II
. GENERAL POWER
TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings and
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
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.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
2) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radia-
tors, 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
-
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 RCD reduces the risk of electrical
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 inuence 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 bat-
tery 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.
4) Remove any adjusting key or wrench be
-
fore 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 cloth
-
ing 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 connec
-
tion of dust extraction and collection fa-
cilities, 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 cor-
rect power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job bet-
ter and safer at the rate for which it was de-
signed.
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 un-
familiar with the power tool or these in-
structions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
5) Maintain power tools. Check for misalign
-
ment or binding of moving parts, break-
age 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 main-
tained 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 in-
structions, taking into account the work-
ing conditions and the work to be per-
formed.
Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
Battery Tool Use and Care
1) Recharge only with the charger specied
by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of bat-
tery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
-
6
-
2) Use power tools only with specically
designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
3) 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 con-
nection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
4) Under 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.
Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
ed repair person using only identical re-
placement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of power tool
is maintained.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR ALL SAWS
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
minimize body exposure, blade binding, or
loss of control.
5)
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
sur-faces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will also make ex-
posed 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 of 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 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 perform-
ance and safety of operation.
IV
. FURTHER SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ALL SAWS
Causes and operator prevention of kick-
back:
- kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
bound or misaligned saw blade, causing
an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the
work-piece toward the operator;
- when the blade is pinched or bound tight
-
ly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls
and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly
back to-ward 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 caus-ing 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
kick-back forces. Position your body to
either side of the blade, but not in line
with the blade.
Kickback could cause the saw to jump back-
wards, but kickback forces can be controlled
by the operator, if proper precautions are
taken.
2) When blade is binding, or when interrupt
-
ing a cut for any reason, release the trig-
ger and hold the saw motionless in the
material until the blade comes to a com-
plete stop. Never attempt to remove the
saw from the work or pull the saw back-
-
7
-
ward while the blade is in motion or kick-
back may occur.
Investigate and take corrective actions to
eliminate the cause of blade binding.
3) When restarting a saw in the workpiece,
center 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 kick-
back from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
4) 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.
5) Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades pro-
duce 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 making a “plunge
cut” into existing walls or other blind
areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that
can cause kickback.

.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THIS SAW
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 should be retracted manual
-
ly 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.

.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Do not use any abrasive wheels.
2) Wear a dust mask, if the work causes
dust.
3) Use saw blades recommended by Manu
-
facture.
4) Wear ear protectors when using the tool for
extended periods.
5) The risk of kickback increases as the bat
-
tery pack discharges.
6) Be sure to inspect material. Avoid cutting
other different material.
7) Be careful not to drop the tool.
8) Never swing the tool.
9) Never cover the ventilation slots, and keep
them free from dust or other material.
10) Do not clamp the tool in a vise. Never cut
with the tool held upside down in a vise.
This is extremely dangerous and can lead
to serious accidents.
11) Never wear knitted gloves.
12) Be sure no one is below when using the
tool in high locations.
13) Do not touch the blade immediately after
operation. It may be hot and could burn
your skin.
14) Do not touch material after it has been cut.
Cut material may be very hot.
15) Do not use cutting oil. This use of cutting
oil may cause a fire.
16) Do not cut workpieces covered or stained
with gas, oil, solvents, thinners, etc.
Exposure to these materials may damage
the transparent guard.
17) Do not remove the transparent and lower
guards. If the transparent and lower guards
is damaged or missing, return tool to
authorized service center for replacement.

For Proper Use (Further Detail)
WARNING
To prevent the risk of serious personal injury:
l It is important to use an appropriate device
to hold the material being cut properly, and
to hold the tool firmly with both hands to
prevent loss of control which could cause
personal injury.
•
Figure 14 shows proper cutting position.
• Note that hands are kept away from cutting
area.
• Make sure bystanders are away from work
area and from underneath of workpiece.
• When cutting, do not try to hold the mate-
rial with your hand.
Cutting large sheets;
Support large sheets. Be sure to set the depth
of the cut so that you only cut through the
workpiece, not through the supports. (See
Fig. 15)
Large sheets sag or bend if they are not cor-
rectly supported. If you attempt to cut without
levelling and properly supporting the work-
piece, the blade will tend to bind, causing
kickback. (See Fig. 16)
•
Don’t support the material away from the cut.
Cutting thin or corrugated materials;
Cut thin and corrugated materials at least 25
mm (1") from the edge of the workpiece to
avoid injury or damage to the tool caused by
thin strips of metal being pulled into the upper
guard.
•
Use sharp blades only. Clean and sharp blades
minimize stalling and kickback.

WARNING
To prevent the risk of serious personal injury:
• When making an incomplete cut or cutting is interrupted, or blade is binding or tool is stalling;
release the power switch immediately and hold the tool motionless in the material until the blade
comes to a complete stop.
• To avoid kickback, never attempt to remove the tool from the work or pull the tool backward while
the blade is in motion. Make sure the blade has come to a complete stop, then remove tool from
cut.
• To resume cutting, start tool, allow the blade to reach full speed, reenter the cut slowly and resume
cutting.
1. Place the wider part of the shoe on the part of the work piece which is solidly supported (See Fig.
17), never on the section that will fall off when the cut is made. (See Fig. 18)
Hold the tool firmly to prevent loss of control. Working carelessly can cause severe personal injury.
2. Make sure the blade stops.
Even though your tool has a brake, before setting the tool down, make sure the blade has come to
a complete stop and the lower guard has closed.
3. Do not use if anything seem unusual. Remove battery pack immediately.
If the tool body becomes very hot, or does not work properly, remove the battery pack and do not
use. Have it checked by an authorized service center.
WARNING
To prevent the risk of serious personal injury or fire, do not try to repair the tool by yourself. Never
disassemble or modify the tool body. There are no user-repairable parts inside.
4. NEVER ALLOW THE TOOL TO COME IN CONTACT WITH YOUR BODY.
After completing a cut, do not allow the tool to brush against your leg or side.
Since the lower guard is retractable, it could catch on your clothing and expose the blade. Keep
clothing away from tool. Be aware of the exposed blade sections that exist in both the upper and
lower guard areas.
WARNING
Because cutting metal creates sparks;
• Always use safety goggles.
• Do not use tool near any flammable substance or in an area where flammable substances are
used. Fire and burn injury could result.
5. Never engage the spindle lock while blade is running, or engage in an effort to stop the tool. Never
turn the switch on when the spindle lock is engaged. Serious damage to your tool will result.
