SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
6.
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.
7.
If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
Use of dust
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1.
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.
2.
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.
3.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power
tools.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
4.
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.
5.
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.
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, 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.
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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ALL SAWS
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.
1. Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The guard cannot protect you from the blade
below the workpiece.
2.
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.
3.
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.
4.
Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces only, 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”.
5.
When ripping, always use a rip fence
or straight edge guide.
This improves the
accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of
blade binding.
