SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listedbelowmayresultinelectricshock,reand/or
seriousinjury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
Theterm“powertool”inthewarningsreferstoyour
mains-operated(corded)powertoolorbattery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
whichmayignitethedustorfumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
youtolosecontrol.

7ENGLISH
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. Unmodiedplugsandmatchingoutletswill
reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tricshockifyourbodyisearthedorgrounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
4. 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 electric shock.
5. 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.
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. Power tools can produce electromagnetic
elds (EMF) that are not harmful to the user.
However, users of pacemakers and other similar
medical devices should contact the maker of their
device and/or doctor for advice before operating
this power tool.
Personal safety
1. 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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or med-
ication. A moment of inattention while operating
powertoolsmayresultinseriouspersonalinjury.
2. 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.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the o󰀨-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool.Carryingpowertoolswith
yourngerontheswitchorenergisingpowertools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. 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.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Always wear protective goggles to protect
your eyes from injury when using power tools.
The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in
the USA, EN 166 in Europe, or AS/NZS 1336
in Australia/New Zealand. In Australia/New
Zealand, it is legally required to wear a face
shield to protect your face, too.
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce
the use of appropriate safety protective equip-
ments by the tool operators and by other per-
sons in the immediate working area.
Power tool use and care
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
powertoolwilldothejobbetterandsaferatthe
rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and o󰀨.Anypowertoolthatcannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools.Suchpreventivesafetymeasuresreduce
theriskofstartingthepowertoolaccidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may a󰀨ect the power tool’s operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Manyaccidentsarecausedbypoorlymaintained
power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
arelesslikelytobindandareeasiertocontrol.

8ENGLISH
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
foroperationsdi󰀨erentfromthoseintendedcould
result in a hazardous situation.
8. 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.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work
gloves which may be entangled. The entangle-
mentofclothworkglovesinthemovingpartsmay
resultinpersonalinjury.
Battery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specied by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
onetypeofbatterypackmaycreateariskofre
whenusedwithanotherbatterypack.
2. Use power tools only with specically desig-
nated battery packs.Useofanyotherbattery
packsmaycreateariskofinjuryandre.
3. 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termi-
nalstogethermaycauseburnsorare.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help.Liquidejectedfromthebatterymaycause
irritation or burns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modied.Damagedormodiedbatteries
mayexhibitunpredictablebehaviourresultingin
re,explosionorriskofinjury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or
excessive temperature.Exposuretoreortem-
peratureabove130°Cmaycauseexplosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specied in the instruc-
tions.Chargingimproperlyorattemperatures
outsidethespeciedrangemaydamagethe
batteryandincreasetheriskofre.

1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement
parts.Thiswillensurethatthesafetyofthepower
tool is maintained.
2. Never service damaged battery packs. Service
ofbatterypacksshouldonlybeperformedbythe
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
3. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
Cordless Metal Cutter safety
warnings
Cutting procedures
1. 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.
2. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The
guardcannotprotectyoufromthebladebelowthe
workpiece.
3. 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.
4. 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expo-
sure, blade binding, or loss of control.
5. 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.
6. When ripping, always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide.Thisimprovestheaccuracy
of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
7. 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o󰀨-centre,causinglossof
control.
8. Never use damaged or incorrect blade wash-
ers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were
speciallydesignedforyoursaw,foroptimum
performanceandsafetyofoperation.
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 workpiece 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.
1. Maintain a rm 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.

