●
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
●
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 and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
●
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.
●
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.
Personal safety
●
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.
●
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.
●
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 energizing
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
●
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.
●
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
●
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.
●
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.
Power tool use and care
●
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.
●
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.
●
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.
●
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.
OPERATION
Before using
Fitting/changing the saw blade (fig.3)
Remove the battery before carrying out any work on the power
tool (e.g. maintenance, toolchanging, etc.) as well as during
carriage and storage of the power tool.
Unintentional depressing of the On/Off button can result in
●
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.
●
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
●
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.
Use and handling of the cordless electrical power tool
a) Charge a rechargeable battery unit using only the charger
recommended by the manufacturer. Chargers are often
designed for a particular type of rechargeable battery unit.
There is the danger of fire if other types of rechargeable
battery units are used.
b) Only the rechargeable battery units supplied are to be
used with an electrical power tool. The use of other
rechargeable battery units may lead to the danger of injury
or fire.
c) When they are not being used, store rechargeable
battery units away from paperclips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects that could cause the
contacts to be bridged. Short-circuiting the contacts of a
rechargeable battery unit may result in heat damage or fire.
d) Fluids may leak out of rechargeable battery units if they
are misused. If this happens, avoid contact with the fluid. If
contact occurs, flush the affected area with water. Seek
additional medical help if any of the fluid gets into your eyes.
Escaping battery fluid may cause skin irritation or burns.
Service
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.
