are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
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 rated speed 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 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. 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.
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.
(B) Additional safety rules for saws
a) Recommendation for the operator to wear hearing protection. Wear ear protectors with power
tools. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
b) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting
blade may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire could make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.
c) Hold the power tool with a firm grip with both hands (if possible) and keep a good balance.
The tool is best guided with both hands. If blade gets locked, a strong torque reaction may occur.
d) Use appropriate 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
electric shock.
e) Secure the workpiece. Never hold the workpiece in your hand, feet or across your legs or against
your body. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by
hand. An unstable workpiece can cause loss of control of the tool and/or injury.
f) Position yourself so as to avoid being caught between the tool or blade and the workpiece.
Keep your hands (and any other body part) away from the sawing path. Do not reach under the
workpiece. Contact with the saw blade can lead to serious injury.
g) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Use only undamaged saw blades that are in perfect condition.
Dull or damaged cutting accessories have a greater tendency to get jammed in the workpiece,
or to break, or to be ejected, or negatively affect the cut.
h) When installing a blade in the blade holder, insert the blade shank well inside the blade clamp. If the
blade is not inserted deeply enough, the grip of the clamp over the blade shank is greatly reduced likely
to increase the risk of loss of control. After inserting the blade, pull on it, so as to ensure that it is properly
locked.
i) If the blade becomes bound or jammed in the workpiece, immediately stop the tool by
