GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING:

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations,

and speciﬁcations provided with this power tool.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result

in electric shock, 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

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark

areas invite accidents.

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.

Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

 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. Unmodied plugs and

matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

 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.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of

electric shock.

 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.

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.

If operating a power tool in a damp location is

unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter

(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the

risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

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.

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.

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 nger on the switch or

energising power tools that have the switch on invites

accidents.

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.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance

at all times. This enables better control of the power tool

in unexpected situations.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.

Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in

moving parts.

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.

Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools

allow you to become complacent and ignore tool

safety principles. A careless action can cause severe

injury within a fraction of a second.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

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.

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.

Disconnect the plug from the power source and/

or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.

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.

Maintain power tools and accessories. 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

Page 3 — English

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused

by poorly maintained power tools.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less

likely to bind and are easier to control.

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.

Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean, and

free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping

surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the

tool in unexpected situations.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

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 re when used with

another battery pack.

Use battery only with charger listed. For use with 18

V lithium-ion battery packs, see tool/appliance/battery

pack/charger correlation supplement 987000-432.

Use power tools only with speciﬁcally designated

battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create

a risk of injury and re.

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 re.

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected

from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acciden-

tally occurs, ﬂush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,

additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the

battery may cause irritation or burns.

Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or

modiﬁed. Damaged or modied batteries may exhibit

unpredictable behavior resulting in re, explosion or risk

of injury.

Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or

excessive temperature. Exposure to re or temperature

above 265° F may cause explosion.

Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the

battery pack or tool outside the temperature range

speciﬁed in the instructions. Charging improperly or at

temperatures outside the specied range may damage

the battery and increase the risk of re.

Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an

electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in

operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards

when not using your battery tool or when changing

accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of

electric shock, re, or serious personal injury.

Do not place battery tools or their batteries near ﬁre

or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly

injury.

 Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not

use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped

or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject

to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged

battery immediately.

Batteries can explode in the presence of a source

of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of

serious personal injury, never use any cordless product

in the presence of open ame. An exploded battery can

propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, ush with water

immediately.

Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location.

Do not use, store, or charge battery packs or products

in locations where the temperature is less than 50° F

or more than 100° F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.

Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,

battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact

with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water.

If liquid gets into your eyes, ﬂush them with clean

water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate

medical attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk

of serious personal injury.

SERVICE

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.

Never service damaged battery packs. Service of

battery packs should only be performed by the

manufacturer or authorized service providers.

Page 4 — English

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Flooring saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like

products, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-off

wheels for cutting ferrous material such as bars, rods,

studs, etc. Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as

the guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn

the guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.

Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools,

wood scraps, etc., except for the workpiece. Small

debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that

contact the revolving blade can be thrown with high

speed.

Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple

workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced

and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.

Ensure the ﬂooring saw is mounted or placed on

a level, ﬁrm work surface before use. A level and

rm work surface reduces the risk of the ooring saw

becoming unstable.

Use the saw on the ﬂoor or a secure table to ensure

adequate support.

Do not use another person as a substitute for a table

extension or as additional support. Unstable support

for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the

workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling

you and the helper into the spinning blade.

Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the

workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece

being thrown.

If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the

ﬂooring saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop and

disconnect the plug from the power source and/or

remove the battery pack. Then work to free the

jammed material. Continued sawing with a jammed

workpiece could cause loss of control or damage to the

ooring saw.

 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and

use to instruct other users. If you loan someone this tool,

loan them these instructions also.

FOR RIP CUTS

Never cross your hand over the intended line of

cutting either in front or behind the saw blade.

Supporting the workpiece “cross handed” i.e. holding

the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your left

hand or vice versa is very dangerous.

Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer

than 4 in. (100 mm) from either side of the saw blade,

to remove wood scraps, or for any other reason while

the blade is spinning. The proximity of the spinning saw

blade to your hand may not be obvious and you may be

seriously injured.

After ﬁnishing the cut, release the switch and wait for

the blade to stop before removing the cut-off piece.

Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is

dangerous.

 Make sure the ﬂooring saw is locked during rip cutting

and fences are locked in place before cutting.

