Caution - Read the operating instructions to reduce
the risk of injury
Wear ear-muffs.
The impact of noise can cau se damage to hearing.
Wear a breathing mask.
Dust which is injurious to health can be generated
when working on wood and other materials.
Never use the device to work on any materials
containing asbestos!
Wear Safety goggles.
Sparks generated during working or splinters, chips
and dust emitted by the device can cause loss of
sight.
5.1 CORDLESS CIRCULAR SAW
SAFETY RULES
CAUTION!
Read all safety regulations and instructions.
Any errors made in following the safety regulations and
instructions may result in an electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a safe place
for future use.
Safety instructions for all circular saws
Danger
:
a) Do not reach into the sawing area or touch the saw blade.
Hold the additional handle or the motor casing with your
other hand.
If you hold the circular saw in both hands, the
saw blade cannot injure them.
b) Do not reach under the workpiece.
The guard hood
cannot protect you from the saw blade under the workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece.
Less than one full tooth height should be visible
under the workpiece.
d) Never hold the workpiece you wish to saw in your hand
or on your leg.
Secure the workpiece on a sturdy surface. It
is important that you secure the workpiece well to minimize
the danger of body contact, the saw blade jamming or loss
of control.
e) Hold the appliance only by the insulated handles when
carrying out work during which the cutting tool could strike
concealed power cables or its own cable.
Contact with a live
cable will also make the metal parts of the appliance live and
will cause an electric shock.
f) Always use a stop or a straight edge when carrying out
longitudinal cuts.
This will improve your cutting accuracy
and reduce the possibility of the saw blade jamming.
g) Always use saw blades of the correct size and with a
suitable mounting hole (diamond shaped or round).
Saw
blades that do not match the mounting parts of the saw will
not rotate truly and will result in a loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade washers
or screws.
The saw blade washers and screws have
been specially designed for your saw to ensure perfect
performance and operational safety.
Additional safety instructions for all saws
Causes of and ways to avoid recoil:
•
A recoil is the sudden reaction resulting from a caught,
jammed or incorrectly aligned saw blade which may
result in the saw leaping out of the workpiece out of
control and towards the operator.
•
If the saw blade becomes caught or jammed in closing
saw gap, it will block and the power of the motor will
cause the saw to leap backwards towards the operator.
•
If the saw blade is twisted or incorrectly aligned in the cut,
the teeth in the rear saw blade edge may become caught
in the surface of the workpiece, which results in the saw
blade leaping out of the saw gap and the saw leaping
towards the operator.
A recoil is the result of incorrect or wrong use of the saw. It
can be prevented by suitable precautions, as described below.
a) Hold the saw firmly in both hands and hold your arms
in a position in which you can withstand the recoil forces.
Always hold the saw blade to one side. Never hold the
saw blade in a straight line with your body.
In the event of
a recoil the circular saw may leap backwards, but the user
can still overcome the recoil forces if he has taken suitable
precautions.
b) If the saw blade jams or the sawing operating is
interrupted for another reason, release the ON/OFF switch
and hold the saw steady in the workpiece until the saw
blade has reached a complete standstill. Never attempt to
take the saw out of the workpiece or to pull it backwards
whilst the saw blade is moving or there is a possibility of a
recoil.
Find the reason for the blade jamming and rectify it by
suitable means.
c) If you wish to restart a saw that is already in the
workpiece, center the saw blade in the saw gap and check
that the saw’s teeth are not caught in the workpiece.
If the
saw blade is jammed it may move out of the workpiece or
cause a recoil when the saw is restarted.
d) Support large panels to reduce the risk of a recoil by a
jammed saw blade.
Large panels may sag under their own
weight. Panels must be supported on both sides both near
the saw gap and also at the edge.
e) Do not use blunt or damaged saw blades.
Saw blades
with blunt or incorrectly aligned teeth will create increased
friction due to the saw gap being too small. In addition the
saw blade may also jam and cause recoil.
f) Secure the cutting depth and cutting angle settings
before starting to saw.
If the settings change as you are
sawing, the saw blade may jam and cause recoil.
g) Be particularly careful when carrying out a “plunge cut”
in a concealed area such as an existing wall.
The plunge-
cutting saw blade may block when sawing into concealed
objects and thus cause recoil.
Safety instructions for saws with a swing guard hood
a) Check that the bottom safety hood closes perfectly
