Black & Decker BDCCS18 Original Instructions Manual page 6

ENGLISH
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 tools 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 grasing
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
5. Battery tool use and care
a. Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
b. Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
c. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns
or a fire.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
e. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
f. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 265º F may cause explosion.
g. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.

6. 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.
b. Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorised service providers.

Cutting procedures
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.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard
u
cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
u
workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should
be visible below the workpiece.
Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across
u
your leg. 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.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
u
only, when performing an operation where the cut-
ting 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.
When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge
u
guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the
chance of blade binding.
Always use blades with correct size and shape
u
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that
do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run
eccentrically, causing loss of control.
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or
u
bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially designed
for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of
operation.

Kickback causes and related warnings
kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or
u
misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift
up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;
