■
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment 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
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 etc.
■
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 hazardous
situation.
■
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.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
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.
■
Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
When 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.
■
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns.
■
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or
risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
■
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 130°C may cause explosion.
■
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.
SERVICE
■
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service
■
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR TABLE SAWS
GUARDING RELATED WARNINGS
■
Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working
order and be properly mounted. A guard that is
loose, damaged, or is not functioning correctly must be
repaired or replaced.
■
Always use saw blade guard, riving knife and anti-
kickback pawls for every through–cutting operation.
For through-cutting operations where the saw blade cuts
completely through the thickness of the workpiece, the
guard and other safety devices help reduce the risk of
injury.
■
After completing a non-through cut such as
rabbeting, resawing, or dadoing, restore the riving
knife to the extended-up position. With the riving
knife in the extended-up position, reattach the blade
guard and the anti-kickback pawls. The guard, riving
knife, and anti-kickback pawls help to reduce the risk
of injury.
Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the guard,
■
riving knife or the workpiece before the switch is
turned on. Inadvertent contact of these items with the
saw blade could cause a hazardous condition.
■
Adjust the riving knife as described in this
instruction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning
and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective in
reducing the likelihood of kickback.
■
For the riving knife and anti-kickback pawls to work,
they must be engaged in the workpiece. The riving
knife and anti-kickback pawls are ineffective when
cutting workpieces that are too short to be engaged with
the riving knife and anti-kickback pawls. Under these
conditions a kickback cannot be prevented by the riving
knife and anti-kickback pawls.
■
Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife.
For the riving knife to function properly, the saw blade
diameter must match the appropriate riving knife and the
body of the saw blade must be thinner than the thickness
of the riving knife and the cutting width of the saw blade
must be wider than the thickness of the riving knife.
CUTTING PROCEDURES WARNINGS
■
DANGER! Never place your fingers or hands in
the vicinity or in line with the saw blade. A moment of
inattention or a slip could direct your hand towards the
saw blade and result in serious personal injury.
■
Feed the workpiece into the saw blade only against
the direction of rotation. Feeding the workpiece in the
same direction that the saw blade is rotating above the
table may result in the workpiece, and your hand, being
pulled into the saw blade.
■
Never use the mitre gauge to feed the workpiece
when ripping and do not use the rip fence as a
length stop when cross cutting with the mitre gauge.
Guiding the workpiece with the rip fence and the mitre
gauge at the same time increases the likelihood of saw
blade binding and kickback.
■
When ripping, always apply the workpiece feeding
force between the fence and the saw blade. Use a
push stick when the distance between the fence and
the saw blade is less than 150 mm, and use a push
