GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
When using electric tools basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, elec-
tric shock and personal injury including the following.
Read all these instructions before attempting to op-
erate this product and save these instructions.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-oper-
ated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
f
areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
f
pheres, 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 operating
f
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose con-
trol.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never mod-
f
ify 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 elec-
tric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
f
faces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refriger-
ators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
f
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carry-
f
ing, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an ex-
f
tension 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 is una-
f
voidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protect-
ed supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
f
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
f
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will re-
duce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
f
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 turning
f
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in per-
sonal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
f
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
f
lery. 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 power
f
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 and/or
f
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures re-
duce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
f
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 or
f
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool's op-
eration. 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 main-
f
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
f
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 haz-
ardous situation.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
f
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
SAFETY WARNINGS
FOR CUT-OFF SAW
Never stand on the power tool. Serious injuries could
f
occur when the power tool tips over or when acci-
dentally coming into contact with the cutting disc.
Always use the blade guard. A blade guard protects
f
the user against broken off parts of the cutting disc
