1. Kickback causes and related warnings:

●

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.

2. 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:

●

Maintain a ﬁ 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.

English

●

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

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 saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf and

check that the 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.

●

Support large panels to minimize 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 the cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and

kickback.

●

Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other blind areas. The

protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.

LOWER GUARD FUNCTION

1. Check 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 lower guard lifting lever 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 build-up of debris.

3. The lower guard shall be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “plunge

cuts” and “compound cuts”. Raise the lower guard by the lower guard lifting 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.

4. Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing the saw

down on bench or ﬂ 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.

OTHERS

1. ALWAYS wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,

bracelets or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts to lead personal injury.

Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

2. ALWAYS wear eye protection. Any power tool can throw foreign objects into eyes and could

cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (not glasses) that comply

with ANSI Safety standard Z87.1. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact–resistant lenses.

They ARE NOT safety glasses.

English

3. Wear suitable personal protective equipment when necessary, this could include:

● hearing protection to reduce the risk of induced hearing loss;

● eye protection;

● respiratory protection which are approved by NIOSH/OSHA to reduce the risk of

inhalation of harmful dust;

● gloves for handling saw blades (saw blades shall be carried in a holder wherever

practicable) and rough material.

4. Keep alert. Never operate the saw when you feel tired or when you are under the the

inﬂ uence of any drugs, alcohol or medicationn that could aﬀ ect your ability to use the tool

properly.

5. Keep the working environment well ventilated. Some dust created by power sanding,

sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals to cause

cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Therefore, work in a well ventilated area,

and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially

designed to ﬁ lter out microscopic particles.

6. Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and

water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption

of harmful chemicals.

7. To prevent from ﬁ re or toxic reactio, never use gasoline, naphtha acetone, lacquer thinner

or similar highly volatile solvents to clean the saw.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND SYMBOLS

1. Adjustments. Before cutting be sure depth and bevel adjustments are tight.

2. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from work piece before cutting.

3. When operating the saw, keep the cord away from the cutting area and position it

so that it will not be caught on the workpiece during the cutting operation.

Operate with proper hand support, proper workpiece support, and supply cord routing away

from the work area.

WARNING:

It is important to support the work piece properly and to hold the saw ﬁ rmly to prevent

loss of control which could cause personal injury. Fig. 1 illustrates typical hand support

of the saw.

HAND SUPPORT WORKPIECE SUPPORT,

AND SUPPLY CORD ROUTING.

English

4. Place the wider portion of the saw base on that part of the work piece which is

solidly supported, not on the section that will fall oﬀ when the cut is made.

As examples, Fig. 2 illustrates the RIGHT way to cut oﬀ the end of board, and Fig. 3 the

WRONG way. If the work piece is short or small, clamp it down.

DON’T TRY TO HOLD SHORT PLACES BY HAND!

Fig. 2 Fig. 3

5. Never attempt to saw with the saw held upside down in a vise.

This is extremely dangerous and can lead to serious accidents. (Fig. 4)

Fig. 4

6. Before setting the tool down after completing a cut, be sure that the lower blade

guard has closed and the blade has come to a complete stop.

7. Never touch moving parts.

Never place your hands, ﬁ ngers or other body parts near the tool’s moving parts.

8. Never operate without all guards in place.

Never operate this tool without all guards or safety features in place and in proper working

order. If maintenance or servicing requires the removal of a guard or safety feature, be sure

to replace the guard or safety feature before resuming operation of the tool.
