OPERATIONAL SAFETY
Warning! Never use the machine for sawing
asbestos. If asbestos is discovered or suspected,
contact your local council for advice.
Concentrate
Routine and repetition can lead to mistakes. Remember
that a slight lack of concentration can result in serious
injuries in a split second.
Keep work area clean
Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
Consider the work environment
Do not expose power tools to rain or use them in damp
or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Do not use
power tools in the presence of flammable liquids, vap-
ours or gases.
Guard against electric shock
This unit contains dangerous voltages. Use a RCD (resi-
dual current device) to provide protection against elec-
trical shock. Prevent body contact with grounded sur-
faces (e.g. pipes, radiator, ranges or refrigerators).
Keep children and pets away
Do not let children or pets come into contact with the
tool, extension cable or work area.
Do not force the tool
It will work better and safer at the rate for which it was
intended.
Use the right tool
Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job of a
heavy-duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes for which
they were not intended; for example do not use a circular
saw for cutting trees or logs.
Do not abuse cable
Never carry the tool by the cable or pull it to disconnect
it from the power socket. Keep the cable away from heat,
oil and sharp edges. Do not touch the metal plug pins
when connecting or removing the plug.
Secure Work
Use clamps or a vice to hold work. It is safer than using
your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool. Be
aware that this saw is a powerful machine; you must use
two hands to control it.
Do not over-reach
Keep a proper footing and balance at all times.
Disconnect tools from power supply
When not in use, before servicing and when changing
accessories such as blades, bits and cutters. Always
switch off and unplug the saw from the power
supply before making adjustments or changing
blades.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
Ensure that they are removed from the tool before swit-
ching on.
Avoid unintentional starting
Do not carry plugged in tools with your finger on the
switch. Check that the switch is off before plugging in to
socket.
Outdoor use extension cables
When the tool is used outdoors use only an extension
cable intended for outdoor use and marked accordingly.
Use a RCD (residual current device) to provide protec-
tion against electrical shock. Do not use in rain or damp
conditions.
Connect a dust extraction device
Whenever there are facilities for fitting a dust or fume
extraction system, make sure it is connected and used.
Use recommended accessories
The use of any other accessory or attachment other than
recommended in the instructions or catalogue may pre-
sent a risk of personal injury. Use extension cables suita-
ble for the power input of the saw (minimum cable size
1.5mm2). When using a cable reel unwind the cable fully.
