13. Disconnect idle tools. Switch off the power and
disconnect the plug from the power point before
servicing, when changing accessories and when the
tool is not in use.
14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check to see
that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the
tool before switching on.
15. Avoid unintentional starting.
Always check that the
switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the tool
to the power supply. Do not carry a plugged in tool with
your finger on the switch.
16. Use outdoor rated extension cords. When a tool
is used outdoors, use only extension cords that are
intended for outdoor use and are so marked.
17. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common
sense. Do not operate a power tool when you are tired.
18. Check for damaged parts. Before using a tool, check
that there are no damaged parts. If a part is slightly
damaged, carefully determine if it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment
of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, proper mounting and any other conditions
that may affect the operation of the tool. A part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorised service facility, unless otherwise indicated in
this Instruction Manual.
Defective switches must be replaced by an authorised
service facility. Do not use a tool if the switch does not
turn the tool on and off correctly.
19. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact
with grounded objects such as water pipes, radiators,
cookers and refrigerator enclosures.
20. Use only approved parts.
When servicing, use only
identical replacement parts. Use an authorised service
facility to fit replacement parts.
WARNING. The use of an accessory or attachment, other
than those recommended in this Instruction Manual, may
present a risk of personal injury.

WARNINGS. Before connecting a tool to a power source
(mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure
that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater
than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to
the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not
plug in the tool.
Using a power source with a voltage less than the
nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
Your tool is double insulated for additional protection against
a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
Always remove the plug from the mains socket before
making any adjustments or maintenance, including
changing the blade.
• When operating the saw, use safety equipment including
safety goggles or shield, ear protection, dust mask and
protective clothing including safety gloves.
• Ensure that there is adequate general or localised
lighting.
• Do not use the saw unless the guards are in place.
• Do not use the saw to cut metal or masonry.
• Do not let anyone under 18 years operate this saw.
• Ensure that the operator is adequately trained in the use,
adjustment and operation of the machine.
• Do not use this saw to cut firewood.
• Keep the area free of tripping hazards.
• Report faults in the machine, including guards and saw
blades, as soon as they are discovered.
• Ensure that the machine is always fixed to a bench,
whenever possible.
• Always stand to one side when operating the saw.
• Never use a cracked or distorted saw blade.
• When cutting round wood, use clamps that prevent the
workpiece from turning on both sides of the blade.