9ENGLISH
2. 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.
3. 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 a saw blade
binds,itmaywalkuporkickbackfromthework-
piece as the saw is restarted.
4. 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.
5. Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpenedorimproperlysetbladesproduce
narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade
binding and kickback.
6. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers
must be tight and secure before making the
cut.Ifbladeadjustmentshiftswhilecutting,itmay
cause binding and kickback.
7. Use extra caution when sawing into existing
walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade
maycutobjectsthatcancausekickback.
8. ALWAYS hold the tool rmly with both hands.
NEVER place your hand, leg or any part of your
body under the tool base or behind the saw,
especially when making cross-cuts. If kickback
occurs,thesawcouldeasilyjumpbackwardsover
yourhand,leadingtoseriouspersonalinjury.
9. Never force the saw. Push the saw forward at a
speed so that the blade cuts without slowing.
Forcing the saw can cause uneven cuts, loss of
accuracy,andpossiblekickback.
Lower guard function
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. The lower guard may be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts”
and “compound cuts”. Raise the lower guard
by the retracting handle and as soon as the
blade enters the material, the lower guard
must be released. For all other sawing, the lower
guardshouldoperateautomatically.
4. Always observe that the lower guard is cover-
ing the blade before placing the saw down on
bench or oor. 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.
5. To check lower guard, open lower guard by
hand, then release and watch guard closure.
Also check to see that retracting handle does
not touch tool housing. Leaving blade exposed
is VERY DANGEROUS and can lead to serious
personalinjury.
Additional safety warnings
1. Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on
the saw blade.
2. Do not attempt to remove cut material when
blade is moving. Wait until blade stops before
grasping cut material.Bladescoastafterturno󰀨.
3. Place the wider portion of the saw base on
that part of the workpiece which is solidly
supported, not on the section that will fall o󰀨
when the cut is made. If the workpiece is short
or small, clamp it down. DO NOT TRY TO HOLD
SHORT PIECES BY HAND!
4. Never attempt to make a cut with the tool held
upside down in a vise. This is extremely dan-
gerous and can lead to serious accidents.
5. Wear safety goggles and hearing protection
during operation.
6. Do not use any abrasive wheels.
7. Only use the saw blade with the diameter that
is marked on the tool or specied in the man-
ual.Useofanincorrectlysizedblademaya󰀨ect
the proper guarding of the blade or guard opera-
tionwhichcouldresultinseriouspersonalinjury.
8. Always use the saw blade intended for cutting
the material that you are going to cut.
9. Only use the saw blades that are marked with
a speed equal or higher than the speed marked
on the tool.
10. Before setting the tool down after completing a
cut, be sure that the guard has closed and the
blade has come to a complete stop.
11. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
12. Wear a dust mask and hearing protection when
use the tool.
13. (For European countries only)
Always use the blade which conforms to
EN847-1, when cutting wood or like.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

PERINGATAN
KESELAMATAN
Peringatan keselamatan umum
mesin listrik
PERINGATAN: Bacalah semua peringatan
keselamatan, petunjuk, ilustrasi dan spesikasi
yang disertakan bersama mesin listrik ini.
Kelalaianuntukmematuhisemuapetunjukyang
tercantumdibawahinidapatmenyebabkansengatan
listrik, kebakaran dan/atau cedera serius.
Simpanlah semua peringatan
dan petunjuk untuk acuan di
masa depan.
Istilah “mesin listrik” dalam semua peringatan mengacu
padamesinlistrikyangdijalankandengansumberlistrik
jala-jala(berkabel)ataubaterai(tanpakabel).
Keselamatan tempat kerja
1. Jaga tempat kerja selalu bersih dan
berpenerangan cukup.Tempatkerjayang
berantakan dan gelap mengundang kecelakaan.

