b ) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c ) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a ) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b ) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d ) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e ) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f ) If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a ) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool
while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
b ) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c ) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off position before connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d ) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part
of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g ) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
h ) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a
fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a ) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b ) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on
and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
c ) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d ) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow 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 and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition 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
accordance 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.
h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
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.
ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
CIRCULAR SAW
Safety Instructions for All Saws

DANGER:
a ) Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep
your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If
both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
b ) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard
cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
c ) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be
visible below the workpiece.
d ) Never hold the workpiece in your hands or across your
leg while cutting. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform.
It is important to support the work properly to minimize
body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e ) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
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 could give the operator an electric shock.
