2 Safety
2.1 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 mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
▶ Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
▶ 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.
▶ Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
▶ 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.
▶ 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.
▶ Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
▶ 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 or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
▶ When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
▶ 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.
Personal safety
▶ 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 moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
▶ Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
▶ 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.
▶ 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.
▶ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
▶ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and
clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
▶ 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 dust-related hazards.
▶ 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.
Power tool use and care
▶ 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.
▶ 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.
▶ 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.
▶ 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.
▶ 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.
▶ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
▶ 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.
▶ 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.
Battery tool use and care
▶ 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.
▶ Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
▶ 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.
▶ 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.
▶ Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
▶ Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature above 130° C (265 °F) may cause explosion.
▶ Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool
outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
▶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.
▶Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
2.2 Safety instructions for all saws
Cutting procedures
▶ DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade.
▶ Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the
blade below the workpiece.
▶ 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.
▶ 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.
▶ 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.
▶ When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves
the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
▶ 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.
▶ 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.
▶ Maintain a firm grip 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.
▶ 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.
▶ 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.
▶ 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.
▶ Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades
produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
▶ 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.
▶ 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
▶ 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.
▶ 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.
▶ 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.
▶ 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.
2.3 Additional safety instructions
Personal safety
▶ Never tamper with or modify the product or accessories in any way.
▶ Operate the power tool only together with the safety devices that belong to
it.
▶ Check that the clamping flange is securely and correctly installed each time
before putting the product into operation.
▶ If you use the power tool without a dust extractor, always wear light
respiratory protection when undertaking work that creates dust.
▶ Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
▶ Take breaks between working and do physical exercises to improve the blood
circulation in your fingers.
Exposure to vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the
blood vessels and nervous system in the fingers, hands and wrists.
▶ The power tool is not intended for use by debilitated persons who have
received no special training.
▶ Do not switch the power tool on until it is at the workplace and has been
brought to its working position.
▶ Remove the battery if a problem occurs with the power tool, whenever you
change accessory tools or accessories and before storing or transporting the
power tool.
▶ Do not attempt to brake the power tool by applying lateral pressure to the
saw blade.
▶ Before inserting the battery, check that the saw is switched off and that
the switch-on interlock is activated. In this way you avoid injuries due to
unintentional starting of the power tool.
▶ While the power tool is running, do not touch the clamping flange or the
clamping screw.
▶ Before you lay down the power tool, wait until the power tool has come to a
complete stop.
▶ Before changing the accessory tool, wait until the power tool has cooled
down.
▶ Never press the drive spindle lock button while the saw blade is rotating.
▶ Never direct the power tool toward persons.
▶ The switch-on interlock must always be activated whenever you change
accessories or the battery, for transport and when you are going to stow the
power tool away.
▶ Always use a saw blade suitable for the material and the condition of the
workpiece.
▶ Bring the saw blade into contact with the workpiece only when the circular
saw is switched on.
▶ Adapt forward pressure to the saw blade and the material being cut. In this
way you prevent the saw v blade from stalling and possibly causing kickback.
▶ Avoid overheating the tips of the saw blade teeth.
▶ Before beginning work, check all the teeth of the saw blade for damage or
missing tips. Use only saw blades with all teeth intact and complete.
▶ The rated speed of the accessory tool must be at least equal to the maximum
speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated
speed can disintegrate and fly apart.
▶ Do not work in an environment heavily contaminated with dust.
▶ Dust produced by grinding, sanding, cutting and drilling can contain
dangerous chemicals. Some examples are: lead or lead-based paints; brick,
concrete and other masonry products, natural stone and other products
containing silicates; certain types of wood, such as oak, beech and chemically
treated wood; asbestos or materials that contain asbestos. Determine the
exposure of the operator and bystanders by means of the hazard classification
of the materials to be worked. Implement the necessary measures to restrict
exposure to a safe level, for example by the use of a dust collection system
or by the wearing of suitable respiratory protection. The general measures for
reducing exposure include:
▶ working in an area that is well ventilated,
▶ avoidance of prolonged contact with dust,
▶ directing dust away from the face and body,
▶ wearing protective clothing and washing exposed areas of the skin with water
and soap.
▶ Always wear a dust mask that meets the requirements of the application.
▶ Before starting work, check the hazard class of the dust that will be
produced when working. Use an
industrial vacuum cleaner with an officially approved protection
classification in compliance with locally applicable dust protection
regulations.
▶ Comply with national health and safety requirements.
▶ Use clamps or some other practical means to secure the workpiece and keep it
in a stable position.
Attempting to stabilize the workpiece by hand or with your body is inadequate
and can result in loss of control. Do not have the workpiece held in position
by a helper.
▶ Do not look directly into the light source (LEDs) incorporated in the power
tool and do not direct the light at other persons’ faces.
▶ Risk of injury by falling tools and/or accessories. Before starting work,
check that installed accessories are secure.
▶ Before beginning work, check the guard for damage. Use the product only when
the guard is undamaged.
▶ When sawing through the workpiece, ensure to protect persons and the work
area on the other side.
While sawing is in progress, parts of the workpiece can fall and lead to
injuries.
▶ Never cut into unknown materials and keep the line of cut above and below
the workpiece free of obstacles. The product can kick back if the saw blade
comes into contact with an obstructing object.
▶ Metal cuttings are sharp and can lead to injuries. Keep your clothing closed
so that cuttings cannot find their way into your gloves, shoes or other parts
of your clothing.
▶ Pay attention to the direction in which the metal chips fly. The chips are
hot and can lead to fire, burns and cut injuries. Replace the saw blade when
you notice that spark formation increases.
▶ The chip collector can become very hot. Always wear protective gloves when
emptying or removing the chip collector.
Electrical safety
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area (e.g. using a detector) to
ensure that no concealed
electric cables or gas and water pipes are present. External metal parts of
the power tool can become live, for example if you accidentally damage
electric wiring. This causes an increased risk of electric shock.
2.4 Careful handling and use of batteries
▶ Comply with the following safety instructions for the safe handling and use
of Li-ion batteries. Failure to comply can lead to skin irritation, severe
corrosive injury, chemical burns, fire and/or explosion.
▶ Use only batteries that are in perfect working order.
▶ Treat batteries with care in order to avoid damage and prevent leakage of
fluids that are extremely harmful to health!
▶ Do not under any circumstances modify or tamper with batteries!
▶ Do not disassemble, crush or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to
temperatures over 80 °C (176 °F).
▶ Never use or charge a battery that has suffered an impact or been damaged in
any other way. Check your batteries regularly for signs of damage.
▶ Never use recycled or repaired batteries.
▶ Never use the battery or a battery-operated power tool as a striking tool.
▶ Never expose batteries to the direct rays of the sun, elevated temperature,
