b) Only the rechargeable battery units supplied
are to be used with the power tools.
The use
of other rechargeable battery units may result
in injury or a fire hazard.
c) When they are not being used, store recharge-
able battery units away from paper clips, coins,
keys. nails, screws or other small metal objects
that could cause the contacts to be bridged.
Short-circuiting the contacts of a rechargeable
battery unit may result in burns or fire.
d) Fluid may leak out of rechargeable battery
units if they are misused. If this happens, avoid
contact with the fluid. If accidental contact
occurs, rinse the affected area with water.
Seek additional medical help if any of the
fluid gets into your eyes.
Escaping battery
fluid may cause skin irritation or burns.
CAUTION! RISK OF EXPLOSION!
Never charge non-rechargeable
batteries!
Protect the battery against heat, e. g.,
against continuous intense sunlight,
fire, water and moisture.
Danger of explosion.
6. Service
a)
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts.
This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.

Cutting procedures
a) DANGER! Keep hands away from
cutting area and the 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 minimise body exposure,
blade binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will also
make exposed metal parts of the power tool
“live” and could give the operator an electric
shock.
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 saw 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, caus-
ing loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade
washers or bolts.
The blade washers and bolt
were specially designed for your saw, for opti-
mum performance and safety of operation.

Kickback causes and related warnings
▯ A kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an
uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the work-
piece 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 incor-
rect operating procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below.
