4.Ensure blade has come to a complete stop before putting tool down on a surface.
5.Cutting of pipes, when cutting pipes take care to ensure that the blade is long enough to
remain in the workpiece during cutting and that the end does not go into the pipe as it may
catch the other side of the pipe and transmit unexpected movement to the user or
workpiece.
6.When cutting into walls ensure that there are no electrical cables or pipes hidden within
the wall.
7.Do not remove tool from workpiece until tool has stopped moving and take care not to
touch the blade after work until it has cooled.
8.Use proper clamps and vices wherever possible, never use your hand to support a
workpiece. Always use two hands when holding the tool.
9.When cutting sheet material always ensure that three teeth are in contact with the
workpiece to avoid excessive vibration and damage to the blade.
10.Take care cutting pre-used wood as ii may contain nails and fixings, this will damage a
wood cutting blade.
RESIDUAL RISK
Important: Although the safety instructions and operating manuals for our tools contain
extensive instructions of safe working with power tools, every power tool involves a certain
residual risk which can not be completely excluded by safety mechanisms. Power tools must
therefore always be operated with caution!
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAINS POWERED BATTERY PACKS AND
CHARGERS (sold separately)
Chargers
-The charger is for indoor use only.
-Prior to plugging the charger in to the supply, check that the plug and the cable are in good
repair. If either are damaged, have the defective item replaced immediately by a suitably
qualified person. If the casing of the battery charger is damaged, it is good policy to have the
charger checked over by a suitably qualified person.
-Only use a correctly rated mains outlet to provide power, do not plug into site generators,
attach to engine generators or D.C. sources. Do not use a mains socket outlet that is not
switched.
-Do not attempt to charge battery packs that are too hot (over 30°C) or too cold (under 5°C),
if these conditions apply set the battery pack aside to "normalise" before proceeding with
the charging operation.
-Set up the charger and cable in a safe place where it won't be knocked, tripped over,
stepped on, etc. and where it is well ventilated. Make sure the ventilation slots in the
charger case are not obstructed, plug the charger into the socket outlet.
-Inspect the battery pack for damage, if it is undamaged, plug it into the charger, ensuring
the correct orientation. (Most chargers and batteries have 'keys' etc, to make sure the
battery pack is not inserted incorrectly, if you are having to 'force' the battery pack into the
charger, the chances are you have it the wrong way round, check and try again.)
-Switch the charger on and check that the correct indicators illuminate, allow the battery
pack to charge (see the specific instructions for your charger). Once charging is complete,
switch the charger off, remove the battery pack and store, repeat the procedure if you have
more than one battery pack to charge.
