Battery use and care
1.
Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the battery pack. Inserting
the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
2.
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.
3.
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
4.
When the 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.
5.
If the appliance is misused or damaged, liquid may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, seek medical help as well. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.
6.
If the battery is damaged, vapours may be emitted which can irritate the
respiratory system. Provide fresh air and seek medical help in case of inhalation.
7.
Do not open the battery. Keep the battery away from sources of heat, such as fire
or continuous direct sunlight, to avoid the danger of explosion.
Circular saw use and safety
•
Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using this tool. Use a dust mask
or respirator for applications which generate dust. This saw may throw up debris
that could lodge in the eyes causing severe pain or injury.
•
Inspect the bolts and blade washers before each use. Damaged bolts or blade
washers can cause injury.
•
When using the Circular Saw, always maintain a firm grip on the tool with both
hands. Never put your hands or feet in the cutting area. Do not grasp the tool or
place your hands too close to the blade. Keep your hands well away from the
blade. Never reach underneath the tool while the blade is in motion. Do not use
your legs or feet to stabilise the workpiece.
•
Keep the handle of the circular saw dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
•
Disconnect battery pack from tool and place the switch in the locked or "Off"
position before making any assembly adjustments, changing accessories,
performing any inspection, maintenance or cleaning procedures. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally which could cause
serious personal injury.
•
Be extra careful when cutting in high or hard-to-reach locations. Avoid sawing
overhead. Be on the lookout for hidden wires and falling debris.
•
Do not use the circular saw if it has been damaged, left outdoors in the rain, snow,
wet or damp environments or immersed in liquid.
•
Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important information. If
unreadable or missing, contact Kogan for a replacement.
