▪ Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
▪ 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.
▪ Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected 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.
▪ 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.
▪ Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
▪ NOTE: The temperature “130 °C” can be replaced by the temperature “265 °F”. )
▪ Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
5.6 Service
▪ Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare
parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.
▪ Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed
by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLUNGE SAWS
▪ Make sure that the mains voltage matches the specifications on the type plate.
▪ Persons with restricted physical, sensory or mental capabilities are not allowed to use the
plunge saw unless they are supervised and instructed by a guardian.
▪ Never leave the powered-on saw unattended and keep them out of reach of children and
persons in need of supervision.
▪ Do not bring your hands in the cutting area and the saw blade.
▪ Keep in mind that even a worn saw blade is still very sharp. Always grasp the saw blade
on the sides. Do not fling the saw blade and do not drop it.
▪ Never use the plunge 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 gripping surfaces when performing an operation
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.
▪ 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 flange or a damaged clamping screw. The outer
flange and the clamping screw have been specially designed for your saw for optimum
performance and reliability.
▪ Start the plunge 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.
