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 con-
trolled 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 meas-
ures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
 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.
 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, tak-
ing 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.
Battery tool use and care
 Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
 Use power tools only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.
 When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
 Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid con-
tacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause 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.

Safety Warnings for Circular Saws

Cutting procedures

 DANGER: Keep hands away from the cutting
area and the saw blade.
 Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The
guard cannot protect you from the blade below the work-
piece.
 Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth
should be visible below the workpiece.
 Never hold piece being cut in your hands or
across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a sta-
ble platform. It is important to support the work prop-
erly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of
control.
 Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wir-
ing. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
 When ripping, always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of
cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
 Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades
that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will
run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
 Never use damaged or incorrect blade wash-
ers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially
designed for your saw, for optimum performance and
safety of operation.
 Kickback causes and related warnings
– Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or
misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift
up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;
– When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf
closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction
drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;
– If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut,
the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the
top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of
the kerf and jump back toward the operator.