FOR CROSS CUTS

Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever pos-

sible. If supporting the workpiece by hand, you must

always keep your hand at least 4 in. (100 mm) from

either side of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to

cut pieces that are too small to be securely clamped

or held by hand. If your hand is placed too close to the

saw blade, there is an increased risk of injury from blade

contact.

Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or

miter angle setting, make sure the adjustable fence

is set correctly to support the workpiece and will

not interfere with the blade or the guarding system.

Without turning the tool “ON” and with no workpiece

on the table, move the saw blade through a complete

simulated cut to assure there will be no interference or

danger of cutting the fence.

The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by

any means against the spinning saw blade. If conned,

i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged

against the blade and thrown violently.

The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or

held against both the fence and the table. Do not feed

the workpiece into the blade or cut “freehand” in any

way. Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown

at high speeds, causing injury.

Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the

workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the

outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make

certain that there is no gap between the workpiece,

fence, and table along the line of the cut. Bent or

warped workpieces can twist or shift and may cause

binding on the spinning saw blade while cutting. There

should be no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece.

Always use a clamp or a ﬁxture designed to properly

support round material such as rods or tubing. Rods

have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade

to bite and pull the work with your hand into the blade.

 Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull

the saw through the workpiece. To make a cut, start

the saw and push the saw through the workpiece.

Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade

to climb on top of the workpiece and violently throw the

blade assembly towards the operator.

Page 5 — English

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

 Know your power tool. Read the operator’s manual

carefully. Learn the applications and limitations as well

as the specic potential hazards related to this tool.

 Always wear eye protection with side shields which

is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when using this

product. Failure to do so could result in objects being

thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.

 Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool

is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

 Never touch blade or other moving parts during use.

 Double check all setups. Make sure blade is tight

and not making contact with saw or workpiece before

connecting to power supply.

 If you choose to use the saw on a workbench or table,

ﬁrmly clamp or bolt your tool to the work surface at

approximately hip height.

 Never move the workpiece or make adjustment to any

cutting angle while the saw is running and the blade

is rotating. Any slip can result in contact with the blade

causing serious personal injury.

 Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where

a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the

blade. ALWAYS make sure you have good balance.

 Do not turn the motor switch on and off rapidly. This

could cause the saw blade to loosen and could create

a hazard. Should this ever occur, stand clear and allow

the saw blade to come to a complete stop. Disconnect

your saw from the power supply and securely retighten

the blade bolt.

 If any part of this ﬂooring saw is missing or should

break, bend, or fail in any way, or should any electrical

component fail to perform properly, shut off the power

switch, remove the ooring saw plug from the battery and

have damaged, missing, or failed parts replaced before

resuming operation.

 Always turn off the saw before removing the battery to

avoid accidental starting when reconnecting to power

supply. NEVER leave the saw unattended with battery

installed.

 This tool should have the following markings:

• To reduce the risk of injury, user must read the

operator’s manual.

• Wear eye protection.

• Keep hands and body out of the path of the saw blade.

Contact with the blade will result in serious injury.

• Check guarding system to make sure it is functioning

correctly.

• Do not perform any operation freehand.

• Never reach around the saw blade.

• Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop before

moving workpiece or changing settings.

• Remove the battery pack before changing blade or

servicing.

 Always carry the tool only by the carrying handle.

 Always make sure the saw blade has clearance of

all obstructions before turning the saw on.

 Use a different blade for each type of material being

cut such as LVT and wood ﬂooring.

GUARDING RELATED WARNINGS

 Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working

order and be properly mounted. A guard that is loose,

damaged, or is not functioning correctly must be repaired

or replaced.

 Always use saw blade guard, riving knife and anti-

kickback device for every rip cut.

 Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the guard,

riving knife or the workpiece before the switch is

turned on. Inadvertent contact of these items with the

saw blade could cause a hazardous condition.

 Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction

manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning, and alignment

can make the riving knife ineffective in reducing the

likelihood of kickback.

 For the riving knife and anti-kickback device to work,

they must be engaged in the workpiece. The riving

knife and anti-kickback device are ineffective when

cutting workpieces that are too short to be engaged with

the riving knife and anti-kickback device. Under these

conditions a kickback cannot be prevented by the riving

knife and antikickback device.

 Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife.

For the riving knife to function properly, the saw blade

diameter must match the appropriate riving knife and the

body of the saw blade must be thinner than the thickness

of the riving knife and the cutting width of the saw blade

must be wider than the thickness of the riving knife.

CUTTING PROCEDURES WARNINGS

 DANGER: Never place your ﬁngers or hands in the

vicinity or in line with the saw blade. A moment of

inattention or a slip could direct your hand towards the

saw blade and result in serious personal injury.

 Feed the workpiece into the saw blade only against

the direction of rotation. Feeding the workpiece in the

same direction that the saw blade is rotating above the

table may result in the workpiece, and your hand, being

pulled into the saw blade.

 When ripping, always apply the workpiece feeding

force between the fence and the saw blade. Use a

push stick when the distance between the fence and

the saw blade is less than 6 in. (150 mm), and use

a push block when this distance is less than 2 in.

(50 mm). Work helping devices will keep your hand at a

safe distance from the saw blade.

Page 6 — English

 Use only the push stick provided by the manufacturer

or constructed in accordance with the instructions.

This push stick provides sufcient distance of the hand

from the saw blade.

 Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A damaged

push stick may break causing your hand to slip into the

saw blade.

 Do not perform any operation freehand. Always use

either the rip fence or the miter gauge to position and

guide the workpiece. Freehand means using your hands

to support or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence

or miter gauge. Freehand sawing leads to misalignment,

binding and kickback.

 Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade.

Reaching for a workpiece may lead to accidental contact

with the moving saw blade.

 Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the rear and/or

sides of the saw table for long and/or wide workpieces

to keep them level. A long and/or wide workpiece has

a tendency to pivot on the table’s edge, causing loss of

control, saw blade binding and kickback.

 Feed workpiece at an even pace. Do not bend or twist

the workpiece. If jamming occurs, turn the tool off

immediately, unplug the tool then clear the jam.

Jamming the saw blade by the workpiece can cause

kickback or stall the motor.

 Do not remove pieces of cut-off material while the saw

is running. The material may become trapped between

the fence or inside the saw blade guard and the saw

blade pulling your ngers into the saw blade. Turn the saw

off and wait until the saw blade stops before removing

material.

 Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the table top

when ripping workpieces less than 1/16 in. (2 mm)

thick. A thin workpiece may wedge under the rip fence

and create a kickback.

KICKBACK CAUSES AND RELATED

WARNINGS

Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece due to a

pinched, jammed saw blade or misaligned line of cut in the

workpiece with respect to the saw blade or when a part of

the workpiece binds between the saw blade and the rip

fence or other xed object.

Most frequently during kickback, the workpiece is lifted from

the table by the rear portion of the saw blade and is propelled

towards 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.

 When using saw on a table or workbench, stand at a

45 degree angle to the saw. Always position your body

on the same side of the saw blade as the fence. Kick-

back may propel the workpiece at high velocity towards

anyone standing in front and in line with the saw blade.

 Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to pull or

to support the workpiece. Accidental contact with the

saw blade may occur or kickback may drag your ngers

into the saw blade.

 Never hold and press the workpiece that is being

cut off against the rotating saw blade. Pressing the

workpiece being cut off against the saw blade will create

a binding condition and kickback.

 Align the fence to be parallel with the saw blade. A

misaligned fence will pinch the workpiece against the

saw blade and create kickback.

 Use a featherboard to guide the workpiece against the

table and fence when making non-through cuts such

as rabbeting, dadoing or resawing cuts. A featherboard

helps to control the workpiece in the event of a kickback.

 Support large panels to minimise the risk of saw blade

pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under

their own weight. Support(s) must be placed under all

portions of the panel overhanging the table top.

 Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece that is

twisted, knotted, warped or does not have a straight

edge to guide it with a miter gauge or along the fence.

A warped, knotted or twisted workpiece is unstable and

causes misalignment of the kerf with the saw blade,

binding, and kickback.

 Never cut more than one workpiece, stacked

vertically or horizontally. The saw blade could pick up

one or more pieces and cause kickback.

