Please note the included General Safety Notes and the following safety notes to avoid malfunc -
tions, damage or physical injury:
•
Make sure the voltage corresponds to the type label on the battery charger.
•
The battery charger is designed for charging the speed saw only. Do not charge other machines with
this charger. Do not charge the battery of the speed saw with other charger.
•
Protect battery and battery charger from humidity. Do not operate the battery charger outdoors.
•
When not in use and before cleaning and servicing, disconnect the battery charger from the power supply.
•
Take special care of the battery. Avoid dropping it onto any hard surface and do not subject it to pres-
sure or any other form of mechanical stress. Keep the battery away from extreme heat and cold.
•
Do not open or attempt to repair the battery or the battery charger. If any parts are damage have
them repaired by a qualified technician or contact your customer service.
•
Only charge the battery at an ambient temperature between 10ºC and 40ºC. A charged battery can
be used to power the machine under ambient temperature conditions between 0ºC and 50ºC.
•
When not in use, store the battery in a dry place between 10ºC and 30ºC.
•
Important Danger! Never short-circuit the battery or expose it to moisture. Do not store it together
with any metal parts which could short-circuit the contacts. The battery could overheat, start bur-
ning or explode.
•
Keep hand away from cutting area and the blade.
•
Do not reach underneath the work piece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the
work piece.
•
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the work piece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth
should be visible below the work piece.
•
Never hold piece 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 minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
•
Hold power machine by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cut-
ting machine may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal
parts of the power machine "live" and shock the operator.
•
Always use blades with correct size and shape of arbour holes. Blades that do not match the moun-
ting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
•
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt where specially
designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.
•
Check guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if guard does not move freely
and enclose the blade instantly. Never clamp or tie the guard with the blade exposed. If saw is acci-
dentally dropped, guard may be bent. Check to make sure that guard moves freely and does not
touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
•
Check the operation and condition of the guard return spring. If the guard and the spring do not
operate properly, they must be serviced before use. Guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged
parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
