General Safety

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced, physical or mental capabilities or lack of experience
or knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) 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 or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) 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.
f) 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.
3) Personal safety
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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 energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) 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.
g) 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.
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.
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 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.
d) 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.
e) 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.
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, 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.
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.
Track Plunge Saw Safety
WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point receptacle,
outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the nameplate
of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result
in serious injury to the user, and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using
a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
• Do not allow anyone under the age of 18 years to operate this saw
• When operating the saw, use safety equipment including safety goggles or shield,
ear protection, dust mask and protective clothing including safety gloves
• Hand-held power tools may produce vibration. Vibration can cause disease.
Gloves may help to maintain good blood circulation in the fingers. Hand-
held tools should not be used for long periods without a break
• Always use recommended blades with correct size and shape of arbor
holes e.g. diamond or round. Blades that do not match the mounting
hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control
• Whenever possible, use a vacuum dust extraction system to control dust/waste
• Power tools must always be held by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing
an operation, ensuring protection if the cutting tool makes contact with its own cord or
hidden wiring. Contact with a 'live' wire will make exposed metal parts of the power
tool 'live' and shock the operator if the insulated gripping surfaces are not used
• Ensure hands are kept away from the cutting area and blade. Keep one hand on the auxiliary
handle or motor housing. If both hands are holding the tool they cannot be cut by the blade
• Do not attempt to cut material thicker than detailed in
the Specifications section of this manual
• Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece i.e. less than
a full tooth of the blade should be visible below the workpiece
• Ensure that work is correctly supported. Large panels may sag under their
own weight and bind the saw blade. Supports must be placed under the panel
on both sides, close to the line of cut and near the edge of the panel
• Ensure all supports and power cables are completely clear of the cutting path
• Always secure the workpiece to a stable platform, ensuring body
exposure is minimised, avoiding blade binding, or loss of control
• For accuracy of cut, and to avoid blade binding, always
use a rip fence or straight edge guide
• Never hold a workpiece in your hand or across your legs whilst cutting
• Always stand at an angle to the tool when operating
• Be aware that the blade will project from the underside of the workpiece
• Do not reach beneath the workpiece where the guard cannot protect you from the blade
• Note the direction of rotation of the motor and the blade
• Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and other
embedded objects prior to starting work
• Do not apply any sideways or twisting force to the blade whilst cutting
• If a cut does not extend to the edge of the workpiece, or if the blade binds in the cut,
allow the blade to come to a complete stop and lift the saw out of the workpiece
• Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first disconnecting the machine from power
• Do not move the saw backwards at any time whilst cutting
• Beware of projected waste. In some situations, waste material may be projected
at speed from the cutting tool. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that other
people in the work area are protected from the possibility of projected waste
• If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete the
process and switch off before diverting your attention
• The blade bolt and washers were specially designed for your saw. For optimum
performance and safety of operation never use damaged or incorrect bolt/blade washers
• Check the lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if
the lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower
guard into the open position. If the saw is accidentally dropped, the lower guard may
be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves
freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut
• Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before resting
the saw on a surface after use. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause
the saw to move backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the
time it takes for the blade to stop after the trigger switch is released
• Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings
have not loosened, tighten where necessary
The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any use other than those mentioned
in this manual will be considered a case of misuse. The user, and not the manufacturer,
shall be liable for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any modifications made to the tool nor for any damage
resulting from such modifications.
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors.
