persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tools 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 accordance with
these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5. Service
a. Please use a qualified expert who
uses original replacement parts to
repair your power tool. This will ensure
proper functioning of the power tool.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
SAWS
Sawing
Caution!
Risk of injury!
a. Do not put your hands in the sawing
area or on the saw blade. Use your
second hand to hold onto the
auxiliary handle or the motor housing.
If both hands are being used to hold the
circular saw, then they cannot be injured
by the saw blade.
b. Do not grip underneath the
workpiece. The safety guard cannot

protect you against the saw blade under
the workpiece.
c. Adjust the cutting depth to the
thickness of the workpieces. The saw
should protrude by no more than the
height of one tooth under the workpiece.
d. Never hold the workpiece to be sawn
in your hand or over your leg. Secure
the workpiece in a stable holder. It is
important to fasten the workpiece firmly
in order to minimise the danger of
contact with the body, jamming of the
saw blade or loss of control.
e. Grip the electric power tool by the
insulated handling surfaces only
when you are carrying out work in
situations where the tool insert may
make contact with hidden power
lines or its own power cable. Contact
with a live wire places a voltage on the
metal parts of the electric power tool
and will lead to an electric shock.
f. Always use a stop or a straight edge
guide when making longitudinal cuts.
These improve the accuracy of the cut
and reduce the possibility of the saw
blade jamming.
g. Always use saw blades of the right
size and with matching locating holes
(e.g. star-shaped or round). Saw
blades which are not matched to the
mounting pieces of the saw will run
eccentrically and lead to loss of control.
h. Never attach the saw blade using
damaged or incorrect washers or
screws. The saw blade washers and
screws are specially constructed for
your saw, to give optimal performance
and operating safety.
