power tool for operations different from those
intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
h) 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.
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 clips,
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.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified.
Damaged or
modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable
behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature.
Exposure to
fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause
explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool
outside the temperature range specified in the
instructions.
Charging improperly or
at temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the
risk of fire.
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.
b) Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers.
4. Special safety instructions
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.
• Keep hands away from the sawing range.
Do not reach under the workpiece.
Contact
with the saw blade can lead to injuries.
• Apply the machine to the workpiece only
when switched on.
Otherwise there is danger
of kickback when the cutting tool jams in
the workpiece.
• Pay attention that the base plate rests
securely on the material while sawing.
A jammed saw blade can break or lead to
kickback.
• When the cut is completed, switch off the
machine and then pull the saw blade out of
the cut only after it has come to a standstill.
