GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING
Read all the safety notes, instructions, illustrations and technical details supplied with this power tool. Failure to follow the safety notices and instructions may result in an electric shock, fire and/or severe injury.
Keep all safety notes and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” used in the safety instructions refers to mains-operated power tools (corded) and battery-powered power tools (cordless).

Work place safety

a) Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not work with the power tool in areas with a risk of explosion where flammable liquids, gases or dusts are present. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and other persons away from the power tool while you are using it. If you are distracted, you could lose control of the power tool.

Electrical safety

a) The connector plug for the power tool must fit in the socket. The plug must not be modified in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs in combination with power tools with protective earthing. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces like pipes, heaters, stoves and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Keep power tools away from rain or moisture. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not use the cord for improper purposes such as for carrying the power tool, for hanging it up or for pulling or unplugging it from the socket. 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, use only extension cords that are suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating the power tool in a damp environment cannot be avoided, use a RCD. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Safety of persons

a) Be careful, pay attention to what you are doing and approach work with a power tool in a reasonable manner.
Do not use any power tool if 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.
b) Wear personal protective gear and always wear safety glasses. Protective equipment such as dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidentally activating the device. Make sure that the power tool is turned off before you connect it to the power supply and/or the rechargeable battery, pick it up or carry it. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or connecting the power tool to a power supply while the switch is set to “on” may lead to accidents.
d) Remove all adjusting tools or spanners before you switch 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) Avoid an abnormal posture. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. 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.
g) If there is an option for installing dust suction devices and dust containers, these should be attached and used correctly. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not be lulled into a false sense of security and ignore the safety rules for power tools, even if you are well acquainted with power tools, having used them frequently. Using power tools without due care and attention can cause serious injuries in a split second.

Using and handling the power tool

a) Do not overload the power tool. Use the right power tool for your work. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use a power tool if its switch is defective. 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 rechargeable battery from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing insertion tools or storing the power tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Keep unused power tools out of the reach of children.
Do not let any individual who is not familiar with the power tool or who has not read these instructions operate this power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and insertion tools with care.
Check to make sure that the moving parts are functioning properly and not stuck, whether parts are broken or damaged so as to affect the function of the power tool.
If any parts of the power tool are damaged, have them 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 and insertion tools, etc., in accordance with these instructions. At the same time, consider 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 handle surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and handle surfaces will prevent you from operating and controlling the power tools safely in unforeseen situations.

Cordless tool use and care

a) Only charge the rechargeable batteries with chargers recommended by the manufacturer. Chargers designed for a particular rechargeable battery type pose a risk of fire if used with other types of rechargeable battery.
b) Only use the rechargeable batteries designated for use in power tools. Using other rechargeable batteries may result in injury and a risk of fire.
c) Keep the unused rechargeable battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metallic objects that could bridge the contacts. A short circuit between the contacts of the rechargeable battery could result in burns or fire.
d) If used improperly, liquid may leak out of the rechargeable battery. Avoid coming into contact with it. Rinse with water in the event of accidental contact.
If liquid comes into contact with your eyes, also seek medical attention. Fluid leaked from the rechargeable battery may cause skin irritations or burns.
e) Do not use a damaged or modified rechargeable battery. Damaged or modified rechargeable batteries can be unpredictable and may result in fire, an explosion or a risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a rechargeable battery to fire or excessively high temperatures. Fire or temperatures above 130 °C may cause an explosion.
g) Carefully follow all instructions for charging the battery and never charge the battery or cordless tool outside of the temperature range indicated in the instructions.
Improper charging or charging outside of the permitted temperature range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

Service

a) Only have your power tool repaired by a qualified professional and only with original spare parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b) Never perform maintenance on damaged rechargeable batteries. Only the manufacturer or authorised service companies may perform maintenance on rechargeable batteries.

Problem Possible cause Solution
The LEDs on the charger do not light up. The mains plug or the re- chargeable
battery have not been correctly inserted. Check whether the mains plug of the

charger has been cor- rectly inserted into the mains socket.
Check whether the battery is securely positioned in the charging compartment and is in contact.
The battery life is too short.| The battery is not cor- rectly charged.| The battery only reaches its maximum charge level and its maximum duration after 4 to 5 charge cycles.
The saw will switch off when working.| The rechargeable battery is almost empty and must be charged. When the battery is completely charged, it may be that the thermal voltage pro- tection of the battery has been activated. This may happen if the saw is used over a longer period.| Let the rechargeable battery stand in the charger for an hour. This time is necessary so that  the battery can cool off and the protective circuit can be reset.
Sparks can be seen through the air vents.| /| This is normal and absolutely no cause for concern.
The saw has no power.| The charger has not been inserted.| Connect the charger with a properly installed socket.
The saw blade is coming loose.| The saw blade has not been inserted correctly.| Insert the saw blade as far as possible into the saw blade holder.
The locking mechanism of the saw blade holder 4 has not been returned to the starting position.| Insert the saw blade as far as possible into  the  saw blade holder and ensure that the locking mechanism for the saw blade holder has turned clock- wise to the stop point.
The saw is not sawing straight.| You are exerting too much force on the saw.| Apply less contact pressure or feed when cutting.
The saw has not been properly adjusted for the work piece material.| Adjust the stroke rate
