Uncertainty: = 1.5 m/sK 2

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 comparisons. 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 power tool is being used and, in particular, the kind of workpiece that is being worked, the vibration and noise emission values can deviate and may sometimes exceed 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, illustrations 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 battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety
- 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.
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 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 entan-gled 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
  re duces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
- 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 condi-tions 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 allow yourself to get lulled into a false sense of security and do not ignore the safety rules for power tools, even if you are familiar with the power tool after repeated use. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.
- 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 before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
- f) K eep 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 acces-sory tools 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.
Service
- a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualiﬁed repair person using only original replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Appliance-speciﬁc safety instructions for hand-held circular saws

Safety instructions for all saws

Sawing method

a) DANGER! Keep your hands clear of the sawing area and the saw blade. If you are holding the saw with both of your hands, neither hand 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.
c) Set the cutting depth in accordance with the thickness of the workpiece. The blade should not extend more than one full tooth depth under the workpiece.
d) Never hold the workpiece being 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 a suitable mounting hole (e.g. square or round). 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.

Additional 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 saw back in the direction of the operator.
If the saw blade twists in the saw cut or becomes 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.

A kickback is caused by incorrect use or misuse of the saw. 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 kickback. 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 backwards while the saw blade is still moving as this could lead to a kickback. Investigate what is causing the blade to jam and take corrective action.
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.
d) Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large panels or boards can 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 if 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 can jam and cause a kickback.
g) Be particularly careful when sawing in existing walls or other obscured areas. The inserted saw blade could get caught on hidden objects and cause a kickback.

Additional safety instructions for all saws with a splitting wedge Function of the splitting wedge

a) Use the appropriate saw blade for the splitting wedge. For the splitting wedge to work, the saw blade’s main blade must be thinner than the splitting wedge and the tooth width must be more than the splitting wedge thickness.
b) Adjust the splitting wedge as described in these operating instructions. Incorrect spacing, position and alignment can be the reason why the splitting wedge does not eﬀectively prevent a kickback.
d) The splitting wedge must be positioned in the sawing gap before it will work. For short cuts, the splitting wedge is ineﬀective in preventing kickback.
e) Do not operate the saw with a bent splitting wedge. Even a minor fault can slow down the closing of the blade guard.

Supplementary notes

Do not use any grinding discs.
Use only saw blades with diameters corres-ponding to the label on the saw.
Always use the right saw blade for the material being worked.
Use only saw blades with a speed marking that corresponds to or is higher than the speed speciﬁed for the power tool.
Saw blades that are intended for use on wood or similar materials must comply with EN 847-1.
Do not allow the teeth of the saw blade to overheat.
When sawing plastic, avoid melting the plastic.
Wear a dust mask when sawing.
Only use recommended saw blades.
Always wear hearing protection!
