Safety Instructions

WARNING: When used in Australia or New Zealand, it

is recommended that this tool is ALWAYS supplied via

Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual

current of 30mA or less.

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.

Additional safety for circular saws

WARNINGS. 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

• Ensure all supports and power cables are completely

clear of the cutting path

• 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

• Do not attempt to cut material thicker than detailed in

the Speciﬁcations section of this manual

• 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

• Do not apply any sideways or twisting force to the

blade whilst cutting

• Do not move the saw backwards at any time 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
