g) If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facili-
ties, 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 cor-
rect power tool for your application.
The
correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was de-
signed.
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 adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools.
Such preventive safety mea-
sures 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 unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these in-
structions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, break-
age 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Prop-
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories, tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations differ-
ent from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical re-
placement parts.
This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Power Tool-specific Safety
Warnings
f
DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting ar-
ea 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.
f
Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The
guard cannot protect you from the blade be-
low the workpiece.
f
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of
the workpiece.
Less than a full tooth of the
blade teeth should be visible below the work-
piece.
f
Never hold the workpiece being cut in your
hands or across your leg. Secure the work-
piece to a stable platform.
It is important to
support the work properly to minimize body
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
f
Hold the power tool only by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an oper-
ation where the cutting tool may contact hid-
den wiring or its own power cord.
Contact
with a “live” wire will also make exposed met-
al parts of the power tool “live” and shock the
operator.
f
When ripping, always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide.
This improves the accu-
racy of cut and reduces the chance of blade
binding.
f
Always use blades with correct size and
shape (diamond versus round) of arbor
holes.
Blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run eccentrically,
causing loss of control.
f
Never use damaged or incorrect blade wash-
ers or bolt.
The blade washers and bolt were
specially designed for your saw, for optimum
performance and safety of operation.