 When restarting the saw with the saw blade in the

workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf so that

that the saw teeth are not engaged in the material. If

the saw blade binds, it may lift up the workpiece and

cause kickback when the saw is restarted.

 Keep saw blades clean, sharp, and with sufﬁcient

set. Never use warped saw blades or saw blades with

cracked or broken teeth. Sharp and properly set saw

blades minimise binding, stalling and kickback.

FLOORING SAW OPERATING PROCEDURE

WARNINGS

 Turn off the ﬂooring saw and disconnect the power

cord or remove battery pack when removing the table

insert, changing the saw blade or making adjustments

to the riving knife, antikickback device or saw blade

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

Page 7 — English

guard, and when the machine is left unattended.

Precautionary measures will avoid accidents.

 Never leave the ﬂooring saw running unattended.

Turn it off and don’t leave the tool until it comes to a

complete stop. An unattended running saw is an un-

controlled hazard.

 Locate the ﬂooring saw in a well-lit and level area

where you can maintain good footing and balance. It

should be installed in an area that provides enough

room to easily handle the size of your workpiece.

Cramped, dark areas, and uneven slippery oors invite

accidents.

 Frequently clean and remove sawdust from around

the saw table and/or the dust collection device.

Accumulated sawdust is combustible and may self-ignite.

 Remove tools, wood scraps, etc. from the table before

the ﬂooring saw is turned on. Distraction or a potential

jam can be dangerous.

 Always use saw blades with correct size and shape

(diamond versus round) of arbor holes. Saw blades that

do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run

off-centre, causing loss of control. The maximum blade

capacity of your saw is 5-1/2 in.

 Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade mounting

means such as ﬂanges, saw blade washers, bolts or

nuts. These mounting means were specially designed for

your saw, for safe operation and optimum performance.

 Make sure that the saw blade is installed to rotate

in the proper direction. Do not use grinding wheels,

wire brushes or abrasive wheels on a ﬂooring saw.

Improper saw blade installation or use of accessories not

recommended may cause serious injury.

OPERATION

MOUNTING HOLES

See Figure 3, page 17.

The saw can be mounted to a rm supporting surface such

as a workbench or mounting boards, if desired. The saw base

has four mounting holes for this purpose. Trace mounting

holes onto mounting surface as shown. Secure using bolts

and washers (not included). Bolts should be of sufcient length

to accommodate the saw base, washers, and the thickness

of the workbench or mounting board. Tighten bolts securely.

Carefully check the workbench after mounting to make

sure that no movement can occur during use. If any tipping,

sliding or walking is noted, secure the workbench to the oor

before operating.

WORK CLAMP

See Figure 4, page 17.

WARNING:

In some operations, the work clamp assembly may

interfere with the operation of the blade guard assembly.

Always make sure there is no interference with the blade

guard prior to beginning any cutting operation to reduce

the risk of serious personal injury.

The work clamp provides greater control by clamping the

workpiece to the fence or the saw table. It also prevents

the workpiece from creeping toward the saw blade. This is

very helpful when cutting miters. Depending on the cutting

operation and the size of the workpiece, it may be neces-

sary to use a C-clamp or other suitable clamp instead of the

work clamp to secure the workpiece prior to making the cut.

To install the work clamp:

 Remove the battery pack.

 Align the work clamp shaft in the corresponding hole

located at the end of the saw table. Clamp will only install

in one position.

 Rotate the work clamp knob to move it up or down as

needed to secure the workpiece.

To use the work clamp:

 With fence mounted to the ooring saw (see instructions

below), place the workpiece rmly against the fence.

 Rotate the knob on the work clamp to move the clamp

up or down as needed. Do not overtighten.

 Use the adjusting knob to adjust the length or rotation of

the clamp.

TO INSTALL FENCE FOR MAKING MITER /

CROSS CUTS

See Figures 5 - 6, page 17.

pins in the right groove of the saw table and the left side

of the fence in the left groove of the saw table.

 Slide the adjusting clamp along the rip groove until

reaching the desired distance for the cut.

 Place the fence lock knob into the corresponding hole of

the saw table.

 Using the scales on the saw table, check that both the

left and right sides of the fence are the same distance

from the blade so the fence is squared to the blade.

