• Failure to handle the battery carefully can cause acid to leak from the battery.
Avoid contact with battery acid. Rinse well with plenty of water if you come into
contact with battery acid. Seek medical attention if you get battery acid in your
eyes. Acid leaking from the battery can cause irritation or burns.
Service
Make sure that the power tool is serviced by qualified technicians that only use
identical spare parts. This will ensure that the power tool remains safe to use.
Special safety instructions
Sawing
• WARNING: Keep your hands away from the cutting area and blade. Hold your
other hand on the extra handle or motor casing. If you hold the tool with both
hands, they cannot come into contact with blade.
• Do not put your hand under the workpiece. The guard does not protect you
from the blade under the workpiece.
• Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Slightly less than
one full tooth on the blade should be visible below the workpiece.
• Never hold the workpiece in your hands or across your legs. Secure the workpiece
on a stable surface. It is important to support the workpiece properly so that
body contact is minimised, the blade does not jam, and you do not lose control.
• Hold the power tool by the insulated grips when working in areas where it may
come into contact with concealed electrical cables or its own power cord.
Contact with a live cable will cause the metal parts on the tool to also become
live – risk of electric shock.
• Always use a fence or guide to obtain a straight cut when sawing. This makes
the cut more precise and reduces the risk of the blade jamming.
• Always use blades with the correct size and shape of centre hole (rhomboidal
or round). Blades that do not fit properly on the tool will run eccentrically,
which will reduce performance.
• Never use damaged or incorrect washers or screws for the blade. Blade
washers and screws are specially designed for the tool to ensure optimum
functionality and maximum safety.
Additional special safety instructions
Risk of kickback
• Sudden kickback can occur when the saw blade gets stuck, jams or is incorrectly
adjusted, whereby the saw kickbacks up from the workpiece towards the user.
