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.
Service
− 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.
Additional safety warnings for saws
DANGER!
Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your
second hand on the auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both
hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
a) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot
protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
b) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece.
Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible be-
low the workpiece.
c) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your
leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is impor-
tant to support the work properly to minimize body exposure,
blade binding, or loss of control.
d) Hold the power tool by the 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 shock the operator.
