EnGLIsh
3 . Guard against electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces (e.g., pipes, radiators, cookers
and refrigerators). When using the tool under extreme conditions (e.g.,
high humidity, when metal swarf is being produced, etc.), electric safety
can be improved by inserting an isolating transformer or a (FI) earth-
leakage circuit-breaker.
4 . Keep other persons away.
Do not let persons, especially children, not involved in the work, touch the
tool or the battery and keep them away from the work area.
5 . Store idle tools.
When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry place and locked
up securely, out of reach of children.
6 . Do not force the tool.
It will do the job better and safer at the rate to which it was intended.
7 . Use the right tool.
Do not force small tools to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Do not use tools
for purposes not intended; for example do not use circular saws to cut tree
limbs or logs.
8 . Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these can be caught in moving
parts. Non-skid footwear is recommended when working outdoors. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.
9 . Use protective equipment.
Always use safety glasses. Use a face or dust mask if working operations
create dust or flying particles. If these particles might be considerably hot,
also wear a heat-resistant apron. Wear ear protection at all times. Wear a
safety helmet at all times.
10 . Connect dust extraction equipment.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collecting
equipment, ensure these are connected and properly used.
11 . Secure work.
Where possible use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is safer than using
your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
12 . Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
13 . Maintain tools with care.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tools
periodically and if damaged have
them repaired by an authorized service facility. Keep handles
and switches dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
14 . Disconnect tools.
When not in use, before servicing and when changing accessories such as
blades, bits and cutters, disconnect tools from the power supply.
15 . Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
Form the habit of checking to see that adjusting keys and wrenches are
removed from the tool before operating the tool.
16 . Avoid unintentional starting.
Do not carry the tool with a finger on the switch. Be sure that the tool is in
the "off" position before plugging in.
17 . Stay alert.
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the tool
when you are tired or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
18 . Check for damaged parts.
Before use, carefully check the machine to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized
service centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual. Have
defective switches replaced by an authorized service centre.
Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Never attempt any repairs yourself.

• Keep the floor area around the machine level, well-maintained and free of
loose materials, e.g., chips and cut-offs.
• Select the correct blade for the material to be cut.
• Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe the maximum speed mark on
the saw blade.
• Make sure all locking knobs and clamp handles are tight before starting
any operation.
• Never place either hand in the blade area when the saw is connected to
the electrical power source.
• Never attempt to stop a machine in motion rapidly by jamming a tool or
other means against the blade; serious accidents can occur.
• Before using any accessory consult the instruction manual.
The improper use of an accessory can cause damage.
• Use a holder or wear gloves when handling a saw blade or rough material.
• Ensure that the saw blade is mounted correctly before use.
• Make sure that the blade rotates in the correct direction.
• Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than recommended. For
