Safety instructions

General power tool safety warnings

@

Warning! Read all safety warnings and all

instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.

1. Work area safety

a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b. 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.

c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety a. 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.

b. 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.

c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d. 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.

e. 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.

f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)

protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

(Original instructions) ENGLISH

3. Personal safety a. 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.

b. 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.

c. 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 finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d. 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.

e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away

from moving parts. Loose 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 measures 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.

5

ENGLISH (Original instructions) e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools 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 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.

5. Service a.

person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

b.

Power to the tool should always be supplied via residual current device with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.

Additional power tool safety warnings

@

Warning! Additional safety warnings for

Circular saws



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.



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.

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.

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 give the operator an electric shock.



When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge

guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.

6



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.



Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt.

The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for

your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.

Safety instructions for all saws

Causes and operator prevention of kickback:



kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled 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.





 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 taken.

When the 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 may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.

When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre 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 kickback from the workpiece as the saw is

restarted.



Support large panels to minimise 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.

Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing

excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.



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.

(Original instructions) ENGLISH



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 circular saws with outer or inner pendulum guards and with tow guard



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.



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.



Lower guard should be retracted manually 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.

Always observe that the lower guard is covering the unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk

An backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.

Residual risks

Additional residual risks may arise when using the tool which may not be included in the enclosed safety warnings. These risks can arise from misuse, prolonged use etc.

Even with the application of the relevant safety regulations and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks can not be avoided. These include:



Injuries caused by touching any rotating/moving parts.



Injuries caused when changing any parts, blades or ac-

 cessories.

Injuries caused by prolonged use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods ensure you take regular breaks.