 Tighten the fence lock knob and washer to secure the

miter fence.

 Tighten the clamp knob securely to the work piece.

TO USE THE DUST BAG

See Figure 8, page 18.

 Remove the battery pack.

 Always use the fence when rip cutting. This helps prevent

twisting the wood in the cut.

 Always use clean, sharp, and properly set blades. Never

make cuts with dull blades.

 To avoid pinching the blade, support the work properly

before beginning a cut.

 When making a cut, use steady, even pressure. Never

force cuts.

 Do not cut wet or warped lumber.

 Use extra caution when cutting some prenished or

composition wood products as the anti-kickback pawls

may not always be effective.

 Always guide your workpiece with both hands or with

push sticks and/or push blocks. Keep your body in a

balanced position to be ready to resist kickback should

it occur. Never stand directly in line with the blade.

 Clean the saw, blade guard, under the throat plate, and

any areas where saw dust or scrap workpieces may

gather.

S’il est nécessaire d’utiliser l’outil électrique dans un

endroit humide, employer un dispositif interrupteur de

défaut à la terre (GFCI). L’utilisation d’un GFCI réduit le

risque de décharge électrique.

SÉCURITÉ PERSONNELLE

Rester attentif, prêter attention au travail et faire preuve

de bon sens lors de l’utilisation de tout outil électrique.

Ne pas utiliser cet outil en état de fatigue ou sous

l’inﬂuence de l’alcool, de drogues ou de médicaments.

Un moment d’inattention pendant l’utilisation d’un outil

électrique peut entraîner des blessures graves.

Utiliser l’équipement de sécurité. Toujours porter une

protection oculaire. L’équipement de sécurité, tel qu’un

masque ltrant, de chaussures de sécurité, d’un casque

ou d’une protection auditive, utilisé dans des conditions

appropriées réduira le risque de blessures.

Éviter les démarrages accidentels. S’assurer que le

commutateur est en position d’arrêt avant de brancher

l’outil et/ou bloc-piles. Porter un outil avec le doigt sur son

commutateur ou brancher un outil dont le commutateur est

en position de marche peut causer un accident.

Retirer les clés de réglage avant de mettre l’outil en

marche. Une clé laissée sur une pièce rotative de l’outil

peut causer des blessures.

Ne pas travailler hors de portée. Toujours se tenir bien

campé et en équilibre. Ceci permettra de mieux contrôler

l’outil en cas de situation imprévue.

Porter une tenue appropriée. Ne porter ni vêtements

amples, ni bijoux. Garder les cheveux et les vêtements à

l’écart des pièces en mouvement. Les vêtements amples,

bijoux et cheveux longs peuvent se prendre dans les pièces

en mouvement.

Si les outils sont équipés de dispositifs de dépoussiérage,

s’assurer qu’ils sont connectés et correctement utilisés.

L’usage de ces dispositifs de dépoussiérage peut réduire

les dangers présentés par la poussière.

Malgré votre expérience acquise par l’utilisation

fréquente des outils, soyez toujours vigilant et respectez

les principes de sécurité relatifs aux outils. Il s’agit d’une

fraction de seconde pour qu’un geste irrééchi puisse causer

de graves blessures.

UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DES OUTILS

ÉLECTRIQUES

Ne pas forcer l’outil. Utiliser l’outil approprié pour

l’application. Un outil approprié exécutera le travail mieux

et de façon moins dangereuse s’il est utilisé dans les limites

prévues.

Ne pas utiliser l’outil si le commutateur ne permet pas

de le mettre en marche ou de l’arrêter. Tout outil qui ne

peut pas être contrôlé par son commutateur est dangereux

et doit être réparé.

Avant de procéder à un réglage, à un changement

d’accessoire ou au rangement de l’outil, débranchez la

prise de la source d’alimentation ou, si le bloc-piles est

amovible, retirez-le de l’outil. Ces mesures de sécurité

préventives réduisent les risques de démarrage accidentel

de l’outil.

Ranger les outils motorisés hors de la portée des enfants

et ne laisser personne n’étant pas familiarisé avec l’outil

ou ces instructions utiliser l’outil. Dans les mains de

personnes n’ayant pas reçu des instructions adéquates, les

outils sont dangereux.

