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 ar a Jire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. lf contact acci-
dentally occurs, flush with water. lf liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation ar burns.
5.6 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This wil1 ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
5.7 Safety instructions for ali saws
a) DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary
handle, or motor housing. lf 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.
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. lt is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, ar
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 wil1 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 wil1 run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specia-
lly designed far your saw, far optimum performance and safety of operation.
5.8 Causes and operator prevention ol kickback
- Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontro-
lled 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.
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.
a) Maintain a firm 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 token.
b} 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
