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.
1) Work Area Safety
a ) Keep work area clean and well lit.Cluttered or dark
areas inviteaccidents.
b ) 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.
c ) Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool.Distractions can cause you to losecontrol.
2) Electrical Safety
a ) 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.
b ) 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.
c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electricshock.
d ) 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

e ) 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.
f ) 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.
3) Personal Safety
a ) 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.
b ) 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.
c ) 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.
d ) 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.
e ) Do not overreach.Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpectedsituations.
f ) 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.
g ) 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.
h ) 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.
4) Power Tool Use and Care

wasdesigned.
b ) 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.
c ) 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.
d ) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children

untrainedusers.
e ) 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.
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, 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.
h ) 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.
5) Battery Tool Use and Care
a ) 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.
b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs.Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury andfire.
c ) 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.
d ) 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.
e ) 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.
f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature.Exposure to fire or temperature
above 130 °C may causeexplosion.
g ) 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.
6) Service
a ) 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.
b ) Never service damaged battery packs.Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized serviceproviders.
Safety Instructions for All Saws
Cutting Procedures
a ) DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area
and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary
handle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding the
saw, they cannot be cut by theblade.
b ) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard
cannot protect you from the blade below theworkpiece.
c ) 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.
d ) 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.
e ) 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.
f ) When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge
guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the
chance of bladebinding.
g ) 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
eccentrically, causing loss ofcontrol.
h ) 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.

FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ALL SAWS
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:
a ) Maintain a firm grip with both hands 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.
b ) 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.
c ) 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 saw blade binds, it
may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw
isrestarted.
d ) 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.
e ) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened
or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing
excessive friction, blade binding andkickback.
f ) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers
must be tight and secure before making cut. If blade
adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding
andkickback.
g ) Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or
other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects
that can causekickback.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAWS WITH A
PENDULUM BLADE GUARD
Lower Guard Function
a ) 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.
b ) 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.
c ) The lower guard may be retracted manually only for
special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound
cuts”. Raise the lower guard by retracting handle
and as soon as blade enters the material, the lower
guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower
guard should operateautomatically.
d ) 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.
Additional Safety Instructions for
Circular Saws
• Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearingloss.
• Wear a dust mask. Exposure to dust particles can cause
breathing difficulty and possibleinjury.
• Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than
recommended. For the proper blade rating refer to the
Technical Data. Use only the blades specified in this manual,
complying with EN 847-1.
• Use only saw blades that are marked with a speed equal
or higher than the speed marked on thetool.
• Avoid overheating of bladetips.
• Install the dust extraction port onto the saw beforeuse.
• Never use abrasive cut-offwheels.
• Do not use water feedattachments.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may
lead to loss ofcontrol.
Residual Risks
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided.These are:

8
ENGLISH
• Impairment ofhearing.
• Risk of personal injury due to flyingparticles.
• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
duringoperation.
• Risk of personal injury due to prolongeduse.