Entretenir les outils motorisés et accessoires. Vériﬁer

qu’aucune pièce mobile n’est mal alignée ou bloquée,

qu’aucune pièce n’est brisée et s’assurer qu’aucun autre

problème ne risque d’affecter le bon fonctionnement de

l’outil. En cas de dommages faire réparer l’outil avant de

l’utiliser de nouveau. Beaucoup d’accidents sont causés par

des outils mal entretenus.

RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ GÉNÉRALES

Garder les outils bien affûtés et propres. Des outils

correctement entretenus et dont les tranchants sont bien

affûtés risquent moins de se bloquer et sont plus faciles à

contrôler.

Utiliser l’outil, les accessoires et embouts, etc.

conformément à ces instrutions pour les applications

pour lesquelles ils sont conçus, en tenant compte des

conditions et du type de travail à exécuter. L’usage d’un

outil motorisé pour des applications pour lesquelles il n’est

pas conçu peut être dangereux.

Gardez les poignées et les surfaces de prise sèches,

propres et exemptes d’huile et de graisse. Des poignées et

des surfaces de prise glissantes empêchent la manipulation

et le contrôle sécuritaires de l’outil dans des circonstances

imprévues.

UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DE LA PILE

Ne recharger qu’avec l’appareil spéciﬁé par le fabricant.

Un chargeur approprié pour un type de pile peut créer un

risque d’incendie s’il est utilisé avec un autre type de pile.

Ne recharger les piles qu’avec l’appareil indiqué. Pour

utiliser l’appareil avec des piles au lithium-ion de 18 V,

consulter le supplément de raccordement pour chargeur/

outils/piles/appareil n˚ 988000-302.

Utiliser exclusivement le bloc-pile spécifiquement

indiqué pour l’outil. L’usage de tout autre bloc peut créer

un risque de blessures et d’incendie.

Lorsque le bloc-piles n’est pas en usage, le garder à

l’écart d’articles tels qu’attaches trombones, pièces de

monnaie, clous, vis ou autres petits objets métalliques

risquant d’établir le contact entre les deux bornes. La

mise en court-circuit des bornes de piles peut causer des

étincelles, des brûlures ou un incendie.

En cas d’usage abusif, du liquide peut s’échapper des

piles. Éviter tout contact avec ce liquide. En cas de

contact accidentel, rincer immédiatement les parties

atteintes avec de l’eau. En cas d’éclaboussure dans les

yeux consulter un médecin. Le liquide s’échappant des

piles peut causer des irritations ou des brûlures.

Ne pas utiliser un bloc-piles ou un outil endommagé ou

modiﬁé. Les piles endommagées ou modiées peuvent

produire un comportement imprévisible pouvant provoquer

un incendie, une explosion ou des blessures.

Ne pas exposer le bloc-piles ou l’outil près d’un incendie

ou à une température extrême. L’exposition à un incendie

ou à une température supérieure à 130 °C (265° F) représente

un risque d’explosion.

Suivre toutes les instructions afférentes à la recharge

et ne pas recharger le bloc-piles ou l’outil hors des

températures spécifiées dans les instructions. Une

recharge incorrecte ou hors des températures spéciées

peut endommager la pile et augmenter les risques de feu.

Les outils fonctionnant sur piles n’ayant pas besoin

d’être branchés sur une prise secteur, ils sont toujours

en état de fonctionnement. Tenir compte des dangers

possibles lorsque l’outil n’est pas en usage et lors du

remplacement des piles. Le respect de cette consigne

réduira les risques d’incendie, de choc électrique et de

blessures graves.

Ne pas placer les outils électriques sans ﬁl ou leurs piles

à proximité de ﬂammes ou d’une source de chaleur. Ceci

réduira les risques d’explosion et de blessures.

Ne pas écraser, faire tomber ou endommager le bloc-

piles. Ne jamais utiliser un bloc-piles ou un chargeur

qui est tombé, a été écrasé, a reçu un choc violent ou a

été endommagé de quelque façon que ce soit. Une pile

endommagée risque d’exploser. Éliminer immédiatement

toute pile endommagée, selon une méthode appropriée.

