Safety Instructions for All Saws

Cutting Procedures

a ) 

 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.

b ) 

Do not reach underneath the workpiece.

 The guard 

cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.

c ) 

Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the 
workpiece.

 Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should 

be visible below the workpiece.

d ) 

Never hold the workpiece in your hands or across 
your leg while cutting. 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 the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, 
when performing an operation where the cutting 
tool may contact hidden wiring.

 Contact with a "live" 

wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool 
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

f ) 

When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge 
guide.

 This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the 

chance of blade binding.

g ) 

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 
off‑center, causing loss of control.

h ) 

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.

contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.

 Liquid 

ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

e ) 

Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged 
or modified.

 Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit 

unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk 
of injury.

f ) 

Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or 
excessive temperature.

 Exposure to fire or temperature 

above 130 °C may cause explosion.

g ) 

Follow all charging instructions and do not charge 
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature 
range specified in the instructions.

 Charging 

improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range 
may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

6)  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.

b ) 

Never service damaged battery packs.

 Service 

of battery packs should only be performed by the 
manufacturer or authorized service providers.

h ) 

Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of 
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore 
tool safety principles.

 A careless action can cause severe 

injury within a fraction of a second.

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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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 and accessories. 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.

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.

h ) 

Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and 
free from oil and grease.

 Slippery handles and grasping 

surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the 
tool in unexpected situations.

5)  Battery Tool Use and Care

a ) 

Recharge only with the charger specified 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.

b ) 

Use power tools only with specifically designated 
battery packs.

 Use of any other battery packs may create 

a risk of injury and fire.

c ) 

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.

d ) 

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected 
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact 
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
