clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) 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
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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 mea ures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions, 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.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is suit-
able for one type of battery pack may create
a risk of fire when used with another battery
pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.

c) 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 fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) Service
a) 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.

3 Special Safety Instructions

Sawing procedure
a) 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.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The
safety guard cannot protect you from the blade
below the workpiece.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces 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
shock the operator.
f) When ripping always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy
of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
g) 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.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade
plain washers or bolt. The blade washers and
bolt were specially designed for your saw, for
optimum performance and safety of operation.
