Electric power tool, protection class II The manufacturer uses the CE marking to conrm that this electric power tool complies with the relevant European directives. Not for wet grinding! Not for rough grinding!

WARNING! Read all instructions Failure to follow all instructions listed below may resultinelectricshock,reand/orseriousinjury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool. Save these instructions for future reference!

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered 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. 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 which earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodiedplugsandmatchingoutletswill 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.

TMe) 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) 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 operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating 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 appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carryingpowertoolswithyourngeronthe 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 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. 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 misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools 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 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 operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation.

a) Please use a qualied expert who uses original replacement parts to repair your power tool. This will ensure proper functioning of the power tool.

a) DANGER: Do not put your hands in the sawing area or on the saw blade. Use your second hand to hold onto the auxiliary handle or the motor housing. If both hands are being used to hold the circular saw, then they cannot be injured by the saw blade. b) Do not grip underneath the workpiece. The safety guard cannot protect you against the saw blade under the workpiece. c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpieces. The saw should protrude by no more than the height of one tooth under the workpiece. d) Never hold the workpiece to be sawn in your hand or over your leg. Secure the workpiece in a stable holder. It is important tofastentheworkpiecermlyinorderto minimise the danger of contact with the body, jamming of the saw blade or loss of control. e) Grip the electric power tool by the insulated handling surfaces only when you are carrying out work in situations where the tool insert may make contact with hidden power lines or its own power cable. Contact with a live wire places a voltage on the metal parts of the electric power tool and will lead to an electric shock. f) Always use a stop or a straight edge guide when making longitudinal cuts. These improve the accuracy of the cut and reduce the possibility of the saw blade jamming. g) Always use saw blades of the right size and with matching locating holes (e.g. star-shaped or round). Saw blades which are not matched to the mounting pieces of the saw will run eccentrically and lead to loss of control. h) Never attach the saw blade using damaged or incorrect washers or screws. The saw blade washers and screws are specially constructed for your saw, to give optimal performance and operating safety.

The causes of kickback and how to avoid them:

• Akickbackisasuddenreactiondueto snagging, jamming or misalignment of the saw blade, which results in the uncontrolled saw jumping out of the workpiece and moving towards the operator.

• Ifthesawbladehavingsnaggedorjammedin a self-closing saw cut, is locked and the motors power jolts the device back towards the operator.

• Ifthesawbladeisrotatedormisalignedinthe saw cut, the teeth on the rear edge of the blade can become hooked in the surface of the workpiece, whereby the saw blade jumps out of the cut and the saw springs back in the direction of the operator. A kickback is the result of improper or incorrect use of the saw. It can be avoided by taking suitable precautions, as described below. a) Hold the saw rmly with both hands and place your arms in such a position that you can absorb the force of a kickback. Always keep yourself to one side of the saw blade and never bring the blade in line with your body. In the event of a kickback, the circular saw may spring backwards; however, the operator can control the kickback force if suitable measures have been taken. b) If the saw blade becomes jammed or if you interrupt the work, switch the saw off and keep it held gently in the material until the saw blade has come to rest. Never attempt to extract the saw from the workpiece or to pull it backwards while the saw blade is moving; otherwise a kickback may occur. Find and remove the cause for the saw-blade's jamming. c) If you wish to restart a saw that is already in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the cut and check that the teeth are not snagged in the workpiece. If the saw blade jams, it may run out of the workpiece or cause a kickback when the saw is restarted. d) Provide support for large sheets to reduce the risk of a kickback through jamming of the saw blade. Large sheets can bend under their own weight. The sheets must be supported on both sides, at the edges and close to the saw cut. e) Do not use blunt or damaged saw blades. If saw blades with blunt or misaligned teeth are used, the saw cut is too narrow resulting in increased friction, jamming of the blade and kickback.

TMf) Before sawing, rmly tighten the adjustments of the cutting depth and cutting angle. If the settings adjust themselves during sawing, the saw blade may become clamped and a kickback will occur. g) Be especially careful, if you are making a plunge cut in an existing wall or other non- visible area. The immersed saw blade can jam when sawing into hidden objects and cause a kickback.

