5.
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool’s operation. If dam
-
aged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
6.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing 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.
8.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
9.
When using the tool, do not wear cloth work
gloves which may be entangled.
The entangle-
ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may
result in personal injury.
Battery tool use and care
1.
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.
2.
Use power tools only with specifically desig
-
nated battery packs.
Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another.
Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
4.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
5.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
fire, explosion or risk of injury.
6.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or tem
-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7.
Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc
-
tions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
1.
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.
2.
Never service damaged battery packs.
Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
3.
Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
4.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the appli-
ance or the battery pack except as indicated in
the instructions for use and care.
Safety instructions for mitre saws
1.
Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-
like products, they cannot be used with abra-
sive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous material
such as bars, rods, studs, etc.
Abrasive dust
causes moving parts such as the lower guard to
jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the
lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
2.
Use clamps to support the workpiece when-
ever possible. If supporting the workpiece
by hand, you must always keep your hand at
least 100 mm from either side of the saw blade.
Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are too
small to be securely clamped or held by hand.
If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade,
there is an increased risk of injury from blade
contact.
3.
The workpiece must be stationary and
clamped or held against both the fence and the
table. Do not feed the workpiece into the blade
or cut "freehand" in any way.
Unrestrained
or moving workpieces could be thrown at high
speeds, causing injury.
4.
Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not
pull the saw through the workpiece. To make
a cut, raise the saw head and pull it out over
the workpiece without cutting, start the motor,
press the saw head down and push the saw
through the workpiece.
Cutting on the pull stroke
is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on top
of the workpiece and violently throw the blade
assembly towards the operator.
5.
Never cross your hand over the intended line
of cutting either in front or behind the saw
blade.
Supporting the workpiece "cross handed"
i.e. holding the workpiece to the right of the saw
blade with your left hand or vice versa is very
dangerous.
