Safety instructions

General safety instructions for electrical devices

The following basic safety measures must be observed when using electric tools for protection against electric shock, and the risk of injury and fire.
Read all these notices before using the electric tool and store the safety instructions well for later reference.

1. Work area safety
   • Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
   • Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, 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 a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
   • 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.
   • Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. 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. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
   • Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
   • When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension 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 unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
   • Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of carelessness when using electrical tools can result in serious injuries.
   • 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.
   • 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. 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 the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
   • Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
   • Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
   • If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
   • Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4. Power tool use and care
   • 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.
   • 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.
   • Disconnect the plug from the power source and/ or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
   • Store idle power tools out of the reach of children 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 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.
5. 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.

This electric tool generates an electromagnetic field during operation. This field can impair active or passive medical implants under certain conditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with medical implants consult with their physician and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operating the electric tool.

Device emissions values
Noise
The noise levels have been determined in accordance with EN 61029.
Wear hearing protection.
Excessive noise can result in a loss of hearing.

Sound pressure level LpA	66,9 dB
Uncertainty KpA	3 dB
Sound power level LWA	79,9 dB
Uncertainty KWA	3 dB

Vibration emission value

• The specified vibration emission value has been measured according to a standardised testing procedure and can be used for comparison of one electric tool with another;
• The specified vibration emission value can also be used for an initial assessment of the (vibration) load.
• The vibration emission value can vary from the specified value during the actual use of the electric tool, depending on the type and the manner in which the electric tool is used;

• It is necessary to determine the safety measures for the protection of the operator based on an assessment of the vibration load during the actual conditions of use (In doing so, all parts of the operating cycle must be taken into account such as times in which the electric tool is switched off or times in which it is switched on, but is not running under a load).

The stipulated values are emission values and so do not necessarily represent safe work station values. Although there is a correlation between emission levels and exposure levels, it is not possible to reliably determine whether additional precautionary measures will be required or not based on this.
Factors that could influence the emissions level present at any given time at the work station include the duration of exposure, the nature of the working area, other noise sources etc. e.g. the number of machines and neighbouring processes.
The permitted workstation values can also vary from country to country. However, this information should enable the operator to better evaluate the hazards and risks.

Limit the noise level to a minimum!

• Only use faultless devices.
• Maintain and clean the device at regular intervals.
• Adapt your working methods to the device.
• Do not overload the device.
• Have the device checked if necessary.
• Switch the device off if it is not in use.

Suitable saw blades
All industry-standard saw blades with a minimum length of 127 mm with and without a pin may be used.

General notes

• The saw does not cut wood by itself. The user makes cutting possible by guiding the wood into the moving saw blade.
• The teeth only cut the wood on the down stroke.
• The wood must be fed slowly into the saw blade as the teeth of the saw blade are very small.
• Anyone who wants to use the saw requires a certain amount of learning time. During this time some blades are sure to break.
• When cutting thick timbers, particular care must be taken to ensure that the saw blade is not bent or twisted.
• Working carefully will increase the service life of the saw blade.
