= 102.23 dB (A) Uncertainty: K = 3 dB (A) Wear hearing protection! Vibration values: Vibration values (vector total of three directions) determined in accordance with EN 60745: Cutting chipboard: Main handle a h,W = 4.202 m/s

NOTE ► The vibration level specified in these instruc- tions has been measured in accordance with a standardised measuring procedure specified in EN 60745 and can be used to make equipment comparisons. The specified vibration emission value can also be used to make an initial exposure estimate. WARNING! ► The vibration level varies in accordance with the use of the power tool and may be higher than the value specified in these instructions in some cases. There is a risk of underestima- tion of the vibration load if the power tool is used regularly in this manner. Try to keep the vibration loads as low as possible. Measures to reduce the vibration load include wearing gloves and limiting your working time. All states of operation must be taken into account (e.g. times when the power tool is switched off and times where the power tool is switched on but running without load). General Power Tool Safety Warnings WARNING! ► Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instruc- tions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) A void body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec- tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entan- gled cords increase the risk of electric shock.PTSS 1200 B1 ■ 16 

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduc- es the risk of electric shock.

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, depending on the type and use of the electric tool, will reduce the risk of 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, jewel- lery 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 intended 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 can- not 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 misalign- ment 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, tak- ing 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.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replace- ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.PTSS 1200 B1

 17 ■ Appliance-specific safety instructions for circular saws Cutting procedures a) Danger! Keep your hands clear of the sawing area and the saw blade. Hold the auxiliary handle or motor housing with your other hand. When both hands are being used to hold the saw, neither can be injured by the saw blade. b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The blade guard cannot protect you from the saw blade below the workpiece. c) Adapt the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth height should be visible below the workpiece. d) Never hold the workpiece to be sawn in your hand or over your leg. Fasten the workpiece to a stable working surface. It is important to fasten the workpiece securely to minimise the danger of bodily contact, jamming of the saw blade or loss of control. e) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a live wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool live and could give the operator an electric shock. f) When making longitudinal cuts, always use a guide rail or a straight edge guide. This will improve the accuracy of your cut and reduce the likelihood of the saw blade jamming. g) Always use saw blades with the correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control. h) Never use damaged or incorrect saw blade washers or screws. The saw blade washers and screws have been specially designed for your saw to provide optimum performance and operational safety. Further safety instructions for all saws Kickback causes and corresponding safety instructions – A kickback is a sudden reaction caused as a result of the saw blade catching, jamming or being falsely aligned, causing the saw to jump up uncontrollably and out of the workpiece in the direction of the operator; – if the saw blade catches or jams in a narrowing saw cut, the blade can no longer rotate and the power of the motor throws the appliance back in the direction of the operator; – if the saw blade twists in the saw cut or becomes misaligned, the teeth at the rear edge of the saw blade can become caught in the sur- face of the workpiece, causing the saw blade to jump out of the cut and the saw to jump backwards in the direction of the operator. A kickback is caused by incorrect use or misuse of the saw. This can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below. a) Hold the saw firmly in both hands and position your arms so that they can absorb the force of a kickback. Position your body to either side of the saw blade, never in line with the saw blade. If a kickback occurs, the circular saw may jump backwards. However, by taking appropriate precautions the operator can control the kickback forces. b) If the saw blade jams or you stop working, switch the saw off and hold it steadily in the workpiece until the saw blade has completely stopped turning. Never attempt to remove the saw from the workpiece or pull it backwards while the saw blade is still moving as this could lead to a kickback. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.PTSS 1200 B1 ■ 18 

c) If you want to restart a saw that is still in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the cut and check to ensure that the teeth are not caught anywhere in the workpiece. If the saw blade catches it can jump out of the workpiece or cause a kickback when the saw is restarted. d) Support large panels or boards to reduce the risk of the saw blade jamming and causing a kickback. Large panels tend to bend under their own weight. Panels must be supported on both sides, in the vicinity of the saw cut and also at the edge. e) Do not use blunt or damaged saw blades. Saw blades with blunt or misaligned teeth may cause excessive friction as the saw cut is too narrow, and this can cause a saw blade jam and kickback. f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making cut. If the settings change while sawing, the saw blade might jam and cause a kickback. g) Be particularly careful when sawing in existing walls or other obscured areas. The inserted saw blade could get caught on hidden objects and cause a kickback. Function of the blade guard a) B efore every use, check to ensure that the blade guard closes properly. Do not use the saw if the blade guard does not move freely and does not close immediately. Never clamp or tie the blade guard into the open position. If the saw accidentally falls to the floor, the blade guard might bend. Ensure that the blade guard moves freely and does not touch the saw blade or other parts at all cutting angles or depths. b) Check the operation of the blade guard spring If the guard and the spring are not op- erating properly, have the appliance serviced before using it. Damaged parts, sticky deposits or accumulations of chippings can cause the blade guard to operate slowly. c) When making a "plunge cut" which is not at right angles, secure the saw base plate to prevent any lateral movement. Lateral move- ment can cause the saw blade to jam, thus causing a kickback. d) Do not leave the saw on the work bench or floor if the blade guard is not fully covering the saw blade. An unprotected, coasting saw blade will move the saw in the opposite direc- tion to the cutting direction and saw anything in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released. Supplementary notes ■ Do not use any grinding discs. ■ Use only saw blades with diameters corre- sponding to the label on the saw.

WARNING! DANGER DUE TO DUST

EXPOSURE! ► When working for extended periods of time on wood and, in particular, materials that produce dust which is hazardous to health, connect the appliance to an appropriate external dust extraction appliance. Wear protective gloves! Wear a dust mask! Wear safety goggles! Wear ear protectors! ■ Do not allow the teeth of the saw blade to overheat. ■ When sawing plastic, avoid melting the plastic. WARNING!