2.4 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THIS MINI

CIRCULAR SAW a) Check before each use that the safety guard closes correctly. Do not use the saw if the lower safety guard does not move freely and does not close immediately. Never clamp or secure the lower safety guard in the open position. If the saw should accidentally fall to the ground, the lower safety guard may become bent. Open the safety guard with the retraction lever and ensure that it moves freely. Check that it does not interfere with the saw blade or other components, at any cutting angle or cutting depth. b) Check the condition and operation of the spring for the lower safety guard. Do not use the equipment if the lower safety guard and spring do not work perfectly. Damaged parts, adhesive deposits or accumulations of shavings retard the operation of the lower safety guard. c) When making a plunge cut which is not at right angles, make sure that the saw's guide plate can not move laterally. Lateral movements can cause the saw blade to jam and hence result in kickback. d) Do not put down the saw on the workbench or oor, without the lower safety guard covering the saw blade. When slowing down after use, an unprotected saw blade will move the saw in the direction opposite to the cutting direction and will saw whatever lies in its path. Pay attention, therefore, to the deceleration time of the saw.

2.5 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUT OFF

GRINDING APPLICATIONS Safety instructions for cut off grinders

The safety guard for the electric power tool must be securely attached and adjusted so that maximum safety is attained, i.e. the smallest possible portion of the grinding wheel shows openly to the operator. Make sure that you and any other nearby individuals are not in the plane of the rotating grinding disc. The safety guard is intended to protect the operator from fragments and from accidental contact with the grinding wheel. b) Use only diamond cutting discs for your electric power tool. The fact that you can attach an accessory to your electric power tool, does not guarantee that it is safe to use. c) The permissible rotary speed of the tool insert must be at least as high as the quoted maximum rotary speed of the electric power tool. Accessories which are rotated faster than their permissible speed may breakoryoff. d) Grinding wheels may only be used for their recommended types of application, e.g. never grind with the side face of a cutting wheel. Cutting wheels only remove material using the edge of the disc. Application of lateral forces to these grinding wheels can cause them to break. e) Always use an undamaged clamping ange of the correct size and shape for your selected grinding disc. Suitableanges support the grinding disc and so reduce the danger of it breaking. f) Do not use worn out grinding discs from larger electric power tools. Grinding discs from larger electric power tools are not suitable for the higher rotary speeds of small electric power tools and can break during use. g) The outer diameter and thickness of tool inserts must correspond with the given characteristics of your electric power tool. Wrongly-sized tool inserts cannot be sufcientlyshieldedorcontrolled. h) Grinding discs and anges must t exactly on the grinding spindle of your electric power tool. Toolinserts,whichdonott exactly to the grinding spindle of the electric power tool, will rotate unevenly and vibrate strongly and may lead to loss of control.

ENi) Do not use damaged grinding discs. Before each use, inspect the grinding wheels for any chipping or cracks. If the electric power tool or the grinding disc is dropped, inspect it for damage or replace it with an undamaged grinding disc. When you have inspected and installed the grinding disc, make sure that you, and any other nearby individuals, remain out of the plane of the rotating grinding disc and then allow the tool to rotate at its highest speed for one minute. Damaged grinding discs usually break during this test time. j) Wear protective clothing and equipment. Depending on the application, use either a full face visor, protective goggles or safety glasses. As far as appropriate, where a dust mask, hearing protection, safety gloves or special apron to protect yourself from splinters and other particles of material. Theeyesmustbeprotectedagainstanyying particles which may be generated during the various applications. Dust masks or respirators mustlteroutthedustgeneratedbythe application. If you are exposed to loud noise for a long time, you may suffer from hearing loss. k) Make sure that other people remain at a safe distance from your working area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal safety clothing and equipment. Fragments of the workpiece or of a broken tool insertmayyoffandcauseinjuries,even outside the direct working area. l) If you are carrying out work in situations where the tool insert may make contact with concealed power lines or its own power cable, only hold the device by the insulated hand grips. Contact with a live cable could result in metal parts of the device also becoming live and lead to an electric shock. m) Keep the power cable and the rotating tool insert far apart. If you lose control of the device, the power cable may be severed or caught and may draw your hand or arm into the rotating tool insert.

Never put down the electric power tool before the tool insert has come to a complete stop. The rotating tool insert may come into contact with the supporting surface and cause you to lose control of the electric power tool. o) Do not leave the electric power tool running while you carry it around. Your clothes may become caught through accidental contact with the rotating tool insert and result in the tool drilling into your body. p) Clean the ventilation slits on your electric power tool, regularly. The motor fan draws dust into the housing and a large accumulation of metallic dust can cause electrical hazards. q) Do not use the electric power tool in the vicinity of ammable materials. Sparks can ignite such materials. r) Do not use any tool inserts which require liquid coolants. The use of water or other liquid coolants could result in electrical shock.