17 BAHASA INDONESIA
2. Jangan gunakan mesin listrik dalam
lingkungan yang mudah meledak, misalnya
jika ada cairan, gas, atau debu yang mudah
menyala. Mesin listrik menimbulkan bunga api
yangdapatmenyalakandebuatauuaptersebut.
3. Jauhkan anak-anak dan orang lain saat
menggunakan mesin listrik. Bila perhatian
terpecah, anda dapat kehilangan kendali.
Keamanan Kelistrikan
1. Steker mesin listrik harus cocok dengan
stopkontak. Jangan sekali-kali mengubah
steker dengan cara apa pun. Jangan
menggunakan steker adaptor dengan mesin
listrik terbumi (dibumikan). Stekeryang
tidakdiubahdanstopkontakyangcocokakan
mengurangi risiko sengatan listrik.
2. Hindari sentuhan tubuh dengan permukaan
terbumi atau yang dibumikan seperti pipa,
radiator, kompor, dan kulkas. Risiko sengatan
listrikbertambahjikatubuhAndaterbumikanatau
dibumikan.
3. Jangan membiarkan mesin listrik kehujanan
atau kebasahan.Airyangmasukkedalammesin
listrik akan meningkatkan risiko sengatan listrik.
4. Jangan menyalahgunakan kabel. Jangan
sekali-kali menggunakan kabel untuk
membawa, menarik, atau mencabut mesin
listrik dari stopkontak. Jauhkan kabel dari
panas, minyak, tepian tajam, atau bagian
yang bergerak.Kabelyangrusakataukusut
memperbesar risiko sengatan listrik.
5. Bila menggunakan mesin listrik di luar
ruangan, gunakan kabel ekstensi yang
sesuai untuk penggunaan di luar ruangan.
Penggunaankabelyangsesuaiuntuk
penggunaan luar ruangan mengurangi risiko
sengatan listrik.
6. Jika mengoperasikan mesin listrik di lokasi
lembap tidak terhindarkan, gunakan pasokan
daya yang dilindungi peranti imbasan arus
(residual current device - RCD). Penggunaan
RCD mengurangi risiko sengatan listrik.
7. Mesin listrik dapat menghasilkan medan
magnet (EMF) yang tidak berbahaya bagi
pengguna. Namun, pengguna alat pacu
jantungatauperalatanmedissejenisnyaharus
berkonsultasi dengan produsen peralatan tersebut
dan/atau dokter mereka sebelum mengoperasikan
mesin listrik ini.
Keselamatan Diri
1. Jaga kewaspadaan, perhatikan pekerjaan Anda
dan gunakan akal sehat bila menggunakan
mesin listrik. Jangan menggunakan mesin
listrik saat Anda lelah atau di bawah pengaruh
obat bius, alkohol, atau obat.Sekejapsaja
lalai saat menggunakan mesin listrik dapat
menyebabkancederabadanserius.
2. Gunakan alat pelindung diri. Selalu gunakan
pelindung mata. Peralatan pelindung seperti
masker debu, sepatu pengaman anti-selip, helm
pengaman,ataupelindungtelingayangdigunakan
untukkondisiyangsesuaiakanmengurangirisiko
cedera badan.
3. Cegah penyalaan yang tidak disengaja.
Pastikan bahwa sakelar berada dalam posisi
mati (o󰀨) sebelum menghubungkan mesin
ke sumber daya dan/atau paket baterai, atau
mengangkat atau membawanya. Membawa
mesinlistrikdenganjariAndapadasakelarnya
atau mengalirkan listrik pada mesin listrik
yangsakelarnyahidup(on)akanmengundang
kecelakaan.
4. Lepaskan kunci-kunci penyetel sebelum
menghidupkan mesin listrik.Kunci-kunciyang
masihterpasangpadabagianmesinlistrikyang
berputardapatmenyebabkancedera.
5. Jangan meraih terlalu jauh. Jagalah pijakan
dan keseimbangan sepanjang waktu. Hal ini
memungkinkankendaliyanglebihbaikatasmesin
listrikdalamsituasiyangtidakdiharapkan.
6. Kenakan pakaian yang memadai. Jangan
memakai pakaian yang longgar atau
perhiasan. Jaga jarak antara rambut dan
pakaian Anda dengan komponen mesin yang
bergerak.Pakaianyanglonggar,perhiasan,
ataurambutyangpanjangdapattersangkutpada
komponenyangbergerak.
7. Jika tersedia fasilitas untuk menghisap dan
mengumpulkan debu, pastikan fasilitas
tersebut terhubung listrik dan digunakan
dengan baik. Penggunaan pembersih debu dapat
mengurangibahayayangterkaitdengandebu.
8. Jangan sampai Anda lengah dan mengabaikan
prinsip keselamatan mesin ini hanya karena
sudah sering mengoperasikannya dan sudah
merasa terbiasa.Tindakanyanglalaidapat
menyebabkancederaberatdalamsepersekian
detiksaja.
9. Selalu kenakan kacamata pelindung
untuk melindungi mata dari cedera saat
menggunakan mesin listrik. Kacamata
harus sesuai dengan ANSI Z87.1 di Amerika
Serikat, EN 166 di Eropa, atau AS/NZS 1336 di
Australia/Selandia Baru. Di Australia/Selandia
Baru, secara hukum Anda juga diwajibkan
mengenakan pelindung wajah untuk
melindungi wajah Anda.
Menjadi tanggung jawab atasan untuk
menerapkan penggunaan alat pelindung
keselamatan yang tepat bagi operator mesin
dan orang lain yang berada di area kerja saat
itu.

Prosedur pemotongan
1. BAHAYA: Jauhkan tangan dari area
pemotongan dan mata pisau. Jaga tangan
kedua Anda pada pegangan tambahan, atau
tempat motor mesin berada. Kedua tangan
tidakakanterpotongmatapisaujikakeduanya
memeganggergaji.
2. Jangan meraih bagian bawah benda kerja.
Pelindung tidak dapat melindungi Anda dari mata
pisauyangadadibawahbendakerja.
3. Setel kedalaman pemotongan terhadap
ketebalan benda kerja. Sebagian gigi mata pisau
harusterlihatdibawahbendakerja.

