hands of untrained users.
e) 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.
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.
5) 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) Additional safety rules for saws
a) Recommendation for the operator to wear hearing protection. Wear ear protectors with
power tools. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
b) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Accessory contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.
c) Hold the power tool with a firm grip with both hands (if possible) and keep a good balance.
The tool is best guided with both hands. If blade gets locked, a strong torque reaction may occur.
d) Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the
local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock.
Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or
electric shock.
e) Secure the workpiece. Never hold the workpiece in your hand, feet or across your legs or
against your body. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than
by hand. An unstable workpiece can cause loss of control of the tool and/or injury.
f) Position yourself so as to avoid being caught between the tool or blade and the workpiece.
Keep your hands (and any other body part) away from the sawing path. Do not reach under the
workpiece. Contact with the saw blade can lead to serious injury.
g) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Use only undamaged saw blades that are in perfect
condition. Dull or damaged cutting accessories have a greater tendency to get jammed in the
workpiece, or to break, or to be ejected, or negatively affect the cut.
h) When installing a blade in the blade holder, insert the blade shank well inside the blade clamp.
If the blade is not inserted deeply enough, the grip of the clamp over the blade shank is greatly reduced
likely to increase the risk of loss of control. After inserting the blade, pull on it, so as to ensure that it is
properly locked.
i) If the blade becomes bound or jammed in the workpiece, immediately stop the tool by
releasing the trigger switch, and try to remove the blade by manually exerting back and forth
sawing movement. Be ready for strong reaction torque likely to cause a kickback.
j) Never grasp the tool (the shaft or the cutting accessory) while in motion and never place your
hands too close to the moving blade. Laceration hazard.
k) Avoid touching the blade just after use, as it may be hot. Similarly, when removing the
cutting accessory from the tool, wear protective gloves to grasp it. Cutting accessories may
become hot after prolonged use. Avoid contact with skin. Burn and laceration hazards.
l) Only apply the blade to the workpiece when the tool is switched on. Otherwise there is danger
of kickback when the cutting blade jams in the workpiece.
m) Do not touch objects or the floor with the saw running. Danger of kickback.
n) When sawing, the adjustable shoe plate must always face against the workpiece. The blade