2.6 FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR

CUT OFF GRINDING APPLICATIONS

Kickback and relevant safety instructions Kickback is the sudden reaction following snagging or jamming of a rotating grinding disc. Snagging or jamming lead to an abrupt stop of the rotating tool insert. This may then cause the uncontrolled electric power tool to accelerate in the opposite direction to the inserted tools direction of rotation at the point were it jammed. If, for example, a grinding disc snags or jams inside a workpiece, the edge of the grinding disc which is inside the workpiece may become caught and thus cause the grinding disc to jump out or create a kickback. The grinding disc then moves towards or away from the operator, depending on the direction of rotation of the disc at the jamming point. This can also cause a grinding disc to break. A kickback is the result of improper or incorrect use of the electric Power tool. It can be avoided by taking suitable precautions, as described below. a) Hold the electric power tool rmly and place your body and arms in such a position that you can absorb the force of a kickback. Always use the auxiliary grips, when available, in order to have the greatest possible control over kickback forces or torque reactions at high speed. By taking suitable precautionary measures, the operator can control kickback and reaction forces. b) Never bring your hand into the vicinity of a rotating tool insert. The inserted tool could move over your hand if kickback occurs.

TMc) Avoid the area in front of and behind a rotating cutting wheel. A kickback will send the electric power tool in the opposite direction to the movement of the grinding disc at the point where it jams. d) Work extremely carefully in the neighbourhood of corners, sharp edges etc. Prevent the tool insert from recoiling from the workpiece and jamming. The rotating tool insert bends at corners and sharp edges or if it rebounds and may jam itself. This causes a loss of control or kickback. e) Do not use any chainsaw or toothed saw blade, nor any segmented diamond disc, with slots wider than 10 mm. Such tool inserts frequently cause a kickback or loss of control of the electric power tool. f) Avoid jamming of the cutting wheel or too high a contact pressure. Do not make excessively deep cuts. An overload of the cutting wheel increases its stress and its susceptibility to tilting or jamming and, hence, increases the possibility of a kickback or break in the grinding wheel. g) If the cutting wheel becomes jammed or if you interrupt the work, switch the device off and keep it held gently until the disc has come to a standstill. Never attempt to remove a still-running cutting wheel from the cut, otherwise kickback may result. Find and remove the cause for the jamming. h) Do not switch on the electric power tool again, while it is still in the workpiece. Allow the cutting wheel to rst reach its full rotation speed before carefully continuing the cut; otherwise, the disc may snag, jump out of the workpiece or cause a kickback.

i) Provide support for large workpieces, to

reduce the risk of a kickback through jamming of the cutting wheel. Large workpieces can bend under their own weight. The workpiece must be supported on both sides of the disc, as well as both in the neighbourhood of the separation cut and at the edges. j) Be especially careful when making "pocket cuts" in existing walls or other non-visible areas. The immersed cutting tool can cause a kickback when cutting into gas or water pipes, electric cables or other objects.

6.6 Extraction of dust and splinters (Figure 6)

Attention! When working with items coated in lead- containing paint, for example, or with some types of wood, harmful or poisonous dust particles may be generated. This presents a danger both for the user and for other people nearby. Protect yourself with suitable personal safety clothing and equipment and keep other people away from the working area. Connect an extraction system or a vacuum cleaner to the electric power tool. This will provide you with optimum extraction of dust and splinters from the workpiece. Advantages: You preserve both the electric power tool and your health. Moreover, you're working area remains clean and safe.

• Connectthesuctionhose(9)tothedust extraction connection (6).

Turn the suction hose to the right until it engages. Attach a suitable dust extraction device. Notes:

1. Make sure that the vacuum cleaner is suitable

for use with the electric power tool. Most dry vacuum cleaners for domestic use are well- suited to this purpose.

2. The vacuum cleaner is particularly useful if

many cuts are being performed successively. It means that less frequent stops are required to clean the electric power tool and the workplace.

3. When you are cutting materials which may

produce dangerous dust, always use a vacuum cleaner. This applies, in particular, to hardwoods, MDF sheets and ceramics.
