3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the Rotorazer
Saw® Platinum. DO NOT USE a Rotorazer Saw® Platinum while you are tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating Rotorazer Saw®
Platinum may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce risk of personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the OFF-position before connecting to
a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying Rotorazer Saw®
Platinum with your finger on the switch or powers up Rotorazer Saw® Platinum may invite
accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the Rotorazer Saw® Platinum ON. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the Rotorazer Saw® Platinum may result in personal
injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control
of the Rotorazer Saw® Platinum in unexpected situations.
f) Use suitable clothing. 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.
g) Whenever dust extraction or dust collection devices are needed for connection, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Rotorazer Saw® Platinum use and care
a) Do not force the Rotorazer Saw® Platinum. 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.
b) Do not use the Rotorazer Saw® Platinum if the switch does not turn it ON and OFF. Any Rotoraz-
er Saw® Platinum that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source from the Rotorazer Saw® Platinum before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the Rotorazer Saw® Platinum. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the Rotorazer Saw® Platinum accidentally.
d) When idle, store Rotorazer Saw® Platinum out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the Rotorazer Saw® Platinum or these instructions to operate the Rotorazer Saw®
Platinum. Rotorazer Saw® Platinum is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Take care of your Rotorazer Saw® Platinum. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the Rotorazer Saw® Platinum’s opera-
tion. If damaged, have the Rotorazer Saw® Platinum repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by a poorly maintained power tool.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the Rotorazer Saw® Platinum, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the
Rotorazer Saw® Platinum for operations different from those intended could result in a hazard-
ous situation.
h) Use a clamp or other practical way to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform.
5) Service
Have your Rotorazer Saw® Platinum serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that safety of the tool is maintained.
Turn off the Rotorazer Saw® Platinum immediately if:
1) The power plug and/or power cord are defective.
2) The switch is defective.
3) Smoke comes out or there is a burning smell.
General Rotorazer Saw® Platinum Safety Warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference. The term "Rotorazer Saw® Platinum" in the warnings refers to your electric
(corded) Rotorazer Saw® Platinum or battery-operated (cordless) Rotorazer Saw® Platinum.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate Rotorazer Saw® Platinum in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Rotorazer Saw® Platinum can create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating Rotorazer Saw® Platinum. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Rotorazer Saw® Platinum plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) Rotorazer Saw® Platinum. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose Rotorazer Saw® Platinum to rain or wet conditions. Water entering Rotorazer
Saw® Platinum will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the Rotorazer
Saw® Platinum. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entan-
gled cords increase the risk of electric shock. Do not use the cord for purposes other than those
for which it was designed.
e) When operating Rotorazer Saw® Platinum outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating Rotorazer Saw® Platinum in a damp location is unavoidable, always use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Use Proper Extension Cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1
shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
