ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS of the need to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
Page 4
ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never 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. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
Page 5
ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a 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.
Page 6
ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS 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.
Page 7
ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping 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.
Page 8
ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS 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.
Page 9
ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS e) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting 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.
Page 10
ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator. Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
Page 11
ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making the cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback. g) Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
Page 12
ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS d) Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing the saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.
Page 13
ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS Never touch the blade during or immediately after use. After use, the blade is too hot to be touched with bare hands. Use only blade diameters in accordance with the markings. Installing an incorrect blade can result in injury and poor cutting. Use the correct saw blade for the material to be cut;...

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS The capacity of batteries will reduce over time. After 100 charge cycles, the battery’s operation time and the maximum torque performance of the driver will slightly reduce. This decline will continue until the battery has minimal capacity after 250 charge cycles. This is normal and not a fault with the battery.