Les piles peuvent exploser en présence d’une source

d’allumage, telle qu’une veilleuse. Pour réduire les risques

de blessures graves, ne jamais utiliser un appareil sans l,

quel qu’il soit, en présence d’une amme vive. En explosant,

une pile peut projeter des débris et des produits chimiques.

En cas d’exposition, rincer immédiatement les parties

atteintes avec de l’eau.

Ne pas recharger un outil fonctionnant sur piles

dans un endroit humide ou mouillé. Ne pas utiliser,

remiser ou charger le bloc-piles ou produits dans des

emplacements où la température est inférieure 10 °C

(50°F) à ou supérieure à 38 °C (100 °F). Ne pas ranger

l’outil à l’extérieur ou dans un véhicule.

Si l’outil est utilisé de façon intensive ou sous des

températures extrêmes, des fuites de pile peuvent se

produire. En cas de contact du liquide avec la peau,

rincer immédiatement la partie atteinte avec de l’eau.

En cas d’éclaboussure dans les yeux, les rincer à l’eau

fraîche pendant au moins 10 minutes, puis contacter

immédiatement un médecin. Le respect de cette règle

réduira les risques de blessures graves.

DÉPANNAGE

Les réparat ions doivent être conﬁées à un technicien

qualiﬁé, utilisant exclusivement des pièces identiques à

celles d’origine. Ceci assurera le maintien de la sécurité de

l’outil.

 Ne réparez jamais de blocs-piles endommagés. Seuls

le fabricant et les fournisseurs de service autorisés doivent

effectuer la réparation ou l’entretien des blocs-piles.

Les scies à planchers sont conçues pour couper le bois

ou les produits comme le bois, elles ne peuvent pas

être utilisées avec des meules à découper abrasives

pour couper des matériaux ferreux tels que des barres,

des tiges, des goujons, etc. Les poussières abrasives

entrainent le blocage des pièces mobiles comme le dispositif

de protection inférieur. Les étincelles provenant d’une

RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ PARTICULIÈRES

coupe abrasive brûleront le dispositif de protection inférieur,

l’intérieur du trait de scie et d’autres pièces en plastique.

Ne pas utiliser la scie jusqu’à ce que la table soit libre de

tous les outils, déchets de bois, etc., à l’exception de la

pièce à travailler. Les petits débris, les morceaux de bois

Page 4 — Français

POUR LES COUPES TRANSVERSALES

Utiliser des pinces pour maintenir en place la pièce à

travailler chaque fois que possible. Si vous supportez à

la main la pièce à travailler, vous devez toujours garder

vos mains à au moins 100 mm (4 po) de chaque côté de

la lame de la scie. Ne pas utiliser cette scie pour couper

des morceaux qui sont trop petits pour être correctement

ﬁxés ou tenus à la main. Si votre main est placée trop

près de la lame de scie, il y a un risque accru de blessures

causées par le contact avec la lame.

Planiﬁer votre travail. Chaque fois que vous modiﬁez le

réglage d’angle de biseau ou d’onglet, s’assurer que le

guide réglable est correctement ajusté pour soutenir

la pièce à travailler et qu’il n’interférera pas avec la

lame ou le système de protection. Sans mettre l’outil en

« MARCHE » et sans pièce à travailler sur la table, déplacer

la lame de scie à travers une coupe complètement simulée

pour garantir qu’il n’y aura pas d’interférence ni de danger

de couper le guide.

La pièce coupée ne doit pas être coincée ou appuyée

d’une quelconque façon contre la lame de scie en

rotation. Si elle est connée, c.-à-d. à l’aide de butées

réglables, la pièce coupée pourrait se coincer contre la lame

et être projetée violemment.

La pièce à travailler doit être immobile et ﬁxée ou tenue

à la fois contre le guide et la table. Ne pas avancer la

pièce à travailler dans la lame et en aucun cas vous ne

devez couper « à main levée ». Les pièces à travailler qui

ne sont pas retenues ou qui sont en mouvement peuvent

être projetées à grande vitesse, provoquant des blessures.

