and balance at all times.
This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and
clothing away from moving parts.
Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust-related
hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety
principles.
A careless action can cause severe injury
within a fraction of a second.
4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
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 tool’s
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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR ALL SAWS
Cutting procedures
a)
DANGER: Keep hands away from
cutting area and the blade.
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 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.
e)
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact
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 eccentrically, causing loss
of control.
h)
Never use damaged or incorrect blade
washers or bolt.
The blade washers and bolt
