c) 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 fi re.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, fl ush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed
repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
PRECAUTION
Keep children and infi rm persons away.
When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of
children and infi rm persons.
CORDLESS CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY
WARNINGS
Cutting procedures
a)
DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area
and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary
handle, or motor housing.
If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by
the blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the
workpiece.
c) 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.
d) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across
your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform.
It is important to support the work properly to minimize
body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal
parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator
an electric shock.
f) When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight
edge guide.
This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the
chance of blade binding.
g) 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.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers 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.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a fi rm grip with both hands on the saw
and position your arms to resist kickback forces.
Position your body to either side of the blade, but
not in line with the blade.
Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards, but
kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if
proper precautions are taken.
b) When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw
motionless in the material until the blade comes to
a complete stop.
Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or
pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion
or kickback may occur.
Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the
cause of blade binding.
c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the
saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are
not engaged into the material.
If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from
the workpiece as the saw is restarted.
d) Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade
pinching and kickback.
Large panels tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides,
near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.
e) Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow
kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and
kickback.
f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers
must be tight and secure before making cut.
If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause
binding and kickback.
g) Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls
or other blind areas.
The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause
kickback.
Lower guard function
a) Check lower guard for proper closing before each
use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not
move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie
the lower guard into the open position.
If saw is accidentally dropped, 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.
b) Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If
the guard and the spring are not operating properly,
they must be serviced before use.
Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged
parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.
c) Lower guard may be retracted manually only for
special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound
cuts”.
Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as soon
as blade enters the material, the lower guard must be
released.
