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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
SAWS
a)
DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting
area and the blade. Keep your second hand on
front handle.
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 workpiece in your hands or across
your leg while cutting. 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 or its own cord.
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 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 off-centre, 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.
FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR ALL SAWS
KICKBACK CAUSES AND RELATED
WARNINGS
— kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound
or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled
saw to lift up and out of the workpiece 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
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw
and position your arms to resist kickback forces.
Position your body to either side of the blade,
but not in line with the blade.
Kickback could
cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback
forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper
precautions are taken.
b) When blade is binding, or when interrupting
a cut for any reason, release the trigger and
hold the saw motionless in the material until
the blade comes to a complete stop. Never
attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull
the saw backward while the blade is in motion
or kickback may occur.
Investigate and take
corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade
