Safety
3
adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding
and kickback.
Ŷ
Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls
or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut
objects that can cause kickback.
LOWER GUARD FUNCTION
Ŷ
Check lower guard for proper closing before each
use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not
move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or
tie the lower guard into the open position. If saw is
accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise
the lower guard with the retracting handle and make
sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any
other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
Ŷ
Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If
the guard and the spring are not operating properly,
they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may
operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy
deposits, or a build-up of debris.
Ŷ
Lower guard may be retracted manually only for
special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound
cuts”. Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as
soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard
must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard
should operate automatically.
Ŷ
Always observe that the lower guard is covering the
blade before placing saw down on bench or floor.
An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to
walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be
aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after
switch is released.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
Ŷ
The dust produced when using the product may be
harmful to your health, inflammable, or explosive. Do
not inhale the dust. Use a dust extraction system,
and wear a suitable dust protection mask. Remove
deposited dust thoroughly, e.g., with a brush and
vacuum cleaner.
Ŷ
Do not use any abrasive wheels.
Ŷ
Use only blades specified in this manual, complying
with EN 847-1.
Ŷ
Avoid overheating the blade tips. Do not use dull or
damaged blades. Do not force the tool.
Ŷ
Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than
recommended.
Ŷ
Wear ear protection.
Ŷ
Clamp workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped
workpieces can cause severe injury and damage.
Ŷ
Thoroughly check the material to be cut, particularly
when using recycled wood, for foreign objects such as
nails, screws, and staples. If nails, screws, staples or
similar items contact the blade whilst cutting, the saw
will be damaged and severe injury to the operator or
others may occur.
Ŷ
Do not touch the saw blade immediately after sawing.
The saw blade gets hot during sawing.
ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your
tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to
flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such
as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach
or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short
circuit.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Transport the battery in accordance with local and national
provisions and regulations.
Follow all special requirements on packaging and labelling
when transporting batteries by a third party. Ensure that
no batteries can come in contact with other batteries
or conductive materials while in transport by protecting
exposed connectors with insulating, non-conductive caps
or tape. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or
leaking. Check with the forwarding company for further
advice.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk
factors. The following hazards may arise and the operator
should pay special attention to avoid the following:
Ŷ
Injury caused by kickback
– Read and understand the information in this manual.
Ŷ
Injury caused by vibration
– Limit exposure. See Risk Reduction.
Ŷ
Injury caused by dust
– Wear eye protection at all times. Wear appropriate
dust mask with suitable filters that can protect
against particles from the material being worked on.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke in the work area. Ensure
adequate ventilation.
Ŷ
Electric shock
– The blade may contact hidden wiring causing
parts of the product to become live. Always hold
the product by the designated handles and take
care when blind-cutting into walls and floors where
cables may be hidden.
NOTE: When working on walls, ceilings, or floors, take
care to avoid electric cables and gas or water pipes.
Ŷ
Injury from contact with the cutting blade
– The blades are sharp and will become hot during
use. Wear gloves when changing blades. Keep
hands away from the cutting area at all times. Never
hold workpiece being cut in your hands or across
your leg. Clamp the work piece whenever possible.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling,
numbness, and blanching of the fingers, usually apparent
upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to
cold and dampness, diet, smoking, and work practices
