woods and metals can be highly flamma-
ble. Dust from light alloys including mag-
nesium can burn or explode easily.
c.
DO NOT treat the work surface with
fluids containing solvents. If such fluids
become warm from scraping, toxic
vapours may be produced, or surfaces
may catch fire.
WARNING: NEVER fit any blade or accessory
with a maximum speed lower than the no load
speed of the power tool.
d. ONLY change accessories and blades
or perform maintenance with the tool
disconnected from its power supply,
either mains connection or battery. If
the tool features a captive battery in a
charged state take extra care not to switch
it on accidentally when changing accesso-
ries or blades.
e.
ALWAYS use accessories or blades
that are approved by the manufacturer
or meet the specification of your power
tool, this includes being compatible in
size and speed. DO NOT try to cut mate-
rial thicker than the capacity stated.
f.
ONLY use an adapter for using different
accessories or blades if the adapter is
specifically designed and approved by
the manufacturer of your power tool.
g.
DO NOT modify accessories or blades
so they work with power tools they
were not intended to work with or for
uses that they were never designed for.
h.
DO NOT use accessories or blades that
are damaged, bent, chipped, cracked,
heavily corroded or excessively worn.
Such accessories can break apart in use
causing injury to the operator. ALWAYS
inspect accessories or blades before use
and discard immediately if not in good
condition. NEVER use blades that are
worn to a dull edge. ALWAYS use sharp
blades.
i.
ALWAYS ensure all accessories or
blades are securely attached to the
tool before use and the securing tool is
removed prior to use.
j.
DO NOT attempt to free a jammed
blade or accessory until the power tool
has been disconnected from power.
k.
Inspect the workpiece before use to
make sure it is in the correct condition
for the fitted accessory or blade.
Remove all nails, staples and other
embedded objects prior to starting work.
l.
Any freely movable workpieces should
be secured with a clamp or vice before
starting work.
m. ALWAYS ensure that the lighting is
adequate in the work area. Never
remove your safety goggles or glasses to
improve your view instead increase the
level of lighting or move the lighting so it
specifically illuminates the work area
correctly.
n.
DO NOT operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Be especially care-
ful when cutting wood and metal. Sparks
from metal cutting are a common cause of
wood dust fires.
o.
Battery chargers are for indoors use
only. Ensure that the power supply and
charger are protected against moisture at
all times.
p.
NEVER start the power tool while the
blade or accessory is in contact with
the workpiece, and always allow the
power tool to reach its full speed
before making contact with the work-
piece. Use the variable speed control of
the tool (if fitted) to start the tool at the
correct speed for the accessory or blade
fitted.
q. DO NOT exert additional pressure on
the body of the tool: allow the blade or
accessory to do the work. By not exert-
ing additional pressure you maintain a
safer stronger grip on the power tool when
it breaks through the material, as well as
reducing wear on the power tool which will
extend the power tool's service life. Addi-
tional pressure may also bend or twist the
accessory or blade which may cause it to
break and cause injury. If the power tool
allows for being held with one or two
hands hold with two hands whenever
possible. ALWAYS exercise caution when
handling this power tool.
r.
Sawing, cutting and abrasive actions
create heat. This may affect the work-
piece and power tool. ALWAYS monitor
