▪ Do not maltreat the cable. Never pull on the cable, for removing the plug from the socket.
Do not expose the cable to heat, oil, water or sharp edges.
▪ Some types of dust that is generated while working with the saw may contain chemicals,
which can cause cancer, birth defects or other genetic damages. Some examples of these
substances are:
▪ Lead derived from paints containing lead;
▪ Arsenic and chrome from chemically treated wood.
▪ The hazard to your health from such exposures is dependent on how frequently you do
this kind of work.
▪ Measures for reducing your exposure to such chemicals: Always work in well-ventilated
surroundings and with certified safety equipment, such as dust masks that have been
specially designed for filtering out microscopic particles.
▪ For sawing operations, connect the equipment to a dust exhaust system.
▪ The guard may be lifted up while positioning a workpiece, or for easier access during
maintenance works. Make sure that the saw guard has been lowered and is positioned flat
against the sawing table, before connecting your tool to the mains supply.
7 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES AND
CHARGERS
Use only batteries and chargers applicable for this machine.
7.1 Batteries
▪ Never attempt to open for any reason.
▪ Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40 °C.
▪ Charge only at ambient temperatures between 4 °C and 40 °C.
▪ Store your batteries in a cool dry place (5 °C-20 °C). Never store batteries in discharged
state.
▪ It is better for Li-ion batteries to discharge and reload them regularly (at least 4 times a
year). The ideal charge for long-term storage of your Li-ion battery is 40% of capacity.
▪ When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section “Protecting the
environment”.
▪ Do not cause short circuits. If connection is made between the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminal directly or via accidental contact with metallic objects, the battery is short circuited
and an intense current will flow causing heat generation which may lead to casing rupture
or fire.
▪ Do not heat. If batteries are heated to above 100 °C, sealing and insulating separators
and other polymer components may be damaged resulting in electrolyte leakage and/or
internal short circuiting leading to heat generation causing rupture or file. Moreover do not
dispose of the batteries in fire, explosion and/or intense burning may result.
▪ Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid on the
battery, proceed as follows:
− Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact.
− In case of skin or eye contact, follow the instructions below:
✓ Immediately rinse with water. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or
vinegar.
✓ In case of eye contact, rinse abundantly with clean water for at least 10 minutes.
Consult a physician.
Fire hazard! Avoid short-circuiting the contacts of a detached battery. Do not
incinerate the battery.
