Careful handling and use of
electrical power tools
a)
Do not overload the device. Always
use an electrical power tool that is
intended for the task you are under-
taking.
By using the right electrical power
tool for the job you will work more safely and
achieve a better result.
b)
Do not use an electrical power tool if
its switch is defective.
An electrical power
tool that can no longer be switched on and off
is dangerous and must be repaired.
c)
Pull the mains plug from the socket
before you make any adjustments to
the device, change accessories or when
the device is put away.
This precaution is
intended to prevent you from unintentionally
starting the device.
d)
When not in use always ensure that
electrical power tools are kept out of
reach of children. Do not let anyone use
the device if he or she is not familiar
with it or has not read the instructions
and advice.
Electrical power tools are danger-
ous when they are used by inexperienced people.
e)
Look after the device carefully. Check
that moving parts are working prop-
erly and move freely. Check for any
parts that are broken or damaged
enough to detrimentally affect the
functioning of the device. Have dam-
aged parts repaired before you use the
device.
Many accidents have their origins in
poorly maintained electrical power tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools clean and sharp.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to jam and are
easier to control.
g)
Use the electrical power tool, accesso-
ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance
with these instructions and advice, and
the stipulations drawn up for this par-
ticular type of device. In doing this,
take into account the working condi-
tions and the task in hand.
The use of
electrical power tools for purposes other than
those intended can lead to dangerous situations.
Safety advice relating
specifically to this device
Ensure that the device is always used in accord-
ance with the advice in these operating instruc-
tions and only by persons over 16 years of age.
Note:
Do not use grinding discs. Failure to observe
this advice may result in injury or damage.
To avoid danger to life
from electric shock:
Frequently check the condition of the
device, mains lead and plug. Do not
use the device if these kinds of parts
are damaged. Never open up the device. A dam-
aged device, mains lead or plug presents a se-
rious danger to life from electric shock. Always
have any repairs carried out or replacement parts
fitted at the service centre or by an electrical
equipment repair specialist.
Do not operate the device if it is damp and do
not use it in a damp environment.
If you use the device outdoors, always connect
it through a residual current device (RCD) with
a maximum trip current of 30 mA. If using an
extension lead, always use one that is approved
for outdoor use.
Note:
Always keep the mains lead away from the
working area of the machine and lead away the
mains lead from the rear.
CAUTION! To avoid
the risk of injury:
a)
Keep your hands away from the area
around the saw and clear of the saw
blade. Hold the auxiliary handle or the
motor housing with your free hand.
If
you have both hands on the saw they cannot
be injured by the saw blade.
b)
Do not grip the underside of the work-
piece.
The blade guard cannot protect you
from the saw blade under the workpiece.
