5 USING AND HANDLING CORDLESS TOOLS
a. Only charge the batteries in chargers recom-
mended by the manufacturer. There is a risk of
fire when using a charger which is meant for a
specific type of battery with a different battery.
b. Only use the correct batteries in the power
tools. The use of different batteries may lead
to injury and a risk of fire.
c. When the battery is not in use, keep it away
from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and
other small metal objects which could bridge
the contacts. A short circuit between the bat-
tery contacts may pose a risk of burns or fire.
d. Fluid may leak out of the battery if it is used
incorrectly. Avoid contact with the fluid. Rinse
with water any areas which accidentally come
into contact with the fluid. If fluid gets into the
eyes, also consult a doctor. Leaking battery
fluid can cause skin irritation or burns.
e. Do not use damaged or modified batteries.
Batteries which are damaged or which have
been modified may behave unpredictably, which
could lead to fire, explosion or the risk of injury.
f. Do not expose a battery to fire or excessive
temperatures. Fire or temperatures exceeding
130 °C may cause an explosion.
g. Follow all instructions on charging and never
charge the battery or the cordless tool outside
the temperature range stated in the operating
instructions. Incorrect charging or charging
outside the permitted temperature range can
destroy the battery and increase the risk of fire.
6 SERVICE
a. Only ever have your power tool repaired by
qualified specialist staff and always use origi-
nal spare parts. This ensures that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
b. Never perform maintenance on damaged bat-
teries. Maintenance on batteries should only
ever be performed by the manufacturer or
authorised customer service centres.
c. Only use original parts for repairs and main-
tenance. The use of incompatible accessories
or spare parts can result in electric shocks or
other injuries.
2.2 Machine-related safety instructions
Cutting proceduresa.
a. 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.
b. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The
guard cannot protect you from the blade below
the workpiece.
c. 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.
d. Never hold the workpiece in your hands or
across your leg while cutting. Secure the
work-piece to a stable platform. It is important
to support the work properly to minimize body
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, 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.
f. When ripping, always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy
of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
g. Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes.
Blades that do not match the mounting hard-
ware of the saw will run off-centre, causing
loss of control.
h. Never use damaged or incorrect blade wash-
ers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were
specially designed for your saw, for optimum
performance and safety of operation.
i. Wear suitable protective equipment such as
ear protection, safety goggles, a dust mask
for work which generates dust, and protective
gloves when working with raw materials and
when changing tools.
Kickbacks causes and related warnings
– 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;
