1.2 General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your electrically-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1. Work area safety
   a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
   b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
   c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety
   a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
   b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
   c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will in- crease the risk of electric shock.
   d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
   e) When operating a power tool outdoors only, use an extension cords suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A momentary lack of attention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
   b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
   c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
   d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
   e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing 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, clothing and gloves 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 dust collection can reduce dustrelated 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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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 and accessories. 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 instruc- tions, 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. Battery tool use and care
   a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
   b) **WARNING!** Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs and respectively battery types. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of explosions, injury and fire.
   c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
   d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
   e) Do not use a damaged or modified battery. Damaged or modified batteries can behave unexpectedly and lead to fires, explosions or injuries.
   f) Do not expose a battery for fire or high temperatures. Fire or temperatures above 130°C (265°F) can cause an explosion.
   g) Follow all the instructions for charging and never charge the battery or the cordless tool outside the temperature range specified in the operating instructions. Incorrect charging or charging outside the permitted temperature range can destroy the battery and increase the fire risk.

6. 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.
   b) Never service damaged batteries. All maintenance of batteries should only be carried out by the manufacturer or authorised customer service points.

1.3 Circular Saw Safety Warnings
PIPECUT mini:
Never work without the protection devices stipulated for the respective operating sequence and do not effect any modifications on the machine that could impair safety. Protect the machine and the rechargeable batteries from humidity!
Do not throw the rechargeable batteries into a fire!
Remove the rechargeable batteries from the machine before carrying out any setting, retooling, maintenance or cleaning tasks.
Ensure that the machine is switched off when you push in the rechargeable battery.
Please remove the rechargeable battery from the machine if the machine is put down, transported or stored unattended.
Clean the machine before placing the machine in the transport packaging.
Make sure that no metal chips come near the battery contacts. These can cause a short circuit. Make sure that there are no flammable materials nearby. Glowing chips can cause a fire. The danger area of the chip flight must be kept clear in any case.
The cut edge may be at a higher temperature after the cut, which could result in burns. Also pay attention to an ergonomic and body-friendly way of working with the recurring use of larger and heavy profile materials. Handling heavy objects can cause back damage.
Clean the saw system after each work step and when changing materials.
Remaining chips can, depending on the material, lead to a fire.
When processing metals, no suction is to be used, only the chip bag.
Make sure that nobody is in the area of the saw cuts. Especially with short sections it can happen that these are caught by the saw blade. Protective equipment must always be worn around the saw!
When making plunge cuts, immerse very slowly with care.
When cutting pipes> Ø42mm, the saw blade must be immersed up to an angle of 90 ° between the pipe wall and the saw blade and advanced.
For cuts> Ø42mm, the tube must be turned evenly against the direction of rotation of the saw blade.
In addition to being fixed in the saw, the material to be cut must be held with one hand on the opposite side of the saw (left).
Do not use:
Cracked and misshapen saw blades.
Saw blades made of high speed steel (HSS saw blades).
Blunt saw blades as they impose an excessive load on the motor.
Saw blades which are not suitable for the saw blade’s idling speed.
Grinding discs
Instructions on the use of personal protective equipment:
Always wear ear protectors during work.
Always wear a dust mark during work.
Always wear safety glasses during work.
Always wear safety shoes during work.
Always wear protective gloves during work.
Instructions on operation:
Sawing method
a) DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. 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 the workpiece in your hands or across your leg while cutting. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimise body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. 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 off-centre, 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.
Kickback causes and related warnings

• Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator.
• When the blade is pinched or jammed tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator.
• If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.

Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
b) When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If a saw blade binds, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
d) Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making the cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback. g) 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
a) Check the lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if the lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the 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.
b) 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.
c) The lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound cuts”. Raise the lower guard by the retracting handle and as soon as the blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.
d) Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing the 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.

Care and Maintenance

** Unplug the rechargeable battery for all service work!
ROTHENBERGER -machines are designed to be low in maintenance. The ball bearings used are greased for life. When the machine has been in operation for a longer period of time, we recommend to hand the machine in at an authorized ROTHENBERGER customer service shop for inspection. Only use our special grease, order No. 049040 (1 kg tin) for all greasing points.
Storage:
If the machine is not used for a longer period of time, it has to be carefully cleaned. Spray bright metal parts with a rust inhibitor.
Charger:**
Repairs to the charger must only be carried out by qualified electricians. If the mains connection cable of this tool is damaged, in order to prevent endangering personnel and property it must be replaced by the manufacturer, or the Customer Service of the manufacturer, or a similarly qualified person.

Troubleshooting

**** Determining the causes for existing defects and eliminating these always requires increased attention and caution. Pull the mains plug beforehand!

the rechargeable battery
Rechargeable battery not engaged in end position| Allow rechargeable battery to engage completely
Rechargeable bat- tery almost empty, an LED on the rechargeable battery is flashing| Electronic system protects the rechargeable battery from deep discharge| Check, press button 11. Fig. 1 + 7 + B
Only one LED is still glowing.
Charge the rechargeable battery.
Overload, machine switches off| A sustained load has overheated the machine or the rechargeable battery. A warning signal is
sounded (constant bleeping).
It will go out after max. 30 seconds or after the switch trigger is re- leased.| Allow the machine and the rechargeable battery to cool down.
The rechargeable battery can be cooled down much faster with a charger with air cooling.
The machine can also be cooled down much faster by using a different rechargeable battery and idling the machine.
The machine switches off at a sudden increase in load| The sudden increase in load also causes the current that is required for the machine to rise. This rise in current, which occurs when there is a sudden blockage or backlash, is measured and then leads to the machine being switched off| Switch off the machine by releasing the switch trigger.
Afterwards, you can switch the machine back on again and resume work as normal.
Try to avoid further blockages
Saw blade jams when the machine is advanced| Feed rate too fast| Reduce feed speed
Blunt saw blade| Release the switch immediate-ly. Remove the machine from the workpiece and replace the saw blade
Tension in the workpiece|
Poor machine guidance| Use parallel stop
Uneven workpiece surface| Straighten the surface
Burn marks on the cut surfaces| The saw blade used is unsuitable for the task or blunt| Replace saw blade
Chip ejection blo- cked| Wood is too damp|
Extended operation without extrac- tion| Connect to an external extraction, e.g. portable dust extractor
