• 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 and moving parts . Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock .
• 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 .
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected sup-
ply . Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock .
Personal safety
• 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 .
• 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 .
• 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 .
• 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 .
• Do not overreach . Keep proper footing and balance at
all times . This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations .
• Dress properly . Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery .
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from mov-
ing parts . Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts .
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extrac-
tion and collection facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used . Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards .
Power tool use and care
• 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 .
• 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 .
• 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 .
• 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 .
• Maintain power tools . Check for misalignment or bind-
ing 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 .
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean . Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control .
• 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 .
Service
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 .
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR CIRCULAR SAWS
• DANGER: 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 can-
not protect you from the blade below the workpiece .
• Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the work-
piece . 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 im-
portant to support the work properly to minimize body
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control .
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
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 could 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 .
• 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 .
• Kickback causes and related warnings
– 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