19 BAHASA INDONESIA
4. Jangan pernah memegang benda kerja dengan
meletakkannya dalam genggaman tangan atau
jepitan kaki Anda. Pastikan benda kerja berada
pada platform yang stabil. Sangat penting
untukmenunjangpekerjaandenganbenaruntuk
meminimalkan tubuh terpapar, mata pisau terikat,
atau kehilangan kontrol.
5. Pegang mesin listrik pada permukaan
genggam yang terisolasi saat melakukan
pekerjaan karena alat pemotong mungkin
saja bersentuhan dengan kawat tersembunyi.
Sentuhandengankabel“hidup”jugaakan
menyebabkanbagianlogampadamesinteraliri
aruslistrikdanmenyengatoperator.
6. Saat membelah, selalu gunakan pagar
pembelah atau petunjuk tepi lurus. Hal ini
meningkatkan akurasi potongan dan mengurangi
kemungkinanterikatnyamatapisau.
7. Selalu gunakan mata pisau dengan ukuran
dan bentuk yang tepat (bentuk berlian atau
lingkaran) dari lubang lengkung. Mata pisau
yangtidaksesuaiuntukdipasangpadaperangkat
kerasgergajijikadigunakanakanmelencengdari
pusatnyasehinggamengakibatkankehilangan
kontrol.
8. Jangan pernah gunakan cincin mata pisau
atau baut yang salah. Cincin mata pisau dan
bautdirancangsecarakhususuntukgergajiAnda,
untukkinerjayangoptimaldankeselamatan
pengoperasian.
Penyebab hentakan balik dan peringatan terkait
— sentakan balik adalah reaksi mendadak dari
matagergajiyangterjepit,tersangkutatautidak
sejajar,menyebabkangergajiyangtidakterkontrol
mungkinterangkatdankeluardaribendakerjake
arah operator;
— saatmatapisauterjepitatautersangkutkuatoleh
goresan tertutup, mata pisau berhenti bergerak
dan reaksi motor menggerakkan unit dengan
cepat ke arah operator;
— jikamatapisauterikatatautidaksejajarpada
potongan, gigi pada tepi belakang mata pisau
dapatmenggalikepermukaanbendakerja
menyebabkanmatapisaukeluarnaikdarigoresan
dan melompat kembali ke arah operator.
Hentakan balik merupakan akibat dari salah cara
menggunakangergajidan/atauprosedurataukondisi
pengoperasianyangsalahdandapatdihindari
denganmelakukantindakankewaspadaanyangtepat
sebagaimana diuraikan di bawah ini.
1. Pertahankan pegangan yang kuat pada
gergaji dengan kedua tangan dan posisikan
lengan Anda untuk menahan kekuatan balik.
Posisikan tubuh Anda di sisi mata pisau,
bukan sejajar dengan mata pisau. Hentakan
balikdapatmenyebabkangergajimelompatke
belakang, namun kekuatan hentakan balik dapat
dikontrololehoperator,jikadilakukantindakan
pencegahanyangtepat.
2. Saat mata pisau terikat, atau saat menyela
pemotongan, lepaskan picu dan pegang
gergaji tidak bergerak dalam bahan kerja
sampai mata pisau benar-benar berhenti.
Jangan pernah mencoba melepas gergaji
dari pekerjaan atau menarik gergaji ke
belakang saat mata pisau bergerak, jika
tidak, akan terjadi hentakan balik. Periksa dan
ambiltindakanyangtepatuntukmenyingkirkan
penyebabterikatnyamatapisau.
3. Saat memulai ulang gergaji pada benda kerja,
pusatkan mata gergaji di goresan sehingga
gigi gergaji tidak tersangkut pada benda kerja.
Jikamatagergajitersangkut,makamatagergaji
mungkinkeluarataumenyentakbalikdaribenda
kerjasaatgergajidimulaiulang.
4. Tunjang panel besar untuk meminimalkan
risiko mata pisau terjepit dan terhentak balik.
Panel besar cenderung melengkung karena
beratnya.Penunjangharusditempatkandibawah
panel pada kedua sisi, dekat garis pemotongan
dan tepi panel.
5. Jangan gunakan mata pisau yang tumpul atau
rusak.Setmatapisauyangtidakdiasahatau
tidaktepatdapatmenghasilkangoresanyang
tipisyangdapatmenyebabkangesekanberlebih,
terikatnyamatapisaudanhentakanbalik.
6. Ketajaman mata pisau dan tuas pengunci
penyetel sudut harus kencang dan aman
sebelum pemotongan.Apabilapenyetelanmata
pisau bergeser saat memotong, hal ini dapat
menyebabkanmatapisauterikatdanterhentak
balik.
7. Berhati-hatilah saat menggergaji dinding
atau area buta lain.Matapisauyangmencuat
dapatmemotongobjekyangdapatmenyebabkan
hentakan balik.
8. SELALU pegang mesin kuat-kuat dengan
kedua tangan. JANGAN PERNAH letakkan
tangan, kaki atau bagian tubuh Anda di bawah
dudukan mesin atau di belakang gergaji,
terutama saat membuat potongan menyilang.
Apabilaterjadihentakanbalik,gergajidapat
dengan mudah melompat ke balakang tangan,
dan mengakibatkan cedera serius.
9. Jangan sekali-kali menekan gergaji. Dorong
gergaji ke depan dengan satu kecepatan
sehingga mata pisau memotong tanpa
melambat.Menekangergajidapatmenyebabkan
potonganyangtidakmerata,tidakadanyaakurasi,
dankemungkinanterjadinyahentakanbalik.
Fungsi pelindung
1. Periksa apakah pelindung bagian bawah
tertutup dengan baik setiap kali akan
digunakan. Jangan mengoperasikan gergaji
jika pelindung bagian bawah tidak bergerak
bebas dan menutup dengan cepat. Jangan
pernah menjepit atau mengikat pelindung
bagian bawah ke posisi terbuka.Jikagergaji
terjatuhdengantidaksengaja,pelindungbagian
bawah dapat bengkok. Naikkan pelindung bagian
bawah menggunakan pegangan penarik dan
pastikan pelindung bergerak bebas dan tidak
menyentuhmatapisauataubagianlain,dalam
semua sudut dan kedalaman potongan.

