Avoid cutting nails. Inspect the work piece and
remove all nails and other foreign objects before
beginning sawing.
Support the work properly.
Never reach over the blade to remove waste or off
cuts.
Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first
switching off the machine.
Do not slow or stop a blade with a piece of wood. Let
the blade come to rest naturally.
If you are interrupted when operating the saw,
complete the process and switch off before looking
up.
Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings
are properly tightened.
Do not store materials or equipment above a machine
in such a way that they could fall into it.
Always hold the saw on parts that are insulated. If you
accidentally cut into hidden wiring or the saw ’s own
cable, the metal parts of the saw will become “live”.
Never saw near combustible liquids or gases.
Note the direction of rotation of the motor and the
blade.
Do not lock the movable guard in the open position
and always ensure that it is working properly, freely
rotating and returning to fully cover the teeth of the
blade.
Do not use any abrasive wheel unless the machine is
designed for that purpose.
The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose.
Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual
will be considered a case of misuse. The user and not
the manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or
injury resulting from such cases of misuse.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any changes
made to the tool nor for any damage resulting from
such changes.
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not
possible to eliminate all residual risk factors.
The following hazards may arise in connection
with the tool’s construction and design:
Contact with the blade.
Kickback of workpiece and parts of workpiece.
Blade fracture
Catapulting of blade pieces.
Damage to hearing if effective ear defenders are not
worn.
Harmful emissions of sawdust when the machine is
used in closed rooms. Always use supplementary dust
extraction where possible.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read all instructions Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all
of the warnings listed below refers to your mains
operated (corded) power tool or battery operated
(cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) WORK AREA
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
