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. 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.
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 lips,
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 contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help
.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
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.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
DANGER:
a)
Keep hands away from cutting area and 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 piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. 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 power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will also make
exposed metal 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 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 eccentrically, 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.
Special safety regulations
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
- Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an
uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;
- When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the
motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;
- If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can
dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward
the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or in corrects operating procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
