SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!
Read all warnings, safety instructions and other instructions carefully before use. Failure to follow all the instructions and safety instructions can result in the risk of electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

WORK AREA

• Keep the work area clean and well lit. Dark and cluttered work areas increase the risk of accidents and injuries.

• Do not use power tools in explosive environments, such as in the vicinity of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools produce sparks that can ignite dust and fumes.

• Keep children and onlookers at a safe distance when using power tools. You can easily lose control of the tool if you are distracted.
  ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• The plug on the power tool must match the power point. Never modify the plug in any way. Never use an adapter with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets reduce the risk of electric shock.

• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or moisture. There is a greater risk of electric shock if water gets into a power tool.

• Be careful with the power cord. Never use the power cord to carry or pull the tool, or to pull out the plug from the mains socket. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or tangled power cords increase the risk of electric shock.

• If the tool is used outdoors, only use an extension cord approved for outdoor use. Cords intended for outdoor use reduce the risk of electric shock.

• If it is absolutely necessary to use power tools in damp conditions, use a powerpoint protected by a residual current device RDC. Using an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
  PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert. Pay attention to what you are doing, and use your common sense when working with power tools. Never use power tools if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention

• when using a power tool can result in serious personal injury.

• Use personal safety equipment. Wear safety glasses.

• Depending on the type of tool and how it is used, safety equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets and ear protection reduce the risk of personal injury.

• Never saw in asbestos.

• Dust from oak, ash and other types of wood can be carcinogenic. Use a dust mask and ensure there is adequate ventilation.

• Avoid accidental starting. Check that the power switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the power cord and/or the battery, or lifting/carrying the tool. Carrying a power tool with your finger on the switch, or connecting a tool to the mains supply when the switch is in the ON position, increases the risk of accidents and injuries.

• Remove Allen keys/spanners etc. before starting the tool.

• Spanners or the like that are left in a rotating part of the tool can cause personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance. This will ensure you have better control over the tool in unexpected situations.

• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose-fitting clothing, jewelry and long hair can get caught in moving parts.

• If dust extraction and dust collection equipment is available, this should be connected and used correctly. The use of such devices can reduce the risk of dust-related problems.

USING AND LOOKING AFTER POWER TOOLS

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for the planned work. The tool does the job better and safer when used at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the tool if it cannot be switched on and off with the power switch. Power tools that cannot be controlled with the power switch are dangerous and must be repaired.
• Unplug the power cord before making any adjustments, changing accessories or putting the power tool away. These safety precautions reduce the risk of accidently starting the power tool.
• Store power tools out of the reach of children when not in use. Never allow children, or anyone who is unfamiliar with the power tool and these instructions, to use the tool. Power tools are dangerous if used by inexperienced persons.
• Keep the power tool properly maintained. Check that moving parts are properly adjusted and do not jam, and that no parts are incorrectly fitted or damaged. Check for other factors that could affect functionality. If the power tool is damaged, it must be repaired before being used again. 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 jam and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and bits etc., in accordance with these instructions taking into account the actual working conditions and the work that is to be done. It can be dangerous to use power tools for purposes other than those they are intended to be used for.

SERVICE
The power tool must only be serviced by qualified personnel using identical spare parts. This will ensure that the power tool remains safe to use.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CIRCULAR SAW

• Never use grinding discs.

• Keep your hands away from the cutting area and blade. If you hold the tool with both hands, they cannot come into contact with blade.

• Do not put your hand under the workpiece. The guard does not protect you from the blade under the workpiece.

• Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Slightly less than one full tooth on the blade should be visible below the workpiece.

• Never hold the workpiece in your hands or across your legs. Secure the workpiece on a stable surface. It is important to support the workpiece properly so that body contact is minimized, the blade does not jam, and you do not lose control.

• Hold the power tool by the insulated grips when working in areas where it may come into contact with concealed electrical cables or its own power cord. Contact with a live cable will cause the metal parts on the tool to also become live – risk of electric shock.

• Always use a fence or guide to obtain a straight cut when sawing. This makes the cut more precise and reduces the risk of the blade jamming.

