•Due to our continuing program of research and devel- opment, the specifications herein are subject to change without notice.

•Note: Specifications may differ from country to country.

Power supply

The tool should be connected only to a power supply of the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are double-insulated in accordance with European Standard and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without earth wire.

Safety hints

For your own safety, please refer to the enclosed Safety instructions.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

GEB029-1

4.Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control. (Fig. A)

A typical illustration of proper hand support, work- piece support, and supply cord routing (if applicable).

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to circular saw safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious per- sonal injury.

Danger:

1.Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary han- dle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.

2.Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece. Do not attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving.

CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off. Wait until blade stops before grasping cut material.

3.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.

Fig. A

5.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.

6.When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.

7.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.

8.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.
