5 BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a. 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 fire when
used with another battery pack.
b. Use power tools only with specifically designat-
ed 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 ob-
jects that can make a connection from one ter-
minal 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 acci-
dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid con-
tacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irrita-
tion or burns.
e. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batter-
ies may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting
in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tem-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
6 SERVICE
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified re-
pair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the pow-
er tool is maintained.
b. Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.

Cutting procedures
DANGER!
a.
ting 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
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.
saws
Keep hands away from cut-
d. Never hold the workpiece in your hands or
across your leg while cutting. Secure the work-
piece to a stable platform. It is important to sup-
port the work properly to minimize body
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e. Hold the 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 exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
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 off-centre, causing loss of control.
h. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers
or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were spe-
cially designed for your saw, for optimum perfor-
mance and safety of operation.
i.Wear suitable protective equip-
ment such as ear protection,
safety goggles, a dust mask for
work which generates dust, and
protective gloves when changing
tools.
Kickbacks causes and related warnings
– kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
jammed or misaligned saw blade, causing an un-
controlled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece
toward the operator;
– when the blade is pinched or jammed tightly 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 causing the
blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back to-
ward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incor-
rect operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given be-
low.
a. Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw
and position your arms to resist kickback forc-
es. 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
