connected and properly used.
Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
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.
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
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 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. B
lades 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 were specially designed
for your saw, for optimum performance
and safety of operation.
