clothes and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can get
trapped in moving parts.
g) If vacuuming devices and draining devices
can be fitted, make sure that these are
correctly attached and correctly used.
The
use of a dust extraction system can reduce the
danger posed by dust.
4. Usage and treatment of the electric tool
a) Do not overload the appliance. Use the
correct tool for your work.
You will be able to
work better and more safely within the given
performance boundaries.
b) Do not use an electric tool with a defective
switch.
An electric tool that cannot be switched
on or off is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Pull the plug out of the socket and/or remove
the battery before making any adjustments to
the appliance, changing accessories or put
the appliance down.
This safety measure
prevents starting the electric tool unintentionally.
d) Keep unused electric tools out of the reach
of children. Do not allow people who are not
familiar with the appliance or who have not
read these instructions to use the appliance.
Electric tools are dangerous if they are used by
inexperienced people.
e) Clean your electric tool carefully. Check
whether moving parts are functioning
properly and not jamming, whether parts are
broken or damaged enough that the
functioning of this electric tool is affected.
Have damaged parts repaired before using
the appliance.
Many accidents are caused by
badly maintained electric tools.
f)
Keep your cutting tools sharp and clean
.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges will jam less and are easier to
control.
g) Make sure to use electric tools, accessories,
attachments, etc. in accordance with these
instructions. Take the conditions in your
work area and the job in hand into account.
Using electric tools for any purpose other than the
one for which they are intended can lead to
dangerous situations.
5. Service
a) Have your electric tool repaired only by
trained personnel using only genuine spare
parts.
This will ensure that your electric tool
remains safe to use.
Safety instructions for all saws
Danger:
a) Do not reach into the sawing area or touch
the saw blade. Hold the additional handle or
the motor casing with your other hand.
If you
hold the circular saw in both hands, the saw
blade cannot injure them.
b) Do not reach under the workpiece.
The guard
hood cannot protect you from the saw blade
under the workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of
the workpiece.
Less than one full tooth height
should be visible under the workpiece.
d) Never hold the workpiece you wish to saw in
your hand or on your leg. Secure the
workpiece on a sturdy surface.
It is important
that you secure the workpiece well to minimize
the danger of body contact, the saw blade
jamming or loss of control.
e) Hold the appliance only by the insulated
handles when carrying out work during
which the cutting tool could strike concealed
power cables or its own cable.
Contact with a
live cable will also make the metal parts of the
appliance live and will cause an electric shock.
f)
Always use a stop or a straight edge when
carrying out longitudinal cuts.
This will
improve your cutting accuracy and reduce the
possibility of the saw blade jamming.
g) Always use saw blades of the correct size
and with a suitable mounting hole (diamond-
shaped or round).
Saw blades that do not
match the mounting parts of the saw will not
rotate truly and will result in a loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade
washers or screws.
The saw blade washers
and screws have been specially designed for
your saw to ensure perfect performance and
operational safety.
Additional safety instructions for all saws
Causes of and ways to avoid recoil:
n
A recoil is the sudden reaction resulting from a
caught, jammed or incorrectly aligned saw blade
which may result in the saw leaping out of the
workpiece out of control and towards the
operator.
n
If the saw blade becomes caught or jammed in
closing saw gap, it will block and the power of the
motor will cause the saw to leap backwards
towards the operator.
n
If the saw blade is twisted or incorrectly aligned in
the cut, the teeth in the rear saw blade edge may