Inspecter votre pièce à travailler avant de la couper. Si

la pièce à travailler est arquée ou déformée, la ﬁxer au

moyen d’une pince en plaçant l’extérieur arqué face au

guide. S’assurer toujours qu’il n’y a aucun écart entre la

pièce à travailler, le guide et la table le long de la ligne

de coupe. Les pièces à travailler arquées ou déformées

peuvent se tordre ou bouger et peuvent causer un pincement

de la lame de scie en rotation pendant la coupe. Il ne devrait

pas y avoir de clous ou d’objets étrangers dans la pièce à

travailler.

Utiliser toujours une pince ou un dispositif de ﬁxation

conçu pour soutenir correctement des matériaux ronds

tels que des tiges ou des tubes. Les tiges ont tendance

à rouler lorsqu’elles sont coupées, causant une morsure et

tirant le travail avec votre main dans la lame.

 Pousser la scie à travers la pièce à travailler. Ne pas tirer

la scie à travers la pièce à travailler. Pour réaliser une

coupe, démarrer la scie et pousser la scie dans la pièce

à travailler. Couper en tirant la scie est susceptible de faire

monter la lame de scie au-dessus de la pièce à travailler

et de projeter violemment l’assemblage de la lame vers

l’opérateur.

RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ PARTICULIÈRES

détachés ou les autres objets qui sont en contact avec la

lame en rotation peuvent être projetés à haute vitesse.

Couper une seule pièce à travailler à la fois. Les pièces à

travailler empilées ne peuvent pas être sufsamment xées

au moyen d’une pince ou serrées et peuvent causer un

pincement avec la lame ou bouger durant la coupe.

S’assurer que la scie à plancher est montée ou placée à

niveau sur une surface de travail ferme avant de l’utiliser.

Une surface de travail ferme et à niveau réduit le risque que

la scie à plancher devienne instable.

Utiliser la scie sur le sol ou une table sécuritaire pour

assurer un appui adéquat.

Ne pas utiliser une autre personne pour remplacer une

rallonge de table ou comme appui supplémentaire. Un

appui instable de la pièce à travailler peut bloquer la lame

ou bouger la pièce à travailler pendant l’opération de coupe,

tirant vous et la personne aidant vers la lame tournante.

Laisser la lame atteindre sa pleine vitesse avant de la

faire entrer en contact avec la pièce à travailler. Cela

permettra de réduire le risque que la pièce à travailler soit

projetée.

Si la pièce à travailler ou la lame se bloque, arrêter la

scie à plancher. Attendre que toutes les pièces mobiles

soient arrêtées et débrancher la ﬁche de la source

d’alimentation et/ou retirez le bloc-piles. Libérer ensuite

les matériaux coincés. Continuer à scier avec une pièce

à travailler coincée pourrait entrainer une perte de contrôle

ou endommager la scie à plancher.

Conserver ces instructions. Les consulter fréquemment et

les utiliser pour instruire les autres utilisateurs. Si cet outil

est prêté, il doit être accompagné de ces instructions.

POUR LES COUPES LONGITUDINALES

Ne jamais mettre votre main au travers de la ligne de

coupe prévue, que ce soit à l’avant ou à l’arrière de la

lame de scie. Tenir la pièce à travailler à « main croisée »

c.-à-d. en maintenant la pièce à travailler à droite de la

lame de scie avec votre main gauche ou vice versa est très

dangereux.

Ne pas essayer d’atteindre l’arrière du guide avec l’une

ou l’autre de vos mains à moins de 100 mm (4 po) de

chaque côté de la lame de scie, que ce soit pour enlever

les déchets de bois, ou pour toute autre raison que ce

soit pendant que la lame est en rotation. La proximité

de votre main avec la lame de scie en rotation peut ne pas

être évidente à déterminer et vous pourriez être gravement

blessé.

Après avoir terminé la coupe, relâcher le commutateur

et attendez que la lame s’arrête avant de retirer la pièce

coupée. Approcher votre main près d’une lame qui n’est pas

complètement arrêtée est dangereux.

 Vériﬁer que la scie à plancher est verrouillée pendant la

coupe longitudinale et que les guides sont verrouillés en

place avant la coupe.
