Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
u
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal in-
jury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
u
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
u
ellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
u
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can re-
duce dust-related hazards.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
u
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles. A careless action can cause severe in-
jury within a fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
u
tool for your application. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was de-
signed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
u
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or re-
u
move the battery pack, if detachable, from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
u
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.
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for mis-
u
alignment 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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
u
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
u
accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
u
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.

Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
u
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Instructions for Metal Cutting Saws
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least
u
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed
can break and fly apart.
The outside diameter and the thickness of your ac-
u
cessory must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be ad-
equately guarded or controlled.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
u
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing pro-
tectors, gloves and shop apron capable of stopping
small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye pro-
tection must be capable of stopping flying debris gener-
ated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise
may cause hearing loss.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area.
u
Anyone entering the work area must wear personal
protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a
broken saw blade may fly away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation.
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If
u
you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your
hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning saw blade.
Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's
u
fan can draw the dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical
hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materi-
u
als. Do not operate the power tool while placed on a
combustible surface such as wood. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
u
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electro-
cution or shock.
Always use undamaged saw blade flanges that are of
u
correct diameter for your selected saw blade. Proper
saw blade flanges support the saw blade thus reducing
the possibility of saw blade breakage.
The arbour size of saw blades and flanges must prop-
u
erly fit the spindle of the power tool. Saw blades and
flanges with arbour holes that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate
excessively and may cause loss of control.
Do not use damaged saw blades. Before each use, in-
u
spect the saw blades for chips and cracks. If the
power tool or saw blade is dropped, inspect for dam-
age or install an undamaged saw blade. After inspect-
