GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING
!
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in
  thepresenceofammable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.Unmodied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.
 f)Ifoperatingapowertoolinadamplocationisunavoidable,
  useagroundfaultcircuitinterrupter(GFCI)protectedsupply.
  UseofaGFCI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inuenceofdrugs,alcoholor
  medication.Amomentofinattentionwhileoperatingpower
tools may result in serious personal injury.
 b)Usepersonalprotectiveequipment.Alwaysweareye
  protection.Protectiveequipmentsuchasdustmask,non-
  skidsafetyshoes,hardhat,orhearingprotectionusedfor
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
 c)Preventunintentionalstarting.Ensuretheswitchisinthe
  o󰀨-positionbeforeconnectingtopowersourceand/orbattery
  pack,pickinguporcarryingthetool.Carryingpowertools
  withyourngerontheswitchorenergizingpowertoolsthat
have the switch on invites accidents.
 d)Removeanyadjustingkeyorwrenchbeforeturningthe
  powertoolon.Awrenchorakeyleftattachedtoarotating
part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
 e)Donotoverreach.Keepproperfootingandbalanceatall
  times.Thisenablesbettercontrolofthepowertoolin 
unexpected situations.
 f)Dressproperly.Donotwearlooseclothingorjewelry.Keepyour
  hair,clothingandglovesawayfrommovingparts.Looseclothes,
  jewelryorlonghaircanbecaughtinmovingparts.
 g)Ifdevicesareprovidedfortheconnectionofdustextractionand
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly
  used.Useofdustcollectioncanreducedust-relatedhazards.
 h)Donotletfamiliaritygainedfromfrequentuseoftoolsallowyouto
  becomecomplacentandignoretool-safetyprinciples.Acareless
action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
 a)Donotforcethepowertool.Usethecorrectpowertoolfor
  yourapplication.Thecorrectpowertoolwilldothejobbetter
  andsaferattherateforwhichitwasdesigned.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on
  ando󰀨.Anypowertoolthatcannotbecontrolledwiththe
  switchisdangerousandmustberepaired.
 c)Disconnecttheplugfromthepowersourceand/orremove
the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before
  makinganyadjustments,changingaccessories,orstoring
power tools Such preventive safety measures reduce the
  riskofstartingthepowertoolaccidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
  dangerousinthehandsofuntrainedusers.
 e)Maintainpowertoolsandaccessories.Checkformisalignment
  orbindingofmovingparts,breakageofpartsandanyother
  conditionthatmaya󰀨ectthepowertool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di󰀨erentfrom
  thoseintendedcouldresultinahazardoussituation.
 h)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.
5) Service
 a)Haveyourpowertoolservicedbyaqualiedrepairperson
  usingonlyidenticalreplacementparts.Thiswillensurethat
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety instructions for all saws
1)Cuttingprocedures
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workpiece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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.
 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arborholes.Bladesthatdonotmatchthemounting
  hardwareofthesawwillruno󰀨-center,causinglossofcontrol.
 h)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.
2)Kickbackcausesandrelatedwarnings
– Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound,
  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 operator.
