SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work Area

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas will invite accidents.
2. 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.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distraction can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

1. 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.

2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

3. Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
   Damaged cords should be replaced immediately by qualified repair personnel. Damaged cords will increase the risk of electric shock.

5. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor heavy duty extension cord and use in conjunction with a residual current device (RCD).

6. 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.

7. Recommendation for the use of a residual current device with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

Personal Safety

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use the tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use safety equipments. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT suitable for eye protection.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on may invite accidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,make sure that these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

Tool Use and Care

1. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the work piece by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
2. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
3. Do not use the tool if the switch cannot be turned on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired before use.
4. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustment, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures can reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children or other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6. Maintain tools with care. Keep the cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
8. Some accessories suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool. Please check all accessories to be used are suitable.

Service

1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts.

Specific Safety Rules

1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact the hidden wirings or its own cord. Contact with alive wire will make exposed metal part of the tool alive and shock the operator.
2. Do not start the saw with the blade touching any surface. The blade action will bounce the tool and may cause body injury.
3. Allow the tool to come to a complete stop before putting it down. A running tool will jerk when the blade tip contacts any surface.
4. Always remove the plug from the mains socket before making any adjustments or maintenance, including changing the blade.
5. Do not let anyone under the age of 18 years operate this saw.
6. Always stand to one side when operating the saw and allow the blade to come to rest naturally.
7. Never use a cracked or distorted saw blade. Only use sharp blades.
8. When cutting round wood, use clamps to prevent the work piece from turning on both sides of the blade.
9. Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste close by the blade.
10. Rags, cloths, cord and string and the like should never be left around the work area.
11. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect the work piece and remove all nails and other foreign objects before sawing.
12. Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first switching off the machine.Do not slow or stop a blade with a piece of wood or other objects.