• Always use blades with the correct size and shape of center hole (rhomboidal or round). Blades that do not fit properly on the tool will run eccentrically, which will reduce performance.

• Never use damaged or incorrect washers or screws for the blade. Blade washers and screws are specially designed for the tool to ensure optimum functionality and maximum safety.
  Risk of kickback

  • Sudden kickback can occur when the saw blade gets stuck, jams or is incorrectly adjusted, whereby the saw kicks back up from the workpiece towards the user.
  • If the blade jams, or gets caught in a cut that is squeezed together, it will lock and the power of the motor can cause the saw to kick back towards the user.
  • If the blade is twisted or comes out of alignment in the cut, the teeth on the back edge of the blade can cut into the surface of the workpiece, so that the blade jerks out of the cut and kicks back towards the user.
  • Kickback occurs during incorrect use of the tool and/or incorrect working methods or conditions but can be prevented by taking the following measures.

• Hold the tool firmly with both hands and hold your arms in a position that prevents kickback. Stand to the side of the blade, not in line with it. Kickback can cause the tool to jerk backward, but the user can control this by taking the appropriate measures.

• If the blade jams, or the sawing action is interrupted for any reason, release the power switch and hold the saw still in the material until the blade has completely stopped. Never attempt to remove the saw from the workpiece, or pull the saw back, while the blade is still moving – otherwise kickback can occur. Check and rectify the reason why the blade has jammed.

• When restarting the tool in the workpiece, center the blade in the kerf and check that the teeth are not gripping the material. If the blade jams it can slip or kickback from the workpiece when the saw is started again.

• Support large boards to minimize the risk of kickback or blade jamming. Large boards often sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the board on both sides, close to the cutting line and close to the edge of the board.

• Do not use blunt or damaged blades. Poorly sharpened or incorrectly adjusted blades produce narrow saw cuts, which generate excessive friction and cause the blade to jam or kickback.

• The locking devices for the depth and angle of the blade must be tightened and secured before you start sawing. If the blade is adjusted during the sawing there is a risk of the blade jamming or kicking back.

• Take extra care when plunge cutting in walls or other similar areas where you cannot see what lies behind. The protruding blade may strike objects that can cause kickback.

BOTTOM HINGED GUARD

• Check that the bottom guard is closed before using the machine. Do not use the saw if the guard does not move freely and immediately closes around the blade. Never lock or block the guard in the open position. If you accidently drop the saw this could bend the guard. Lift up the bottom guard with the handle and check that it moves freely in all sawing depths and angles, and does not touch the blade or any other part.

• Check that the spring on the bottom guard works. If the guard and the spring do not function correctly they must be repaired before use. The bottom guard may be sluggish due to damaged parts, tacky deposits or accumulated dirt.

• The bottom guard must only be moved back manually for special applications, e.g. plunge sawing and combination sawing. Lift up the bottom guard by moving back the handle. The bottom guard must be released as soon as the blade comes into contact with the workpiece. The bottom guard will function automatically for all other types of sawing.

• Always check that the bottom guard covers the blade before placing the saw on the bench or floor. An unprotected and freely rotating blade can cause the saw to move backward, and cut everything in its path. Remember that the blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after releasing the power switch.
  GUARD

• Always check that the guard is closed before using the tool. Do not use the saw if the guard does not move freely and immediately closes around the blade. Never fasten or lock the guard in the open position. If you accidently drop the saw this could bend the guard. Check-in all cutting depths and angles that the guard moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part.

• Check that the guard’s return spring works and is in good condition. If the guard and the spring do not function correctly they must be repaired before use. The guard can become stiff as a result of damaged parts, tacky residues or the accumulation of dirt.

• Check that the base plate cannot move during plunge sawing if the blade has a bevel angle other than 90°. If the blade moves sideways it can get stuck and cause kickback.

• Always check that the guard covers the blade before placing the saw on the bench or floor. An unprotected and freely rotating blade can cause the saw to move backwards, and cut everything in its path. Bear in mind that it takes a while for the blade to stop after you have released the power switch.
