• The battery can be damaged by pointed
objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by
force applied externally. An internal short circuit
may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke,
explode or overheat.
• Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water
and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and
short-circuiting.
Safety information for chargers
• Keep the charger away from rain and wet.
The risk of electric shock increases if water pene-
trates a charging device.
• Keep the charging device clean. Soiling
involves the danger of an electric shock.
• Check the charging device, cable and plug
before each use. Do not use the charging device
if you detect any damage.
• Do not open the charging device yourself and
only have it repaired by qualified profession-
als and only with original spare parts. Dam-
aged charging devices, cables and plugs
increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not use the charging device on easily flam-
mables items (e.g. paper, textiles etc.) or in
combustible atmospheres. There is a danger of
fire due to the heating of the charging device dur-
ing the charging process.
• Supervise children and make sure that they do
not play with the charger. Children and per-
sons with mental or physical restrictions may
only use the charger under supervision or
after having been instructed how to use it.
Careful instruction reduces the risk of incorrect
operation and injuries.
General Power Saw Safety Warnings
• Keep hands away from cutting area and the
blade. If both hands are holding the circular saw,
the saw blade will not be able injure them.
• Do not reach underneath the work piece.
Contact with the saw blade may cause injury.
• Only guide the power tool to the work piece
when it is switched on. Otherwise there is a risk
of kickback when the inserted tool becomes
jammed in the work piece.
• Never hold the work piece that is being cut in
your hands or across your leg. Secure the
work piece to a stable platform. It is important
to support the work properly to minimise body
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
• When ripping always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide. This improves the accu-
racy of the cut and reduces the possibility of the
saw blade jamming.
• Before sawing into wood, plywood, construction
materials etc. check these for foreign bodies such
as nails, screws and remove if necessary.
• Support large panels to minimise the risk of
blade pinching and kickback. Large slabs/
boards may bend under their own weight. Sup-
ports must be placed under the panel on both
sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the
panel.
• Do not use dull or damaged blades. Blades
with blunt or incorrectly oriented teeth will, as a
result of a sawn gap that is too narrow, cause
increased friction and jamming of the blade as
well as kickback.
• Before sawing, tighten the cutting angle set-
ting. If the setting changes during the sawing pro-
cess, this may lead to the blade jamming and
cause kickback.
• Be very carefully when making plunge cuts in
existing walls or in other areas that are diffi-
cult to see. The plunging blade may become
blocked by hidden objects and cause a kickback.
• After switching off, do not attempt to brake the
blade by applying pressure from the side.
The saw blade may become damaged, break or
cause kickback.
• Dust from materials such as paint that con-
tains lead, some wood types, minerals and
metals may be a health risk as cause allergic
reactions, breathing problems and/or cancer.
Materials containing asbestos may only be pro-
cessed by specialists.
• Use a dust extraction system if possible.
• You should also ensure good ventilation of the
workplace.
• We also recommend wearing a protective mask.
• Observe the regulations that are applicable in
your country with regard to the materials to pro-
cessed.
• Use a dust extraction system if possible. Reg-
ularly blow the ventilation slots clean. When
processing metals, conductive dust may become
deposited into the power tool. This may influence
the protective insulation of the power tool.
• Only perform plunge cuts in soft materials, for
example, wood, plasterboard.
Safety warnings for sabre saws
• Make sure that the foot plate is positioned
securely when sawing. A tilted saw blade may
break or cause kickback.
• When carrying out a plunge cut that is not per-
formed at right angles, secure the guide plate
of the saw to ensure that it is not able to slip
sideways. A slip to the side may result in the saw
blade becoming jammed and thus cause kick-
back.
• Check to make sure that the saw blade is
securely fitted. A loose saw blade may fall out
and injure you.
• When ejecting the saw blade, hold the power tool
in such a way that neither persons or animals can
be injured by the ejected saw blade.
• The contact protection affixed to the housing pre-
vents accident contact with the saw blade during
operation and may not be removed.
Additional safety notes
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and shock the operator.
