GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future refer-
ence. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or bat-
tery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
f f
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
f f
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
f f
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
f f
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
f f
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfac-
es, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
f f
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
f f
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.
f f
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit-
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f f
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
f f
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a pow-
er 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 per-
sonal injury.
f f
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.
f f
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
energizing power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
f f
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
f f
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
f f
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from mov-
ing parts. Loose clothes, jewelery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
f f
If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
f f
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.
f f
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.
f f
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.
f f
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.
f f
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 pow-
er tools.
f f
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
f f
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in ac-
cordance 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 re-
pair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR CIRCULAR SAWS
Cutting procedures
f f
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.
f f
Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard
cannot protect you from the blade below the work-
piece.
f f
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.
