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 connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used.
The use of these
pieces of equipment reduce hazards
caused by dust.
4.4.
Power tool use and care
a. 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.
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 before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or stor-
ing 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.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use.
Many acci-
dents 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 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 intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
4.5.
Service
a. Please use a qualified expert who uses
original replacement parts to repair
your power tool.
This will ensure proper
functioning of the power tool.
5. Additional safety warnings
5.1.
Safety instructions for all saws
Sawing method
a.
DANGER: Keep your hands away
from the cutting area and the saw
blade. Hold the extra handle or the
motor housing with your second hand.
If both hands are holding the saw, they
cannot be injured by the saw blade.
b. Do not reach under the work piece.
The protective hood cannot protect you
from the saw blade under the work
piece.
c. Adjust the cutting depth to the thick-
ness of the work piece.
Less than a full
tooth length should be visible under the
work piece.
d. Never hold the work piece you intend
to cut with your hand or over your leg.
Secure the work piece on a stable
holder.
It is important that you secure
the work piece to minimise the risk of
contact with your body, the saw blade
getting clamped or loss of control.
e. Hold the power tool by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing
work where there is a risk of the fitted
tool coming into contact with hidden
power lines or its own mains cord.
Contact with a live line also electrifies
the metal parts of the power tool and
inflicts an electrical shock.
f. Always use a guide or a straight edge
guide when performing lengthwise
cuts.
This improves the accuracy of the
cut and reduces the risk of the saw
blade catching.
