GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! When using electric tools ba-
sic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock and personal injury including the
following.
Read all these instructions before at-
tempting to operate this product and
save these instructions. The term "pow-
er tool" in the warnings refers to your
mainsoperated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
f
dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
f
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while oper-
f
ating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Nev-
f
er 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.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
f
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
f
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
f
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
f
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location
f
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
f
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 medi-
cation. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
f
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate condi-
tions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
f
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.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
f
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
f
ance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
f
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
f
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
f
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
f
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories, or storing power tools. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
f
dren 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.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
f
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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
f
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
f
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could re-
sult in a hazardous situation.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
f
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
SAFETY WARNINGS
FOR CUT-OFF SAW
Never stand on the power tool. Serious injuries
f
could occur when the power tool tips over or when
