(Original instructions)
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.
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
powe r 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. 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.
Additional power tool safety
warnings
Warning! Safety instructions for all
saws
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
• Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by
hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Keep hands away from cutting area.
Never reach underneath the work piece
for any reason. Do not insert fingers or
thumb into the vicinity of the
reciprocating blade and blade clamp. Do
not stabilize the saw by gripping the
shoe.
• Keep blades sharp. Dull or damaged
blades may cause the saw to swerve or
stall under pressure. Always use the
appropriate type of saw blade for the
workpiece material and type of cut.
