GENERAL SAFETY RULES
■
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
■
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.
Use of the power
tool for operations different from intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
■
Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting battery pack.
Inserting the battery pack into
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
■
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.
■
Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
■
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal abjects 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.
■
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.
SERVICE
■
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.
■
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition.
Be aware of possible hazards
when not using your battery tool or when changing
accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
■
Do not place battery tools or their batteries near
fire or heat.
This will reduce the risk of explosion
and possibly injury.
WARNING
Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode
inthe presence of a source of ignition, such as a
pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, never use any cordless product in the
presence of open flame. An exploded battery can
propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush
with water immediately.
CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY
■
Keep hands away from cutting area and 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.
■
Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The
guard cannot protect you from the blade below the
workpiece.
■
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.
■
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or
bolts.
The blade washers and bolt were specially
designed for your saw, for optimum performance and
safety of operation.
■
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.
■
Hold power tool by insulating gripping surfaces
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
tool live and shock the operator.
■
When ripping always use a rip fence or a straight
edge guide.
This improves the accuracy of cut and
reduces the chance of blade binding.
■
Always use blades with correct size and shape
arbor holes.
Blades that do notmatch the mounting
hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing
loss of control.
■
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or
bolts.
The blade washers and bolt were specially
designed for your saw, for optimum performance and
safety of operation.
