(Original instructions)
d. 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.
e. 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.
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 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.
5. 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.

Cutting procedures
@
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
u
Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard
cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
u
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the work-
piece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be
visible below the workpiece.
u
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.
u
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting ac-
cessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock
u
When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge
guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the
chance of blade binding.
u
Always use blades with correct size and shape (dia-
mond versus round) of arbour holes.
Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the
saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
u
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.
@
Warning! Contact with or inhalation of dusts
arising from sawing applications may endanger
the health of the operator and possible bystand-
ers. Wear a dust mask specifically designed for
protection against dust and fumes and ensure
that persons within or entering the work area are
also protected.
u
Thoroughly remove all dust after sawing.
u
Do not let children or pregnant women enter the work
area.
u
Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area.
u
Dispose of dust particles and any other debris safely.
u
The intended use is described in this instruction manual.
The use of any accessory or attachment or performance
of any operation with this tool other than those recom-
mended in this instruction manual may present a risk of
personal injury and/or damage to property.
u
The accessory will continue to move after releasing the
switch. Always switch the tool off and wait for the acces
-
sory to come to a complete standstill before putting the
tool down.
u
Keep blades sharp. Dull or damaged blades may cause
the saw to swerve or stall under pressure. Always use the
appropriate type of saw blade for the workpiece material
and type of cut.
u
When cutting pipe or conduit, make sure that they are free
from water, electrical wiring, etc.
u
Do not touch the workpiece or the blade immediately after
operating the tool. They can become very hot.
u
Be aware of hidden hazards, before cutting into walls,
floors or ceilings, check for the location of wiring and
pipes.
u
Avoid cutting nails, inspect the material that is being cut to
see if there are nails in it and remove before cutting.
u
Do not run the saw while carrying it at your side.
u
Make sure the depth locking lever is tight and secure
before making a cut.
u
When cutting is interrupted or the blade bound, please
release the trigger immediately and hold the saw firmly
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, otherwise,
kickback might happen.
