FURTHER SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF
OPERATIONS
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging
causes rapid stalling of the rotating wheel which in
turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced
in the direction opposite of the wheel's rotation at
the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel
that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the
surface of the material causing the wheel to climb
out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward
or away from the operator, depending on direction
of the wheel's movement at the point of pinching.
Abrasive wheels may also break under these
conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool
and position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Always
use auxiliary handle, if provided, for
maximum control over kickback or torque
reaction during start-up. The operator can
control torque reactions or kickback forces, if
proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
c) Do not position your body in line with the
rotating wheel. Kickback will propel the
tool in direction opposite to the wheel's
movement at the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp
edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the
rotating accessory and cause loss of control or
kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving
blade, segmented diamond wheel with
a peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
f)
Do not "jam" the wheel or apply
excessive pressure. Do not attempt
to make an excessive depth of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the loading
and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the
wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback
or wheel breakage.
g) When wheel is binding or when
interrupting a cut for any reason, switch
off the power tool and hold the power
20V Cordless Brushless Circular saw
tool motionless until the wheel comes
to a complete stop. Never attempt to
remove the wheel from the cut while the
wheel is in motion otherwise kickback
may occur. Investigate and take corrective
action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
h) Do not restart the cutting operation in
the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full
speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The
wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the
power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
i)
Support panels or any oversized
workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel
pinching and kickback. Large workpieces
tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the workpiece
near the line of cut and near the edge of the
workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
j)
Use extra caution when making a "pocket
cut" into existing walls or other blind
areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or
water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that
can cause kickback.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES:
1. Always wear a dust mask.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR
BATTERY PACK
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred battery
pack.
b) Do not expose battery pack to heat or
fire. Avoid storage in direct sunlight.
c) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do
not store battery packs haphazardly in
a box or drawer where they may short-
circuit each other or be short-circuited
by other metal objects. 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 fire.
d) Do not remove battery pack from its
original packaging until required for use.
e) Do not subject battery pack to
mechanical shock.
f)
In the event of battery leaking, do not
allow the liquid to come in contact with
the skin or eyes. If contact has been
made, wash the affected area with
copious amounts of water and seek
medical advice.
g) Observe the plus (+) and minus (–) marks
on the battery back and equipment and
ensure correct use.
h) Do not use any battery pack which is not
