Clarke CONTRACTOR CON185B Operation & Maintenance Instructions Manual page 7

5. DO NOT overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the saw in unexpected situations.
6. Dress appropriately, DO NOT wear loose clothing or 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
1. DO NOT force the saw. Use the correct accessories for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate which it
was designed for.
2. DO NOT use the saw if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and SHOULD NOT
be used until it has been repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source before changing accessories,
or storing the saw. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the saw accidentally.
4. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and DO NOT allow persons
unfamiliar with the saw or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the saw's operation. If damaged,
have the saw repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
6. Use the saw and accessories in accordance with these instructions and in
the manner intended, taking into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the saw for operations different from
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
7. The performance of this saw may vary, depending upon variations in line
voltage. Extension cable usage may also affect performance.
SERVICE
1. Have your saw serviced by qualified service personnel using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the saw is maintained.
