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 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 and/or battery 
pack, picking up or carrying the tool. 
Carrying power tools with your finger on the 
switch or energising 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 jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and 
gloves away from moving parts. Loose 
clothes, jewellery 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 these 
devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
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 the battery pack 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. 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. 
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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 
FOR ALL SAWS

cutting area and the blade.  Keep your 
second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor 
housing . If both hands are holding the saw, they
