WARning! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all

fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in
all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains
operated (corded) power tool or battery operated
(cordless) power tool.
sAVE ThEsE insTRUCTiOns
1. Work area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
cluttered and dark areas
invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses or
dust.
Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust
of fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a) 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.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
there
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
d) 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 or moving parts.
Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use.
use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a) stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
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 personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off
position before plugging in.
carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
this enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts. rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are
recommended when working outdoors.
g) if devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
use of these devices can
reduce dust related hazards.
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 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. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tools 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 and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power tool, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed.
use of the power tool for operations different
from intended could result in hazardous situation.
5. 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.

1. DAngER:
a)
Keep hands away from cutting area and 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 minimise 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 arbour 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.
