SAFETY GUIDELINES
Work Area Safety
- Ensure that your work area is kept well
lit and clean.Lack of visibility and clutter
greatly increase the risk of accident.
- Keep bystanders and children clear
when operating a power tool or
machine. They can cause distraction or risk
injury themselves.
- Ensure you are not operating the
power tool or machinery in the
presence of ammable gases, dust,
liquids, or anything that creates an
explosive atmosphere. Power tools and
machinery can create sparks which can
lead to ignition in these environments.
Personal Safety
- Always wear personal protective
equipment. Eye protection, ear protection,
dust masks, and other protective
equipment will help to reduce the risk of
personal injury.
- Dress appropriately. DO NOT wear or
loose clothing that can get caught in
moving parts. Keep hair, loose clothing,
jewelery, and anything else that could be

INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow
instructions and warnings could lead to
serious injury, electric shock, or re.
of risk away from moving parts or they
could be caught.
- Always remain alert and DO NOT
operate the power tool or machinery
under the inuence of any substances
(drugs, medications, alcohol). Losing
focus could lead to injury while operating
power tools and machinery.
- Always keep proper footing and
balance. Overreaching can lead to slipping
and falling which can result in injury.
- Ensure the power switch is in the o
position before connecting any batter
or power source to the power tool or
machinery. This can lead to accidents
as tools and machinery can suddenly
re when it is not expected, leading to
accident.
- Use all provided dust collection and
extraction attachments if included. This,
with the use of dust masks, can help keep
you safe from dust and keep your work site
clear while working.
- Ensure loose parts such as a wrench
or adjusting key are removed before
starting the power tool or machinery.
Failure to remove these can result in
serious injury.

SAFETY GUIDELINES
Electrical Safety
- DO NOT use the power tool or
machinery in raining conditions or
wet areas where the power tool or
machinery could get wet. Water in the
power tool or machinery can lead to
electric shock.
- Only use the power tool or machinery
when the plug correctly matches the
power outlet. Modifying plugs greatly
increases the risk of electric shock.
- Keep the power cord away from
anything that could damage it such as
sharp edges, moving parts or heat. A
damaged power cord increases the risk of
electric shock.
- Only operate outdoors with the use
of an outdoor extension lead. Not all
extension leads are suited to outdoor use
and using one which is not can greatly
increase the risk of electric shock.
- Avoid body contact with grounded
or earthed surfaces. Surfaces such as
radiators, ranges, pipes, and refrigerators
can increase the risk of electric shock due
to your body being earthed or grounded.
WARNING
Electric shock can cause serious injury
or, in some cases be fatal.
Power Tool & Machinery Use
and Care
- Use the correct tool for the job. Forcing
a tool to do a job it was not designed for
increases the risk of accident or injury.
- Disconnect power tools and machinery
from power or remove batteries before
storing tools and machinery or making
any changes or adjustments to them.
This reduces or removes the risk of the
power tool or machinery accidentally ring
which can help prevent injury or accident.
- Check the power tool for damage
or any condition that could aect the
way the tool or machine works. An
unrepaired tool or machine can lead to
accident an injury.
- Only use the power tool or machinery
with genuine parts or accessories that
are designed to be used with the power
tool or machinery. Failure to do so could
result in accident, injury, or damage to your
tool or machinery.
- Store you tool or machinery out
of reach of children and away from
untrained personnel when not in use.
Use by somebody untrained or a child
could lead to accident or serious injury.

SAFETY GUIDELINES
Specic Safety
- Keep hands away from cutting area
and the blade. Keep your second
hand on the auxiliary handle or motor
housing. If both hands are holding the
saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
- Do not reach underneath the
workpiece. The guard cannot protect you
from the blade below the workpiece.
- 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.
- Never hold the piece being cut in your
hands or across your leg. Secure the
workpiece to a stable platform. It is
important to support the work properly to
minimize body exposure, blade binding, or
loss of control.
or it’s own cord. Contact with a “live”
wire will also make exposed metal parts
of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator and electric shock.
- When ripping, always use a rip fence
or straight edge guide. This improves the
accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of
blade binding.
- 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.
- Never use damaged or incorrect blade
washers or bolt. The blade washers and
bolt were specically designed for your
saw, for optimum performance and safety
of operation.
Kickback Causes and Related
Warnings
- Kickback is a sudden reaction to a
pinched, bound, or misaligned saw blade,
causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and
out of the workpiece towards the operator.
- When the blade is pinched or bound
tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade
stalls and the motor reaction drives the
unit rapidly back towards 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

16. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
17.
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.
Power tool use and care
18. 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.
19. 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.
20. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack 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.
21. Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children 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.
22. Maintain power tools. 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.
23. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
24. 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.
Service
25. 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.
26. Follow instruction for lubricating and
changing accessories.
27. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.

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 piece being cut in your hands or
across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a
stable platform. It is important to support the
work properly to minimize body exposure, blade
binding, or loss of control.

5. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. 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 eccentrically, causing loss of control.
8. 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.
- Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces only, when
performing an operation where the

SAFETY GUIDELINES
to climb out of the kerf and jump back
towards 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- When restarting the saw in the
workpiece, centre the saw blade in the
kerf and check that saw teeth are not
engaged into the material. If saw blade
is binding, it may walk up or kickback from
the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
- 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.

13. Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce
narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade
binding and kickback.
14. 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.
15. Use extra caution when sawing into existing
walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade
may cut objects that can cause kickback.
16. ALWAYS hold the tool firmly 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.

17. 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.
Guard function
18. Check guard for proper closing before each
use. Do not operate the saw if guard does not
move freely and enclose the blade instantly.
Never clamp or tie the guard so that the blade
is exposed. If saw is accidentally dropped, guard
may be bent. Check to make sure that guard
moves freely and does not touch the blade or any
other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
19. Check the operation and condition of the
guard return spring. If the guard and the
spring are not operating properly, they must
be serviced before use. Guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits,
or a build-up of debris.
20. Assure that the base plate of the saw will not
shift while performing the “plunge cut” when
the blade bevel setting is not at 90 잧잧. Blade
shifting sideways will cause binding and likely
kick back.
21. Always observe that the guard is covering the
blade before placing 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 warnings
22. Use extra caution when cutting damp wood,
pressure treated lumber, or wood containing
knots. Maintain smooth advancement of tool
without decrease in blade speed to avoid
overheating the blade tips.
23. Do not attempt to remove cut material when
blade is moving. Wait until blade stops before
grasping cut material.Blades coast after turn off.
24. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from lumber before cutting.
25. 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 off
when the cut is made. As examples, Fig. 1
illustrates the RIGHT way to cut off the end of
a board, and Fig. 2 the WRONG way. If the
workpiece is short or small, clamp it down. DO
NOT TRY TO HOLD SHORT PIECES BY HAND!

prevent dust inhalation and skin contact.
Follow material supplier safety data.
- Do not stop the blades by lateral
pressure on the saw blade.
- Always use recommended blades and
do not use any abrasive wheels.
- Keep blade sharp and clean. Gum and
wood pitch hardened on blades slows saw
and increases potential for kickback. Keep
blade clean by rst removing it from the
tool, then cleaning it with gum and pitch
remover, hot water, or kerosene. Never use
gasoline.
- Wear a dust mask and hearing
protection while using the tool.

Guide Rail Splinter Guards
The guide rails (not included) come with
a splinter guard (black protruding rubber
lip). The splinter guard should be cut to size
before rst use. The splinter guard ensures
a tear-free cut, since the wood bers at the
top of the workpiece are torn without the
guard. This is due to the saw blade teeth
being directed upward.
After cutting the splinter guard size it also
show the precise cutting path of the saw
blade.
1. Mark a cutting line on the workpiece
and align the guide rail exactly with this
cutting line.
2. Fix the guide rail with clamps on the
workpiece.

continuously over the entire length. The
edge of the splinter guard will now exactly
match the cutting edge.
Kickback Stop
The kickback stop is designed to prevent
operator injuries due to kickback. When
working with the guide rail, the kickback
stop automatically clicks into place on
the base plate as soon as the base plate is
placed on the guide rail. The kickback stop
counteracts movement if you try to guide
the plunge saw on the rail guide back or if
the saw kicks back.
