Safety Warnings for Battery Chargers
Never allow children, persons with physical, sensory or
●
mental limitations or a lack of experience and/or knowledge
and/or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the
battery charger. Local regulations may restrict the age of the
operator.
Supervise children at all times. This will ensure that
●
children do not play with the battery charger.
Keep the battery charger away from rain or moisture.
●
Penetration of water in the battery charger increases the risk of
an electric shock.
Keep the charger clean. Contamination can lead to danger
●
of an electric shock.
Before each use check the battery charger. If damage is
●
detected, do not use the battery charger. Never open the
battery charger yourself. All repairs must be performed by
Service Centre.
Damaged battery chargers and USB cables increase the
risk of an electric shock.
Do not operate the battery charger on flammable
●
surfaces (e. g., paper, textiles, etc.) or surroundings. The
heating of the battery charger during the charging process can
pose a fire hazard.
Damage to the machine may cause vapours to be
●
emitted. Ventilate the area and seek medical attention in
case of discomfort. The vapours can irritate the respiratory
system.
Appliance-specific safety Instructions for circular
saw
a) Do not use grinding discs.
b) Select the right saw blade based on the material you
will saw. Saw blades that are intended for cutting wood or
similar materials must comply with EN 847-1. Only use the saw
for cutting wood, plastic and light-weight materials
c) Only use saw blades with a speed designation that
meets the specified speed for your appliance or higher.
d) Only use saw blades with a diameter of 115 mm
corresponding to the markings on the saw blade.
e) Make sure the tips of the saw teeth do not overheat.
f) When sawing plastic, make sure the plastic does not
melt.
g) Pay attention to the maximum cutting depth.
h) When sawing, wear a dust mask.
i) Always wear hearing protection!

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even if properly operating and handling this electric tool, some
residual risks will remain. Due to its construction and build, this
electric tool may present the following hazards:
a) Cuts
b) Ear damage if working without ear protection.
c) Damage to your health caused by swinging your hands and
arms when operating the appliance for longer periods of time
or if the unit is not held or maintained properly.
Warning! During operation, this electric tool generates an
electromagnetic field which, under certain circumstances, may
impair the functionality of active or passive medical implants.
To reduce the risk of serious or lethal injuries, we recommend
that persons with medical implants consult their doctor and the
manufacturer of their medical implant before operating the
machine.
Observe the safety information and notes on charging and
proper use as shown in the instruction manual for
your battery and charger.
Device-specific safety instructions for circular saws
a) DANGER! Do not put your hands in the cutting area or
on the saw blade. If you hold the saw with both hands, they
cannot be injured by the saw blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The protective
hood cannot protect you from the saw bladeunder the
workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece. Less than one full tooth height should be visible
below the workpiece.
d) Never hold the workpiece you want to saw in your
hands or over your leg. Secure the workpiece in a sturdy
support. It is important to fasten the workpiece securely to
minimize the risk of physical contact, the saw blade jamming
and loss of control.
e) Hold the electric tool by the insulated gripping
surfaces when performing work in which the cutting tool
may come into contact with hidden wiring.Contact with a
live wire also causes a charge in metal parts of the electric
tool and results in an electric shock.
f) When performing longitudinal cuts, always use a stop
or a straight edge guide. This improves the cutting precision
while minimising the possibility of the saw blade jamming.
g) Always use the right size saw blades with the
appropriate locating holes (e.g. diamond or round). Saw
blades that do not fit in the saw fitting parts run unevenly and
lead to a loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade washers or
screws. The saw blade washers and screws were designed
specifically for your saw to ensure optimal performance and
dependability.
KICK-BACK – CAUSES AND CORRESPONDING SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
• Kick-back is the sudden reaction caused by a jammed, stuck
or improperly aligned saw blade resulting in an out-ofcontrol
saw lifting and moving out of the workpiece and towards the
operator.
• If the saw blade snags or gets caught in the closing sawing
gap or sticks, it will jam, and the motor force will kick the saw
back towards the operator.
• If the saw blade is twisted in the saw cut or incorrectly
aligned, the teeth of the rear edge of the saw blade can jam in
the wood surface, causing the saw blade to move out of the
sawing gap and the saw to recoil in the direction of the
operator.
Kick-back is caused by wrongly or incorrectly operating
the saw. It can be avoided by suitable precautionary
measures, such as those described below.
a) Hold the saw firmly and bring your arm into a position
in which you can resist the kick back force. Always hold
onto the side of the saw blade and never align the saw
blade with your body. In the event of a spring-back, the
circular saw can kick back, but the operator can keep control
over the spring-back forces using suitable precautionary
measures.
b) If the saw blade jams or you interrupt your work,
switch the saw off and keep it still in the workpiece until
the saw blade has come to a full stop. Never try to
remove the saw from the workpiece or pull it back as long
as the saw blade is moving, as otherwise it may spring
back. Identify and correct the cause of the saw blade
jamming.
c) If you want to restart a saw that is in the workpiece,
centre the saw blade in the sawing gap and check
