The vibration emission value specified can also serve as a prelim- inary assessment of the exposure. Different uses of the device give rise to different vi- bration levels and in many cases they may exceed the values given in these instructions. It is easy to underestimate the vibration load if the electrical power tool is used regularly in particular circum- stances. Note: If you wish to make an accurate assessment of the vibration loads experienced during a particu- lar period of work, you should also take into account the intervening periods of time when the device is switched off or is running but is not actually in use. This can result in a much lower vibration load over the whole of the work period. General safety advice for electrical power tools Please read all safety information and instructions. Failure to ob- serve the safety information and instructions can result in electric shock, fire and / or serious injury. For future reference keep all the safety advice and instructions in a safe place. The term “electrical tool” used in the safety advice refers to electrical tools powered by mains electric- ity (by means of a mains lead) and electrical tools powered by rechargeable batteries (without a mains lead).

a) Keep your working area clean and well lit. Untidy or poorly lit working areas can lead to accidents. b) Do not work with the device in poten- tially explosive environments, which contain inflammable liquids, gases or dusts. Electrical power tools create sparks, which can ignite dusts or fumes. c) Keep children and other people away while you are operating the electrical tool. Distractions can cause you to lose con- trol of the device.

2. Electrical safety

a) The mains plug on the device must match the mains socket. The plug must not be modified in any way. Do not use an adapter plug with devices fitted with a protective earth. Unmodified plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of electric shock. b) Avoid touching grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ovens, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed. c) Keep the appliance away from rain or moisture. The penetration of water into the electrical device increases the risk of an electric shock. d) Do not use the mains lead for purpos- es it was not intended for, e.g. to carry the device, to hang up the device or to pull the mains plug out of the mains socket. Keep the mains lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts of the device. Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk of an electric shock. e) If you are working outdoors with an electrical power tool, always use ex- tension cords that are approved for outdoor use. The use of an extension cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) Use a residual current device (RCD) for protection if the operation of the electrical power tool in a moist envi- ronment cannot be avoided. The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

a) Remain alert at all times, watch what you are doing and always proceed38 General safety advice for electrical power tools with caution when using an electrical tool. Do not use the electrical power tool if you are tired or under the influ- ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. One moment of carelessness when using the electrical power tool can lead to serious injury. b) Wear personal protective equipment and always wear safety glasses. The wearing of personal protective equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety hel- mets or ear protectors, appropriate to the type of electrical power tool used and work under- taken, reduces the risk of injury. c) Avoid unintentional operation of the device. Check that the electrical power tool is switched off before you connect it to the mains, pick it up or carry it. Accidents can happen if you carry the electri- cal tool with your finger on the ON / OFF switch or with the device switched on. d) Remove any setting tools or spanners before you switch on the electrical tool. A tool or spanner left attached to a rotating part of an electrical tool can lead to injury. e) Avoid placing your body in an unnat- ural position. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. By doing this, you will be in a better position to control the electrical power tool in unforeseen circumstances. f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves clear of mov- ing parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can become trapped in moving parts. g) If vacuum dust extraction and collec- tion devices are fitted, do not forget to check that they are properly connected and used correctly. The use of dust extrac- tion reduces the hazard presented by dust.

4. Careful handling and use of

the electrical power tool a) Do not overload the device. Always use an electrical power tool that is intended for the task you are undertaking. By using the right electrical power tool for the job, you will work safer and achieve a better result. b) Do not use an electrical power tool if its switch is defective. An electrical power tool that can no longer be switched on and off is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Pull the mains plug from the socket before you make any adjustments to the appliance, change accessories or when the device is laid aside. This pre- caution prevents the unintentional start of the electrical tool. d) Always ensure that electrical power tools are kept out of reach of children when not in use. Do not let anyone use the device if they are not familiar with it or have not read the instructions and advice. Electrical power tools are dan- gerous when they are used by inexperienced persons. e) Maintain the electrical power tool care- fully. Check that moving parts are work- ing properly and move freely. Check for any parts that are broken or damaged enough to detrimentally affect the func

tioning of the electrical power tool. Have damaged parts repaired before you use the device. Many accidents have their origins in poorly maintained electrical power tools. f) Keep cutting tools clean and sharp. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control. g) Use the electrical power tool, accesso- ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance with these instructions. When doing this, take the working conditions into consideration, as well as the task at hand. The use of electrical power tools for purposes other than those intended can lead to dangerous situations.

