e ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive
temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may
cause explosion.
g ) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery
and increase the risk of fire.
6) 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.
b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or
authorized service providers.
Safety Instructions for Table Saws
1) Guarding Related Warnings
a ) Keep guards in place. Guards must be in working order
and be properly mounted. A guard that is loose, damaged, or is
not functioning correctly must be repaired or replaced.
b ) Always use saw blade guard and riving knife for every
through–cutting operation. For through-cutting operations
where the saw blade cuts completely through the thickness of the
workpiece, the guard and other safety devices help reduce the risk
of injury.
c ) After completing a non-through cut such as rabbeting,
resawing, or dadoing, restore the riving knife to the
extended-up position. With the riving knife in the extended-
up position, reattach the blade guard. The guard and riving
knife help to reduce the risk of injury.
d ) Make sure the saw blade is not contacting the guard,
riving knife or the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
Inadvertent contact of these items with the saw blade could cause
a hazardous condition.
e ) Adjust the riving knife as described in this instruction
manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning and alignment can make
the riving knife ineffective in reducing the likelihood of kickback.
f ) For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged in the
workpiece. The riving knife is ineffective when cutting workpieces
that are too short to be engaged with the riving knife. Under these
conditions a kickback cannot be prevented by the riving knife.
g ) Use the appropriate saw blade for the riving knife. For
the riving knife to function properly, the saw blade diameter must
match the appropriate riving knife and the body of the saw blade
must be thinner than the thickness of the riving knife and the
cutting width of the saw blade must be wider than the thickness
of the riving knife.
2) Cutting Procedures Warnings
DANGER: Never place your fingers or hands in the
a )
vicinity or in line with the saw blade. A moment of
inattention or a slip could direct your hand towards the saw blade
and result in serious personal injury.
b ) Feed the workpiece into the saw blade only against
the direction of rotation. Feeding the workpiece in the same
direction that the saw blade is rotating above the table may result
in the workpiece, and your hand, being pulled into the saw blade.

c ) Never use the mitre gauge to feed the workpiece when
ripping and do not use the rip fence as a length stop when
cross cutting with the mitre gauge. Guiding the workpiece with
the rip fence and the mitre gauge at the same time increases the
likelihood of saw blade binding and kickback.
d ) When ripping, always keep the workpiece in full contact
with the fence and always apply the workpiece feeding force
between the fence and the saw blade. Use a push stick when
the distance between the fence and the saw blade is less
than 150 mm, and use a push block when this distance is
less than 50 mm. "Work helping" devices will keep your hand at a
safe distance from the saw blade.
e ) Use only the push stick provided by the manufacturer or
constructed in accordance with the instructions. This push
stick provides sufficient distance of the hand from the saw blade.
f ) Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A damaged or cut
push stick may break causing your hand to slip into the saw blade.
g ) Do not perform any operation "freehand". Always use
either the rip fence or the mitre gauge to position and guide
the workpiece. "Freehand" means using your hands to support or
guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence or mitre gauge. Freehand
sawing leads to misalignment, binding and kickback.
h ) Never reach around or over a rotating saw blade.
Reaching for a workpiece may lead to accidental contact with the
moving saw blade.
i ) Provide auxiliary workpiece support to the rear and/or
sides of the saw table for long and/or wide workpieces to
keep them level. A long and/or wide workpiece has a tendency
to pivot on the table's edge, causing loss of control, saw blade
binding and kickback.
j ) Feed the workpiece at an even pace. Do not bend, twist
or shift the workpiece from side to side. If jamming occurs,
turn the tool off immediately, remove or disconnect the
battery pack, then clear the jam. Jamming the saw blade by
the workpiece can cause kickback or stall the motor.
k ) Do not remove pieces of cut-off material while the saw is
running. The material may become trapped between the fence or
inside the saw blade guard and the saw blade pulling your fingers
into the saw blade. Turn the saw off and wait until the saw blade
stops before removing material.
l ) Use an auxiliary fence in contact with the table top when
ripping workpieces less than 2 mm thick. A thin workpiece
may wedge under the rip fence and create a kickback.
3) Kickback Causes and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece due to a pinched,
jammed saw blade or misaligned line of cut in the workpiece with
respect to the saw blade or when a part of the workpiece binds
between the saw blade and the rip fence or other fixed object.
Most frequently during kickback, the workpiece is lifted from the
table by the rear portion of the saw blade and is propelled towards
the operator. Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below.
a ) Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always
position your body on the same side of the saw blade as
the fence. Kickback may propel the workpiece at high velocity
towards anyone standing in front and in line with the saw blade.
b ) Never reach over or in back of the saw blade to pull or to
support the workpiece. Accidental contact with the saw blade
may occur or kickback may drag your fingers into the saw blade.
