tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained power tools.

u Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-

tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less

likely to bind and are easier to control.

u Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in

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.

u Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and

free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping

surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the

tool in unexpected situations.

Battery tool use and care

u Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-

facturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of bat-

tery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another

battery pack.

u Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-

tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a

risk of injury and fire.

u When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from

other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,

nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can

make a connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns

or a fire.

u Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from

the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-

curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addi-

tionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the bat-

tery may cause irritation or burns.

u Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or

modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit

unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk

of injury.

u Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excess-

ive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above

130°C may cause explosion.

u Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the

battery pack or tool outside the temperature range

specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at

temperatures outside the specified range may damage

the battery and increase the risk of fire.

Service

u 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.

u Never service damaged battery packs. Service of bat-

tery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer

or authorized service providers.

Safety instructions for circular saws

Cutting procedures

u 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.

u Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard

cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.

u Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the work-

piece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be

visible below the workpiece.

u 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 con-

trol.

u Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,

when performing an operation where the cutting tool

may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire

will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"

and could give the operator an electric shock.

u When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge

guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the

chance of blade binding.

u Always use blades with correct size and shape (dia-

mond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not

match the mounting hardware of the saw will run off-

centre, causing loss of control.

u 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 op-

eration.

Kickback causes and related warnings

- kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed or mis-

aligned 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 sur-

face 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 operat-

ing procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking

proper precautions as given below.

u 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.

u When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for

any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw mo-

tionless in the material until the blade comes to a com-
