5 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow all 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.

5.1 Work area

  • Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
  • 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.
  • Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

5.2 Electrical safety

PowerPlus POWX05201 - Electrical safety - 1

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

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

5.3 Personal safety

  • 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.
  • Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used whenever conditions require will reduce personal injuries.
  • Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
  • 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.
  • Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
  • 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.
  • If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.

5.4 Power tool use and care

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or sticking 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.

- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to stick and are easier to control.

- 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 lead to a hazardous situation.

5.5 Service

- 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.

6 SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS FOR CIRCULAR SAWS

  • Make sure that all devices screening the saw blade are in perfect working order.

PowerPlus POWX05201 - Switching on and off(Fig.4) - 1

Before engage the ON/OFF switch, check that the saw blade is properly fitted and run smoothly, the blade clamp bolt is well tightened.

  • Connect the plug to the power supply.
  • To switch on the circular saw, press the lock-off button (17) and pull the ON/OFF switch trigger (16).
  • When you release the switch trigger (16), the tool turns off.

7.5 Parallel cut adjustment(Fig.5)

■ Loosen the lock knob of parallel guide (9).
- Slide the parallel guide (11) through the slots in the shoe to the desired width.
- Tighten the lock bolt to fit it in the position.
- Ensure that the edge guide rests against the wood along its entire length to give a consistent parallel cuts.

8 OPERATION

8.1 General cutting

- When starting, always hold the saw handle with one hand and the auxiliary handle (5) with the other hand. Never force the saw but maintain a light and continuous pressure after completing the cut allow the saw to come to a complete stop. When cutting is interrupted, resume cutting by allowing the blade to reach full speed and then reentering the cut slowly.

- When cutting across the grain, the fibers of the wood have a tendency to lift and tear, moving the saw slowly minimizes this effect.

8.2 Pocket cutting

  • Disconnect the plug from the power supply before making any adjustments. Set the depth adjustment based on the thickness of the line drawing for the cut .raise the lower guard by using the lift lever.
  • With the blade barely above the material to be cut, start the saw and allow the blade to come to full speed. Gradually lower the blade unto the material to be cut using the front end of the shoe as a pivot point. When the blade starts cutting, release the lower guard. When the shoe is resting flat on the surface being cut, proceed cutting in a forward direction to the end of the cut. Allow the blade to come to a full stop before removing it from the cut. Never pull the saw backward since the blade will climb out of the cut and kickback will occur. Turn the saw around and finish the cut in a normal manner, sawing forward. Use a jigsaw or a hand saw to finish the cut in the corners, if required.

8.3 Cutting Large Sheets

  • Large sheet or boards require support to prevent bends or sags. If you attempt to cut without leveling and properly supporting the work piece, the blade will tend to bind, causing kickback.
  • Support the panel or board close to the cut. Be sure to set the blade adjustment so that you can cut through the material without cutting into the table or workbench. Suggestion: use two by fours to support the board or panel to be cut. If the piece is too large for the workbench, use the floor with the two-by fours supporting the wood.
