NOTE ► The vibration emission value and noise emission levels specified in these instructions have been measured in accordance with the standardised testing procedure specified and can be used to make equipment compari- sons. The specified vibration emission value and the noise emission values can also be used to make an initial load estimate. WARNING! ► Depending on the manner in which the pow- er tool is being used, and in particular the kind of workpiece that is being worked, the vibration and noise emission values can devi- ate and may, in many cases, be higher than the values given in these instructions. Regular use of the power tool in this way may cause the user to underestimate the vibration. Try to keep the vibration loads as low as possible. Measures to reduce the vibration load are, e.g. wearing gloves and limiting the working time. Wherein all states of operation must be included (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, instructions, illust- rations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below 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 bat- tery-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.PHKSA 12 A1 ■ 20 

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) Avoid body contact with earthed or ground- ed surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric 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 entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. 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 a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce 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 and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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. h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

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 can- not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detacha- ble, 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 acci- dentally. 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.PHKSA 12 A1

 21 ■ e) Maintain power tools and accessories. 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 be- fore 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. h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unex- pected situations.

5. Battery tool use and care

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. b) Use power tools only with specifically desig- nated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire. c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire. d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejec- ted from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns. e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury. f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C (265°F) may cause explosion. g) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instruc- tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire. CAUTION! RISK OF EXPLOSION! Never charge non-rechargeable batteries! Protect the rechargeable battery from heat, for example from continuous exposure to sunlight, fire, water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion.

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. b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers. Appliance-specific safety instructions for circular saws Safety instructions for all saws Sawing method a) DANGER! Keep your hands clear of the sawing area and the saw blade. 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 underneath the workpiece.PHKSA 12 A1 ■ 22 

c) Set the cutting depth to match the thickness of the workpiece. The blade should not extend more than one full tooth depth under the work- piece. d) Never hold the workpiece to be sawn in your hand or over your leg. Fasten the workpiece onto 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 only by the insulated handles when you are carrying out work in which the accessory tool may come into contact with concealed power cables. 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 rip fence 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 of the correct size and with an appropriate central fixing bore (e.g. diamond-shaped or circular). Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control. h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts. The saw blade washers and screws have been specially designed to provide optimum performance and operational safety for your saw. 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 be- comes misaligned, the teeth at the rear edge of the saw blade can become caught in the wood surface, causing the saw blade to jump out of the cut and the saw to jump backwards in the direction of the operator. Kickback is a result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions. This can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below. a) Hold the saw firmly and position your arms so that they can absorb the force of a kick- back. Always stand to the side of the saw blade and never in line with it. 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 back- wards 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. 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.PHKSA 12 A1

 23 ■ d) Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to bend under their own weight. Panels/ boards must be supported on both sides: i.e. both 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) Before sawing, ensure that the fastenings for the cut depth and cut angle settings are tight- ened. If the settings change while sawing, the saw blade might jam and cause a kickback. g) Be particularly careful when sawing in exist- ing walls or other obscured areas. The inserted saw blade could get caught on hidden objects and cause a kickback. Function of the lower blade guard a) Check whether the lower blade guard closes properly before each use. Do not operate the saw if lower blade guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower blade guard into the open position. If the saw is accidentally dropped, lower blade guard may be bent. Raise the blade guard with the release lever and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part at all angles and cut depths. b) Check the operation of the lower blade guard spring. Have the saw serviced before using it if the lower blade guard and spring are not working properly. Damaged parts, sticky deposits or accumulations of chippings can cause the lower blade guard to operate slowly. c) Lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and "compound cuts". Raise the lower blade guard with the release lever and release it as soon as blade enters the material. During all other types of sawing work, the lower blade guard should function automatically. d) Always ensure that the lower blade guard is covering the blade before placing the saw down on the workbench or floor. An unpro- tected, coasting saw blade will move the saw in the opposite direction to the cutting direction and saw anything in its path. Always take into account that the saw blade takes some time to stop spinning.
