POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct accessories for your application. The 
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate which it was designed 
for.
2. 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.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source before changing accessories, or storing 
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power 
tool accidentally.
4. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with 
the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are dangerous in the 
hands of untrained users.
5. 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.
6. Use the power tool and accessories in accordance with these instructions and in the 
manner intended, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be 
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could result 
in a hazardous situation.
7. The performance of this tool may vary, depending upon variations in line voltage. 
Extension cable usage may also affect performance.
SERVICE
1. Have your power tool serviced by qualified service personnel using only identical 
replacement parts.
 This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL SAWS
a. Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on 
the 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 the 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 
minimise body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
e. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an 
operation. Contact with a”live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the 
power tool ”live” and shock the operator.
