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.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD 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.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as a 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 off-position before connecting to power source
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
power tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
power 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 off. 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 parts of
insert tools, 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 insert tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the power
tool’s 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 different 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 qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
WARNING
This electric tool generates an electromagnetic field during
operation. This field can impair active or passive medical
implants under certain conditions. In order to prevent the
risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recommend that
persons with medical implants consult with their physician
and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior to
operating the electric tool.
Safety instructions for table saws
Guarding related warnings
a) Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working
order and be properly mounted. A guard that is loose,
damaged, or is not functioning correctly must be repaired or
replaced.
b) Always use saw blade guard, riving knife and for
every through–cutting operation. For through-cutting
d) When performing longitudinal cuts, always apply the
feed force to the workpiece between the stop rail and the
saw blade. Use a push rod if the distance between the
stop rail and saw blade is less than 150 mm, and a push
block if the distance is less than 50 mm. This type of
working aid ensures that your hands remain a safe distance
from the saw blade.
e) Only use the push rod provided by the manufacturer,
or a push rod that has been produced in accordance with
instructions. The push rod ensures a sufficient distance
between the hand and saw blade.
f) Never use a damaged or partially sawn push rod. A
damaged push rod may break and lead to your hand running
into the saw blade.
g) Never work “freehand”. Always use the parallel stop or
the mitre stop to position and guide the workpiece.
“Freehand” means supporting or guiding the workpiece
with the hands, rather than using the parallel stop or
mitre stop. Free-handed sawing leads to incorrect alignment,
jamming and kickback.
h) Never reach around or over a turning saw blade.
Reaching for a workpiece can lead to accidental contact with
