• Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask
if the operation is dusty. Obey this instruction will
reduce the risk of serious injury.
• Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection
during extended periods of operation. Obey this
instruction will reduce the risk of serious injury.
• Battery tools do not have to be plugged into
an electrical outlet; thus, they are always
in operating condition. Be aware of possible
hazards when not using your battery tool or
when changing accessories. Obey this instruction
will reduce the risk of electric shock , fire, or serious
injury,
• Do not place battery tools or their batteries near
fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosoion
and possibl injury.
• Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do
not use a battery pack or charger that has been
dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged
battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a
dropped or damaged battery immediately.
• Batteries can explode in the presence of a
source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To
reduce the risk of serious injury, never use
any cordless product in the presence of open
flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and
chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
• Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet
location. Obey this instruction will reduce the risk
of electric shock.
• For best results, your battery tool should be
charged in a location where the temperature is
more than 50°F but less than 100°F. To reduce
the risk of serious injury, do not store outside or in
vehicles.
• Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in
contact with your sink, wash immediately with soap
and water. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them
with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek
immediate medical attention. Obey this instruction
will reduce the risk of serious injury.
• Keep these instructions. Refer to them
frequently and use them to instruct others who
may use this tool. If you borrow someone this
tool, loan them these instructions also to prevent
incorrect use of the machine and possible injury.
3 CUTTING PROCEDURES
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.
DANGER
English
• 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 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
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, 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.
• 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 off-centre, causing loss of control.
• 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.
4 CAUSES AND OPERATOR
PREVENTION OF KICKBACK:
• 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 wood 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:
• Maintain a firm 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.
