Special Safety Instructions - Bort BRS-18Li-FD Manuel D'utilisation

gerous in the hands of untrained users .
e) Maintain power tools . Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion 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 .
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean . Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control .
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc . in ac-
cordance 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 .
Battery tool use and care
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-
facturer . 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 bat-
tery 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 connec-
tion 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 .
5) Service
a) 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 .

4. Special safety instructions

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord . Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock .
• Keep hands away from the sawing range . Do not reach
under the workpiece . Contact with the saw blade can lead
to injuries .
• Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched
on . Otherwise there is danger of kickback when the cutting
tool jams in the workpiece .
• Pay attention that the Soleplate (5) rests securely on the
material while sawing . A jammed saw blade can break or
lead to kickback .
• When the cut is completed, switch off the machine and
then pull the saw blade out of the cut only after it has come
to a standstill . In this manner you can avoid kickback and
can place down the machine securely .
• Use only sharp, flawless saw blades . Bent or unsharp saw
blades can break or cause kickback .
• Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by applying side
pressure after switching off . The saw blade can be dam-
aged, break or cause kickback .
• Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hid-
den in the work area or call the local utility company for
assistance . Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and
electric shock . Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion .
Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may
cause an electric shock .
• Secure the workpiece . A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand .
• Keep your workplace clean . Blends of materials are par-
ticularly dangerous . Dust from light alloys can burn or ex-
plode .
• Always wait until the machine has come to a complete
stop before placing it down . The tool insert can jam and
lead to loss of control over the power tool .
• Never use the machine with a damaged cable . Do not
touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug when
the cable is damaged while working . Damaged cables in-
crease the risk of an electric shock .
SAFETY WARNINGS FO BATTERY TOOL
• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool . Loss of
control can cause personal injury .
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord . Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock .
• Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
hidden in the work area or call the local utility company
for assistance . Contact with electric lines can lead to
fire and electric shock . Damaging a gas line can lead
to explosion . Penetrating a water line causes property
damage or may cause an electric shock .
• Switch off the power tool immediately when the tool
insert jams . Be prepared for high reaction torque that
can cause kickback . The tool insert jams when:
– the power tool is subject to overload
– it becomes wedged in the workpiece .
• Hold the machine with a firm grip . High reaction torque
can briefly occur while driving in and loosening screws .
• When working with the machine, always hold it firmly
with both hands and provide for a secure stance . The
power tool is guided more secure with both hands .
• Secure the workpiece . A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than
by hand .
• Do not open the battery . Danger of short-circuiting .
• Protect the battery against heat, e . g ., against continu-
ous intense sunlight, fire, water, and moisture . Danger
of explosion .
• In case of damage and improper use of the battery,
vapours may be emitted . Ventilate the area and seek
medical help in case of complaints . The vapours can
irritate the respiratory system .
• Use the battery only in conjunction with your power
tool . This measure alone protects the battery against
dangerous overload .
• The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as
