SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
16. | Do not force the power tool. Use the |
| correct power tool for your applica- |
| tion. The correct power tool will do the |
| job better and safer at the rate for which |
| it was designed. |
17. | 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. |
18. | Disconnect the plug from the power |
| source and/or the battery pack from |
25. | Use power tools only with specifically |
| designated battery packs. Use of any |
| other battery packs may create a risk of |
| injury and fire. |
26. | 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. |
27. | Under abusive conditions, liquid may |
| be ejected from the battery, avoid |
WORK AREA SAFETY
1.Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite acci- dents.
2.Do not operate power tools in ex- plosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3.Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distrac- tions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
4.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.
5.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.
6.Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
7.Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplug- ging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or mov- ing parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
8.When operating a power tool out- doors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of elec- tric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
9.Stay alert, watch what you are do- ing 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.
10.Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,
11.Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the
12.Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotat- ing part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
13.Do not overreach. Keep proper foot- ing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
14.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.
15.If devices are provided for the connec- tion of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these de- vices can reduce
the power tool before making any |
adjustments, changing accessories, |
or storing power tools. Such preven- |
tive safety measures reduce the risk of |
starting the tool accidentally. |
19. Store idle power tools out of the reach |
of children and do not allow persons |
unfamiliar with the power tools or |
these instructions to operate power |
tools. Power tools are dangerous in the |
hands of untrained users. |
20. Maintain power tools. Check for |
misalignment 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. |
21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. |
Properly maintained cutting tools with |
sharp cutting edges are less likely to |
bind and are easier to control. |
22. Use the power tool, accessories and |
tool bits etc., in accordance with |
these instructions and in the manner |
intended for the particular type of |
power tool, 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. |
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
23.Ensure the switch is in the off posi- tion before inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
24.Recharge only with the charger speci- fied 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.
contact. If contact accidentally oc- |
curs, flush with water. If liquid con- |
tacts eyes, additionally seek medical |
help. Liquid ejected from the battery |
may cause irritation or burns. |
SERVICE
28.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.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1.DANGER!
a)Keep hands away from cutting area and 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 work- piece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
c)Adjust the cutting depth to the thick- ness 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 minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e)Hold power tools by insulated grip- ping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make ex- posed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