20 BAHASA INDONESIA
2. Periksa pengoperasian pegas pelindung
bagian bawah. Jika pelindung dan pegas tidak
beroperasi dengan benar, maka pelindung
dan pegas harus diservis sebelum digunakan.
Pelindung bagian bawah dapat beroperasi dengan
lambatkarenaadabagianyangrusak,lapisan
yanglengket,atauserpihan.
3. Pelindung bagian bawah dapat ditarik secara
manual hanya untuk pemotongan khusus
seperti “potongan plunge” dan “potongan
campuran”. Naikkan pelindung bagian
bawah menggunakan pegangan penarik, dan
pelindung bagian bawah harus dilepas segera
setelah mata pisau memasuki material. Untuk
semuapenggergajianlainnya,pelindungbagian
bawah harus beroperasi secara otomatis.
4. Selalu perhatikan apakah pelindung bagian
bawah menutupi mata pisau sebelum
menempatkan gergaji pada bangku atau
lantai.Matapisauyangtidakterlindungdan
meluncurakanmenyebabkangergajiberjalan
mundur,memotongapasajayangadadijalurnya.
Perhatikanlahwaktuyangdiperlukanmatapisau
untuk berhenti setelah sakelar dilepas.
5. Untuk memeriksa pelindung bagian bawah,
buka pelindung bawah dengan tangan lalu
lepas dan perhatikan penutupan pelindung.
Periksa juga untuk melihat apakah pegangan
penarik tidak menyentuh rumah mesin.
Membiarkanmatapisauterbukaadalahhalyang
SANGATBERBAHAYAdandapatmenyebabkan
cedera serius.
Peringatan keselamatan tambahan
1. Jangan menghentikan mata pisau dengan
tekanan lateral pada mata gergaji.
2. Jangan mencoba menghilangkan material
pemotongan saat mata pisau bergerak.
Tunggu sampai mata pisau berhenti sebelum
memegang material pemotongan. Mata pisau
meluncur setelah dimatikan.
3. Tempatkan bagian yang lebih besar dari
dudukan gergaji pada bagian benda kerja yang
disokong dengan kuat, bukan pada bagian
yang akan jatuh saat pemotongan. Jepit
benda kerja jika berukuran kecil atau pendek.
JANGAN MENCOBA MEMEGANG BAGIAN
YANG PENDEK DENGAN TANGAN!
4. Jangan pernah mencoba melakukan
pemotongan dengan mesin yang dipasang
terbalik pada ragum. Hal ini sangat berbahaya
dan dapat mengakibatkan kecelakaan serius.
5. Kenakan kacamata pengaman dan pelindung
telinga selama pengoperasian.
6. Jangan gunakan roda ampelas apa pun.
7. Gunakan hanya mata gergaji dengan diameter
yang ditandai pada mesin atau ditentukan
dalam petunjuk. Menggunakan mata pisau
denganukuranyangsalahakanmemengaruhi
perlindungan mata pisau atau pengoperasian
pelindungyangdapatmengakibatkancedera
serius.
8. Selalu gunakan mata gergaji yang khusus
digunakan untuk memotong material yang
Anda inginkan.
9. Hanya gunakan mata gergaji dengan
kecepatan yang sama atau lebih tinggi dari
kecepatan yang tertera pada mesin.
10. Sebelum menyetel mesin setelah
menyelesaikan satu potongan, pastikan
pelindung telah tertutup dan mata pisau telah
benar-benar berhenti.
