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. Using and handling the electric tool
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct pow-
er 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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such precautionary measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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 attachments. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's operation. If dam-
aged, 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, Take
into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could re-
sult 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.
m WARNING
Danger due to electromagnetic field
This power tool generates an electromagnetic field dur-
ing operation. This field can impair active or passive
medical implants under certain circumstances.
- In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly
injuries, we recommend that persons with medical
implants consult with their physician and the man-
ufacturer of the medical implant prior to operating
the power tool.
Safety instructions for table saws
Guarding related warnings
a) Keep guards in place. Guards must be in work-
ing 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-cut-
ting 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 concealed cuts, e.g. notching,
separating by changing over or cutting grooves,
secure the riving knife in its uppermost end po-
sition again. Set the protective cover while the
riving knife is in its uppermost end position.
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 in-
struction manual. Incorrect spacing, positioning
and alignment can make the riving knife ineffective
in reducing the likelihood of kickback.