a) Only have electrical power tools repaired by qualified specialist per- sonnel using OEM spare parts. This General safety advice for electrical power tools39 General safety advice for electrical power tools General safety advice for electrical power tools ensures that the safety of the electrical power tool is maintained. Safety instructions for all saws a) DANGER: Stay with your hands out of the cutting area and keep off the cutting disc. If you hold the saw with both hands, they cannot be injured by the saw blade. b) Do not reach underneath the work- piece. The protective cover will not protect you from the saw blade under the work piece. c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thick- ness of the work piece. Less than the full width of a tooth should be visible from under the work piece. d) Never hold the workpiece with the hand or lay it over a leg. Secure the workpiece on a stable fixture. It is important to fix the work piece safely, to mini- mise the danger of contact with the body, jamming of the saw blade or loss of control. e) Hold the electrical power tool by the insulated handle surfaces when you are undertaking work where there is the danger of the tool striking hidden electricity cables or the device’s mains lead. Contact with a live wire could cause metal parts of the electrical power tool to become live and lead to electric shock. f) When cutting along the way always use a fence or a straight edge guide. That improves the precision of the cut and mini- mises the possibility that the saw blade jams. g) Always use saw blades of the correct size and with matching mounting hole (e.g. star-shaped or round). Saw blades not matching the attachments of the saw run untrue and lead to loss of control. h) Never use damaged or wrong saw blade washers or bolts. The saw blade washers and screws were specifically devel- oped for your saw, for optimal performance and operating security. Reasons for and how to avoid a kickback: - A kickback is the sudden reaction, if the saw blade sticks, jams or is misaligned and the uncontrolled saw moves out of the work piece in the direction of the operator. - If the saw blade wedges, sticks or jams itself into the closing saw gap, it blocks and the mo- tor power kicks the saw back into the direction of the operator. - If the saw blade is twisted or wrongly aligned in the saw gap, the teeth of the rear blade edge can jam in the surface of the work piece, caus- ing the saw blade to move out of the saw gap and the saw to jump back in the direction of the operator. A kickback is the result of wrong or unsuitable use of the saw. It can be avoided by taking the in the following described precautions. a) Hold the saw with both hands and bring your arms into a position that allows you to absorb the forces of the kickback. Always stand to the side of the saw blade, never bring the saw blade into a line with your body. Dur- ing a kickback the saw can jump backwards, however, the operator can master the forces of the kickback with suitable preventive measures. b) Should the saw blade jam, or you stop the work, switch the saw off and hold it still in the work piece, until the saw blade has come to a standstill. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work piece or to pull it backwards, as long as the saw blade moves, as oth- erwise a kickback could occur. Find out and rectify the reason for the jamming of the saw blade. c) If you want to restart a saw that is stuck in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the saw gap and check that the teeth are not stuck in the workpiece. If the saw blade jams, it can move out of the work piece or cause a kickback, when the saw is started anew. d) Support big boards to reduce the risk of a kickback due to a jamming saw40 GB General safety advice for electrical power tools blade. Big boards can bend through due to their own weight. Boards must be supported on both sides, at the outside and near the cutting edge. e) Do not use blunt or damaged saw blades. Saw blades with blunt or wrongly set teeth cause increased friction, jamming of the blade and kickback due to a saw gap that is too tight. f) Tighten the adjustments for cutting depth and cutting angle before start- ing to cut. If the adjustments change during cutting, the saw blade can jam and cause a kickback. g) Take particular care, when plunge cutting into existing walls or other areas that you cannot inspect. The saw blade can jam when cutting into hidden objects and thereby causing a kickback. Safety instructions for plunge saws a) Before every use check that the safe- ty cover closes without problems. Do not use the saw, if the safety cover does not move freely and does not close in- stantly. Never fix or tie back the safety cover in the opened position. If the saw is dropped accidentally, the safety cover can be bent. Ensure that the safety cover moves freely and does not touch either the saw blade or other parts. b) Check condition and function of the safety cover spring. If safety cover and spring do not work faultlessly, get the saw serviced before using it. Damaged parts, sticky deposits or masses of wood shavings lead to delayed operation of the bottom safety cover. c) If you plunge cut at angles other than right angles, secure the guide plate of the saw to prevent sliding sideways. Lateral movement can lead to jamming of the saw blade and therewith to kickback. d) Do not put the saw done on the bench or on the floor without covering the saw blade with the safety cover. An unprotected saw blade moves the saw against the direction of the cut, and cuts everything that is in the way. Please keep in mind that the saw runs on. Please ensure that only persons over 16 years of age operate this appliance according to the instructions in this operating instructions! Note: Do not use grinding discs. Injuries and dam- age to objects could result. Safety recommendations for the correct use of superabrasives a) General Superabrasives are breakable and shall therefore be handled with utmost care! The use of damaged or improperly mounted or used superabrasives is dangerous and can cause serious injuries. b) Delivery, handling and storage Superabrasives shall be handled and transportes with care. Superabrasives shall be stored in such a manner that they are not subjected to mechanical damages and harmful environmental influences. Avoid the danger of death from electric shock: Regularly check the condition of the appliance, mains cable and plug. Do not operate appli- ances with damaged parts of that description. Never open the appliance. Damaged appli- ances, mains cables or plugs main danger to life due to electric shock. Always have repairs or parts exchanges carried out at the service centre or by an electrician. Do not operate the appliance when it is wet or in damp environments. If you work outside, connect the device to a residual current (RCD) protective switch with a maximum 30 mA tripping current. Only use extension leads approved for outdoor use.
