Electric safety
The plug of the power supply cable must fit the mains socket. Do not modify the plug. Do not use any adapters whatso-
ever in order to adapt the plug to the socket. Unmodified plug which fits the socket reduces the risk of an electric shock. Avoid
contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, heaters and refrigerators. Grounding of the body increases the risk of an
electric shock. Do not expose electric tools to precipitation or humidity. Water and humidity which gets into the electric tool
increases the risk of an electric shock. Do not overload the power supply cable. Do not use the power supply cable in order
to carry the tool or to connect and disconnect the plug from the mains socket. Avoid contact of the power supply cable
with heat, oils, sharp tools and moving elements. Damage to the power supply cable increases the risk of an electric shock.
In case work is realised outside closed areas, it is necessary to use extension cords designed for applications outside
closed areas. Using a correct extension cord permits to reduce the risk of an electric shock.
Personal safety
Commence work in good physical and psychological conditions. Pay attention to what you do. Do not work if you are
tired or under effects of medicines or alcohol. Even a moment's inattention during work may lead to serious injuries. Always
use individual means of protection. Always wear goggles. Using individual means of protection, such as dust-masks, protec-
tive shoes, helmets and hearing protections permits to reduce the risk of serious injuries. Avoid accidental activation of the
tool. Make sure the switch is in the OFF position, before you connect the tool to the mains. Holding the tool with a finger
on the switch or connecting an electric tool when the switch is in the ON position may lead to serious injuries. Before you turn an
electric tool on remove all the spanners and other tools, which have been used for adjustments. A spanner left on rotating
elements of the tool may lead to serious injuries. Keep your balance. Maintain an appropriate position. It will permit to control
the electric tool in case of unpredicted situations during its operation. Use protective clothes. Do not wear loose clothes or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothes and gloves away from moving elements of the electric tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair may get caught on moving elements of the tool. Use dust extractors or dust containers, if the tool is equipped with
any. Make sure they are properly connected. Using of dust extractors permits to reduce the risk of serious injuries.
Caution when using a power tool.
Before inserting a battery pack make sure that the switch stays in "OFF" position. Inserting a battery pack into a power tool,
when the switch is in "ON" position may cause accidents.
Use only chargers recommended by the manufacturer. Using a charger designed for only one type of battery pack, to charge
other types of battery pack may be a cause of fire.
Use power tools only with battery pack specified by the manufacturer. Use of other battery pack may be a cause of injuries
or fire.
When the battery pack is not used, it should be stored away from metal objects, such as paper clips, coins, nails, bolts or
other small metal elements, that may short the terminals. Shorting terminals of a battery may cause burns or fire.
In adverse conditions, a liquid may escape from a battery; avoid any contact with this liquid. In case of accidental contact
with a liquid, rinse with water. If a liquid gets into your eyes, please seek medical advice. A liquid escaping from a battery
may cause irritations or burns.
Repairs
Have the tool repaired solely by authorised workshops, where original spare parts are used. This will ensure the adequate
safety of operation of the electric tool.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
During work, where the inserted tool may touch a hidden live conductor, hold the electric tool by the insulated handles.
Any contact with „live conducts" may also cause the metal parts of the tool to be live, which might cause electric shock to the
operator.
During work wear dust masks. Inhalation of the dust generated during work may be harmful. If the tool is equipped with an
extractor to remove the dust generated during work, it must be installed and used in accordance with the manual.
PREPARING FOR OPERATION
Attention! All activities associated with the installation and replacement of saw blades, their adjustment and the mainte-
nance of a power tool should be carried out when the operating voltage of the tool is switched off, therefore, before the
further proceedings, you should carry out the following steps: Remove the battery pack from the power tool socket!
Safety recommendations for battery loading
Attention! Before loading may start make sure the body of the charger, the cable and the plug are not broken or damaged. It
is prohibited to use a damaged loading dock and charger! For the purpose of loading batteries only the charging dock and the
charger provided may be used. Using another charger may be a cause of fire or damage the tool. Batteries may be charged only
in a dry room, protected from unauthorised persons, particularly children. Do not use the charging dock and the charger without
