GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions 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.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep the 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) Electricalsafety

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 grounded 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 reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personalsafety

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 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, 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 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 cannot 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 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 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, taking 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 unexpected situations.

5)Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHOP SAWS - CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Only ever use the cutting edge (never the side) of the disc for cutting. Avoid putting sideways pressure on the disc, and in particular, making it jam.
2. Keep hands and body away from the disc. Whilst cutting with the machine, do not wear loose clothes which could get caught in it.
3. Treat the disc cutting saw with care, never drop it, always store it in a safe, dry place. Avoid excessive temperatures and humidity.
4. Ensure that all disc flanges and other fitted parts are in good condition and assembled according to instructions. Damaged or missing parts can lead to disc damage. Always use the flanges delivered with the machine.
5. Never work with damaged discs, as these can be dangerous. When changing the disc, first switch off the machine. Rotate the disc by hand and inspect it for unevenness, twists or shearing. If you find any of these, get the disc removed and replace it with a new one. Also replace the disc if it falls to the floor. It may

have become fragile even if you cannot see any ostensible damage.

1. Before you begin cutting, do a test run, i.e. take a step back, switch on the motor and ensure that the disc is functioning correctly. After changing the disc, let the saw run for three minutes; thereafter, before doing any routine work, let it test-run for one minute.

2. Whilst the machine is running, never try to remove a work piece or to clamp a work piece in. Always wait until the disk stops turning completely before removing any work piece or change the settings.

3. Before installing the disc, always inspect the resin and rubber treated disc for shearing.

4. Always cross-check the maximum operating speed of the disc cutting saw with the maximum permitted speed of the motor. Never exceed the maximum permitted operating speed indicated on the disc.

5. Never try to mount a disc onto the machine by force, or to change the size of the axles. Never use discs which do not fit. Only use discs which fit the machine.

6. Do not attempt to attach saw blades to the machine, as it is not designed to cut wood.

7. Do not start cutting until the motor has reached full speed.

8. If, while operating the machine, the disc no longer turns or the motor sounds overloaded, switch off the machine immediately.

9. Keep easily flammable or fragile objects away from the machine. The machine operator must avoid letting his or her hands, face or feet come into contact with the sparks caused when cutting.

10. Position your machine firmly on a flat, even surface.

11. Only operate the machine at the voltage stated on the nameplate.

12. Never touch a sawn-off workpiece, always let it cool down first.

13. Never attempt to cut workpieces which exceed the permitted size.

14. During cutting, never position yourself in the direction of cutting. Always remain to one side.

15. Always leave safety devices installed.

16. Always ensure that you cut slowly and carefully. Avoid applying the disc to the workpiece with a jerky motion.

17. Never push the workpiece towards the disc while holding it in your hands. Always use the

clamp to fix the workpiece.

1. Keep hands away from the cutting disk. Never cut work pieces where manual support is needed closer than 15cm from the rotating disk.
2. Make sure the work piece is properly supported.
3. Never use cutting fluids. These fluids could ignite or cause electrical shock.
4. Do not cut cast-iron materials.
5. Do not cut plastics, wood or synthetic materials.
6. Do not cut magnesium.

Electrical safety

Always check that the voltage of the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

• Do not use the machine if the mains cable or the mains plug is damaged.
