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

2. Electrical safety

a. Power tool plugs must match the out- let. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs which earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radi- ators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. 7062348_T-Raxx-Compact_Ma_#1507-10.indb 14 01-09-15 10:0315 English

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 entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for out- door use. Use of a cord suitable for out- door use reduces the risk of electric shock. f. Always use tool in conjunction with a residual circuit breaker device. The use of a residual circuit breaker device reduces the risk of electric shock.

a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operat- ing a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medica- tion. A moment of inattention while oper- ating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appro- priate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plug- ging in. Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or plugging in 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 per- sonal injury. e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unex- pected situations. f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g. If devices are provided for the connec- tion of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. The use of these pieces of equipment reduce hazards caused by dust.

4. Power tool use and care

a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your 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 cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c. Disconnect the plug from the power source 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 mis- alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condi- tion that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many acci- dents 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 and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for 7062348_T-Raxx-Compact_Ma_#1507-10.indb 15 01-09-15 10:03English

operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLUNGE

SAWS When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of re, electric shock and personal injury. Read all these instructions before attempting to operate this product and save these instructions.

• Make sure that the mains voltage matches the specications on the type plate.

• Persons with restricted physical, sensory or mental capabilities are not allowed to use the circular saw unless they are supervised and instructed by a guardian.

• Never leave the powered-on saw unat- tended and keep them out of reach of children and persons in need of supervision.

• Use only approved extension cords with a suitable cable quality.

• Do not bring your hands in the cutting area and the saw blade.

• Wear appropriate work clothing as well as eye protection, hand protection and hear- ing protection. Always handle the saw blade with gloves.

• Keep in mind that even a worn saw blade is still very sharp. Always grasp the saw blade on the sides. Do not ing the saw blade and do not drop it.

• Never use the circular saw with grinding wheels.

• Do not grip underneath the workpiece. The protective cover cannot protect you from the saw blade under the workpiece.

• Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. It should be visible less than a full tooth height under the workpiece.

• Do not cut very small workpieces. When cutting round wood, use a device which secures the workpiece from twisting. Never hold the workpiece to be cut in your hand or across your leg. It is important to secure the workpiece properly to minimise the risk of physical contact, jamming of the saw blade or loss of control.

• Hold the saw only by the insulated grip- ping surfaces when performing an opera- tion where the cutting tool may come into contact with hidden power lines or its own device cable. Contact with a live wire also exposes the metal parts to tension and leads to an electric shock.

• When cutting longitudinally, always use the parallel stop or a straight edge guide. This improves the cutting accuracy and reduces the possibility that the saw blade gets jammed.

• Use always saw blades in the correct size and with suitable locating bore. Saw blades that do not match the mounting parts of the saw will run unevenly and lead to loss of control.

• Never use a damaged or incorrect outer ange or a damaged clamping screw. The outer ange and the clamping screw have been specially designed for your saw for optimum performance and reliability.

• Start the circular saw and begin cutting when it reaches the full idling speed.

• Never brake the saw blade using lateral pressure after switching it off.

• Set the saw aside only when the saw blade comes to a standstill.

• Do not expose the saw to high tempera- tures, humidity and strong shocks. The saw can be damaged as a result.

CAUSES AND PREVENTION OF

• A kickback is the sudden reaction as a result of a stuck, jammed or misaligned saw blade which leads to an uncontrolled saw to be lifted and moved from the work- piece out in the direction of the operator. 7062348_T-Raxx-Compact_Ma_#1507-10.indb 16 01-09-15 10:0317 English

• A kickback can occur when the saw blade gets stuck or jammed in the saw gap. The saw blade is blocked and the motor force repels the circular saw in the direction of the operator.

• A kickback can occur when the saw blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the saw groove. As a result, the teeth of the back edge of the saw blade can get stuck in the surface of the workpiece, whereby the saw blade is moved out of the saw gap and the saw jumps back in the direction of the operator. A kickback is the result of incorrect or faulty use of the saw. It can be prevented by appro- priate precautions as described below.

• Hold the saw rmly with both hands and bring your arms into a position in which you can resist the kickback forces. Always hold the saw on the sides, never bring the blade in line with your body. In a kickback, the saw can jump backwards, but the operator can control the kickback forces if appropriate measures were taken.

• If the saw blade jams or sawing is inter- rupted for any reason, release the ON / OFF switch and calmly hold the saw in the material until the saw blade stands com- pletely still. Never attempt to remove the saw from the workpiece or pull it back- wards as long as the saw blade is moving or a kickback might occur. Find the cause of the saw blade jam and eliminate them through appropriate measures.

• When you want to restart a saw that is stuck in a workpiece, center the saw blade in the saw gap and check that the saw teeth are not stuck in the workpiece. If the saw blade jams, it can move out from the workpiece or a kickback can happen if the saw is restarted.

• Prop up large panels in order to minimise the risk of a kickback by a jammed saw blade. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Panels must be sup- ported on both sides, both in the vicinity of the saw gap as well as on the edge.

• Do not use dull or damaged saw blades. Saw blades with blunt or misaligned teeth cause increased friction, jamming of the saw blade and kickback by an excessively narrow saw gap.

• Tighten the cutting depth position prior to cutting. If the settings change while cut- ting, the saw blade can jam and a kick- back can occur.

• Be especially careful if you perform a "circular cut" in a hidden area, such as an existing wall. The protruding saw blade can get blocked in hidden objects while cutting and cause a kickback.

• Do not place the saw on the workbench or the oor unless the saw blade is at a standstill. An unprotected, running saw blade moves the saw against the cutting direction and cuts whatever is in its way. Thus note the delay time of the saw.

• For this reason, the saw is not suitable for use in reverse position as xed equipment.

• Do not operate the saw if it is not working properly or has been damaged. In case of technical problems, do not attempt to repair it on your own. Contact the service or have the saw repaired by a professional. ELECTRICAL SAFETY When using electric machines always observe the safety regulations applicable in your coun- try to reduce the risk of re, electric shock and personal injury. Read the following safety instructions and also the enclosed safety instructions. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. Class II machine – Double insulation – You don’t need any earthed plug. Replacing cables or plugs If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualied person, in order to avoid a hazard. Immediately throw away old cables or plugs when they have been replaced by new ones. It is dangerous to insert the plug of a loose cable in the wall outlet. 7062348_T-Raxx-Compact_Ma_#1507-10.indb 17 01-09-15 10:03English

Using extension cables Only use an approved extension cable suitable for the power input of the machine. The mini- mum conductor size is 1.5 mm

. When using a cable reel always unwind the reel completely Inadequate extension cords can be danger- ous. If an extension cord is used, it shall be suitable for outdoor use, and the connection has to be kept dry and off the ground. It is recommended that this is accomplished by means of a cord reel which keeps the socket at least 60 mm above the ground.

Remove the plunge saw and the accessories from the packaging. Check the saw for trans- port damage and do not use the saw in case of damages.

When using the saw with guide rail always align cutting line (13a + b) at the front and back of the base plate with your marked cutting line for straight cuts.

GUIDE RAIL SPLINTER GUARDS

The guide rails come with a splinter guard (black protruding rubber lip). The splinter guard should be cut to size before rst use. The splin- ter guard ensures a tear-free cut, since the wood bres at the top of the work piece are torn without splinter guard. This is due to the saw blade teeth being directed upward. After cutting the splinter guard to size it also shows the precise cutting path of the saw blade.

1. Place the plunge saw at the rear end of
