2.5 Service
Have your tool repaired only by trained per-
sonnel using only genuine spare parts.
This will ensure that you tool maintains its safety
standard.
2.6 Use of the batteries
Ensure that the ON/OFF switch for the laser is
set to its "0" position before you fit the batte-
ries.
Inserting the batteries when the laser is switched
on can cause accidents.
If the tool is not used correctly the batteries
may leak. Avoid contact with the battery fluid.
If you come into contact with battery fluid,
clean the affected body part with running
water. If you get battery fluid in your eyes,
seek immediate medical assistance.
Leaked battery fluid can cause skin irritation and
acid burns.

3. SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not reach into the sawing area or place
your hands on the saw blade. Hold the addi-
tional handle or the motor casing with your
other hand. If you hold the circular saw in both
hands, the saw blade cannot injure them.
Do not reach under the workpiece. The safety
hood cannot protect you from the saw blade
under the workpiece.
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of
the workpiece. Less than one full tooth height
should be visible under the workpiece.
Never hold the workpiece you wish to saw in
your hand or with your leg. Secure the work-
piece on a sturdy surface.
It is important that you secure the workpiece well
to minimize the danger of body contact, the saw
blade jamming or loss of control.
Only hold the tool using the insulated hand-
les when carrying out work during which the
cutting tool could strike looped power cables
or the tool's own cable. Contact with a live
cable will also make the metal parts of the tool
live and will cause an electric shock.
Always use a stop or a straight edge when
carrying out longitudinal cuts.
This will improve your cutting accuracy and redu-
ce the possibility of the saw blade jamming.
Always use saw blades of the correct size

and suitable for the shape of the mounting
flange (diamond-shaped or round).
Saw blades that do not match the mounting parts
of the saw will not rotate truly and will result in a
loss of control.
Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade
washers or screws.
The saw blade washers and screws have been
specially designed for your saw to ensure perfect
performance and operational safety.
Causes of and how to avoid a recoil
- A recoil is an unexpected reaction by a caught,
jammed or incorrectly aligned saw blade which
may result in the saw leaping out of the workpie-
ce out of control and towards the operator.
- If the saw blade becomes caught or jammed in
closing saw gap, it will block and the power of the
motor will cause the saw to leap backwards
towards the operator.
- If the saw blade is twisted or incorrectly aligned
in the cut, the teeth in the rear saw blade edge
may become caught in the surface of the work-
piece, which results in the saw blade leaping out
of the saw gap and backwards towards the ope-
rator.
Precautions to prevent a recoil
Hold the saw firmly in both hands and hold
your arms in a position in which you can
withstand the recoil forces. Always hold the
saw blade to one side, never hold the saw
blade in a straight line with your body.
In the event of a recoil the circular saw may leap
backwards, but the operator will be able to over-
come the recoil forces if he has taken suitable
precautions.
If the saw blade jams or the sawing operating
is aborted for another reason, release the
ON/OFF switch and hold the saw still in the
workpiece until the saw blade has reached a
complete standstill. Never attempt to take the
saw out of the workpiece or to pull it back-
wards whilst the saw blade is moving or there
is a possibility of a recoil. Find the reason for
the blade jamming and rectify it by suitable
means.
If you wish to restart a saw that is in the work-
piece, centre the saw blade in the saw gap
and check that the saw's teeth are not caught
in the workpiece.
If the saw blade is jammed it may move out of
the workpiece or cause a recoil if the saw is
restarted.
